l WHY EQ IS A CONCERN As a result of license renewal activities, the staff 7 determined that the differences between the qualification requirements for older plants and newer plants should be reassessed for current operating plants. Sandia National Laboratory tests results raised questions with respect to accident performance capability of certain artificially aged equipment. A preliminary risk scoping assessment indicated that inadequate EQ could be a significant contributor to core damage frequency. The Fire Protection Reassessment Report concluded that EQ should be reviewed to identify and correct any - programmatic weaknesses that may exist. 3 Nov-93 1 m m m m w .wwem m , -.w, v-e t.... -.,.. ,,.+,,<e

THE PURPOSES OF THE EQ TASK ACTION PLAN ARE TO: 1. EVALUATE DIFFERENCES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST IN EQ REQUIREMENTS BETWEEN OLDER AND NEWER PLANTS. 2. ASSESS THE ADEQUACY OF ACCELERATED AGING PRACTICES THAT ARE CURRENTLY USED FOR DEMONSTRATING EQUIPMENT QUALIFICATION. 3. PERFORM A PROGRAMMATIC REVIEW ~OF EQ REQUIREMENTS TO IDENTIFY AND RESOLVE ANY OTHER EQ ISSUES THAT-MAY EXIST. 3 Nov-93 l l
