SUMMARY

OF DISCUSSIONS FOR DRAFT RAI RESPONSES INCLUDED IN THE MAY 3, 2018 TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALL The following draft responses were discussed with the applicant during the call. The conclusions of the discussions are noted in parentheses.

Topic 1 RAI B.1.4-1 Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks Inspection The applicants draft response, dated May 3, 2018, can be found in ADAMS Accession No. ML18123A495.

(Resolution: The applicants draft response appropriately addressed the staffs concerns and the applicant committed to provide a final response.)

Topic 2 RAI B.1.15-1 Diesel Fuel Monitoring The applicants draft response, May 1, 2018, can be found in ADAMS Accession No. ML18122A125.

(Resolution: The applicants draft response appropriately addressed the staffs concerns and the applicant committed to provide a final response.)

Topic 3 RAI B.1.17-1 External Surfaces Monitoring The applicants draft response, dated May 2, 2018, can be found in ADAMS Accession No. ML18122A126.

(Resolution: The staff noted that in the applicants draft RAI response they summarized their basis for not incorporating Table 2 AMR items for the subject stainless steel and aluminum components by stating, [r]ather than identifying aging effects inconsistent with NUREG-1801 in the Section 3 LRA tables, the potential for SCC and loss of material for stainless steel components and for loss of material for aluminum components exposed to outdoor air recently introduced into a building will be assessed through a one-time inspection of outdoor components in accordance with the One-Time Inspection Program. The staff does not agree with the basis for not incorporating Table 2 AMR items. Numerous Table 2 entries are included in an LRA even when the specific material, environment, aging effect, and program (MEAP) combinations are not consistent with the GALL Report. Table 2 entries ensure that all structures and components subject to aging management review are clearly identified with the corresponding MEAP. However, in this case, the staff noted that the specific one-time inspections have been incorporated into the UFSAR Supplement for the One-Time Inspection Program. As a result, the inspections will be included in the current licensing basis. The level of detail in the UFSAR envelopes the MEAP for the subject components. In this specific situation, the staff considers this approach to be a sufficient alternative to incorporating these MEAP combinations into the Table 2s. The applicant committed to provide a final response.)

Topic 4 RAI B.1.21-2 Flow Accelerated Corrosion The applicants draft response, dated April 25, 2018, can be found in ADAMS Accession No. ML18115A163.

(Resolution: The applicants draft response appropriately addressed the staffs concerns and the applicant committed to provide a final response.)

Topic 5 RAIs B.1.40-2 and B.1.40-5 Service Water Integrity The applicants draft response on B.1.40-2, dated May 1, 2018, and on B.1.40-5, dated May 2, 2018, can be found in ADAMS Accession No. ML18122A124, and ML18122A231, respectively.

(Resolution: For B.1.40-2, the applicants draft response appropriately addressed the staffs concerns and the applicant committed to provide a final response. For B.1.40-5, the applicants draft response did not fully address the staffs concerns. As a result, the applicant agreed to expand the discussion on cooling tower fill material and related operating experiences associated with the cooling towers in the final response.)

Topic 6 RAIs 4.6.1a and 4.6.2a Fatigue Monitoring The applicants draft responses on 4.6.1a and 4.6.2a, dated May 1, 2018 can be found in ADAMS Accession No. ML18121A294 and ML18121A302, respectively.

(Resolution: The applicants draft responses did not fully address the staffs concerns.

As a result, the applicant agreed to include additional information in the River Bend Station License Renewal Application Appendix A Updated Safety Analysis Report Supplement.)
