Thermal and Radiation Aging organic components in SFP area Westinghouse documents EQ-QR-269, EQ-TP-354, WNA-TR-03149-G EN provide thermal and radiation aging program details for the SFPI components.

Westinghouse completed their thermal and radiation aging testing programs to qualify the SFPI components to 1.25 years. Exelon has reviewed the documents and found acceptable.

Additionally, Westinghouse is continuing their aging tests to age the system components to 10 years. These tests are projected to be completed towards end of Summer 2014. Final test reports are scheduled to be provided to Exelon by September 4, 2014. Exelon will complete the test report reviews by Page 21 of 30

Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFP LI August 28, 2014 September 30, 2014.

Seismic Category I Testing Seismic qualification testing performed by Westinghouse along with the technical evaluations performed by Westinghouse confirm that the SFPI meets the seismic requirements of NEI 12-02. Westinghouse's design and supporting analysis satisfies the Clinton Power Station installation requirements to withstand a SSE.

Vibration Justification As specified in RAI-2, components of the system i.e., bracket, transmitter enclosure, display enclosure, and readout display in the Auxiliary and Control Building, will be permanently installed to meet the requirements to withstand a SSE and will meet the Clinton Power Station seismic related installation requirements. Westinghouse has analyzed the pool side bracket to withstand design basis SSE. Other components of the SFPI were subjected to shock and vibration during the seismic testing and met the requirements necessary for mounted equipment.

Sloshing Justification The sloshing calculation developed by Westinghouse will be reviewed for a design basis seismic event for acceptability as part of Engineering Change 392333 preparation. Sloshing forces will be taken into consideration for the anchorage design of the pool side bracket to ensure the bracket is rigidly mounted to include sloshing affects.
