Background===

By letter dated September 30, 2010, the applic ant responded to follow-up RAI B2.1.32-1 regarding the Structures Monitoring Program acceptance criteria. In the response, the applicant stated that prior to the period of extended operation, the acceptance criteria for concrete structural elements for sa fety-related structures will be revised to incorporate the quantitativ e evaluation criteria provided in ACI 349.3R.

Issue: The qualitative acceptance criteria should apply to all concrete elements within the scope of the Structures Monitoring Program; however, the applicant's response only addresses safety-related structures. In addition, the response makes no mention of conducting a baseline inspection with qualitativ e acceptance criteria. In order to properly monitor and trend structural degradation during the period of extended operation, a baseline inspection in accor dance with ACI 349.3R acceptance criteria, must be completed prior to t he period of extended operation.

Request: 1) Update the acceptance criteria for all in-scope concrete elements or justify why it is not needed.

2) Provide plans and a schedule to conduct a baseline inspection in accordance with the ACI 349.3R acceptance criteria prior to the peri od of extended operation, or justify why a baseline inspection is not needed.

In the response, PG&E stated that prior to the per iod of extended operation, the acceptance criteria for concrete structural elements for safety-related structures will be revised to

incorporate the quantitative evaluation criteria provided in American Concrete Institute (ACI ) 349.3R.

In response to RAI B2.1.32-1 (follow-up), prior to the period of extended operation, the acceptance criteria for conc rete structural elements provided in the implementing procedures for the Structur es Monitoring Program for both safety and non-safety related structures, will be re vised to incorporate the quantitative Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-10-162 Page 2 of 2

evaluation criteria provided in ACI 349.3R , Evaluation of Existing Nuclear Safety Related Concrete Structures , Chapter 5, Evaluation Criteria. See amended LRA Table A4-1 in Enclosure 2.

2) PG&E will conduct a baseline inspection of all safety and non-safety related structures' concrete elements (in the scope of the Structures Monitoring Program) in accordance to ACI 349.3R acc eptance criteria prior to entering the period of extended operation. See amended LRA Table A4-1 in Enclosure 2.
