This is a one-time deferral.The inspection of the A train RN Pump Pit is due 07/07/2014.
 
This inspection was scheduled for March of 2014 but could not be performed due to issues with providing adequate isolation of the pit. In order to minimize safety system unavailability, this inspection will be performed during scheduled valve maintenance which will require A train of RN to be removed from service.The most recent A train pit inspection was performed during refueling outage 1EOC17, October, 2010. No structural issues were identified with the condition of the pit and associated structures, as documented in the work order completion comments.The A and B train pits are operated in the same manner. Therefore, the condition of the B train pit is considered to be indicative of the condition of the A pit.The latest inspection of the B pit was performed in February, 2012. The results of that inspection concluded that no structural issues were present with respect to concrete, structural steel or the intake screens. As noted in the Corrective Action Program, the pit was in very good condition (C-12-1403).

This is a one-time deferral.

005 last RN intake and Train B pump pit inspection conducted on 4/24/02. The inspection of the A train RN Pump Pit is due 07/07/2014. This inspection was scheduled for March of 2014 but could not be performed due to issues with providing adequate isolation of the pit. In order to minimize safety system unavailability, this inspection will be performed during scheduled valve maintenance which will require A train of RN to be removed from service.

The most recent A train pit inspection was performed during refueling outage 1EOC17, October, 2010. No structural issues were identified with the condition of the pit and associated structures, as documented in the work order completion comments.

The A and B train pits are operated in the same manner. Therefore, the condition of the B train pit is considered to be indicative of the condition of the A pit.

The latest inspection of the B pit was performed in February, 2012. The results of that inspection concluded that no structural issues were present with respect to concrete, structural steel or the intake screens. As noted in the Corrective Action Program, the pit was in very good condition (C-12-1403). This indicates the A pit is also in a similar Page 1

Therefore, deferring the next committed A train pump pit inspection by four months (11/30/14) to minimize safety system unavailability will not result in any potential challenge of the A train of the RN system from being capable of meeting its design basis requirements.
