to AEP-NRC-2021-16 Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding Unit 1 and Unit 2 10 CFR 50.55a Request Associated with the Fifth Ten-Year lnservice Testing Interval By letter dated October 5, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20290A500), Indiana Michigan Power Company (l&M), the licensee for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant (CNP) Unit 1 and Unit 2, requested that, pursuant to Section 50.55a(z)( 1) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations ( 10 CFR), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) authorize relief request REL-PP2 for CNP Unit 1 and Unit 2. Specifically, l&M requested authorization of a proposed alternative to certain requirements in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (ASME OM Code), associated with the vibration acceptance criteria for smooth running pumps at CNP.
The NRC staff is currently reviewing the submittal and has determined that additional information is needed in order to complete the review. The request for additional information (RAI) and l&M's response are provided below.
RAI-EMIB (REL-PP2)
APPLICABLE REGULATION AND GUIDANCE The NRG regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1) require that a licensee must demonstrate that its proposed alternative would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.
The NRG regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4), "lnservice testing standards requirement for operating plants," states, in part, that valves that are within the scope of the ASME OM Code must meet the inservice testing (/ST) requirements set forth in the ASME OM Code; and that valves that are within the scope of the ASME OM Code, but are not classified as ASME BPV Code Class 1, 2, or 3, may be satisfied as part of an augmented /ST program.
RAI-EM/8-01 The NRG staff compared the October 5, 2020, submittal to the version of the CNP /ST Program Plan outlined in letter dated June 30, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16197A057) and noted apparent differences. Please confirm the information for the components within scope of the /ST Program with respect to the differences noted in the table on the next page.

The Pump Table has been corrected and is included below. This 1ST Pump Table replaces the previously submitted 1ST Pump Table in its entirety. Please note that the pump tables in the 1ST Program have been updated since the 2016 1ST Program Plan, Rev 0, was issued. The 1ST Program infonnation is contained in a database program and the 1ST Program Plan is a direct report from this database. As part of the 5th Interval Update, that was submitted to the NRC on June 30, 2016, Cook migrated the 1ST data to a new software program. Issues with the migration resulted in some of the pumps not being included in the report for the 1ST Program Plan.
The Table below reflects the correct, current, CNP 1ST Program Plan-5th Interval, Revision 3.

Recently, ASME issued Code Case OMN-22, "Smooth Running Pumps," to provide its recommended method for an alternative to the ASME OM Code pump testing requirements for smooth running pumps. The wording in the licensee's alternative request looks similar to OMN-22, but this Code Case is not directly referenced in the alternative request. Does the similarity in wording reflect the licensee's intention to follow OMN-22?
l&M Response to EMIB REVIEW NOTE The intent of this relief request was to follow Code Case OMN-22, "Smooth Running Pumps." The code case was not mentioned in the relief request since it has not been endorsed by the NRC.
Yes, l&M is requesting relief to use Code Case OMN-22 for the remainder of the CNP 1ST 5th Interval.
