NPPD Response:
I1. As noted in the request and the CNS LRA page B- 10, the CNS service level I coating program is not credited for aging management and the CNS Containment Inservice Inspection Program is not comparable to recommendations of the NUREG-1801, XI.S8 program. The CNS Containment Inservice Inspection Program, as described in LRA Section B.1.10, meets the recommendations of the NUREG-1801, XI.S1 program for managing the effects of aging on the drywell shell. As described in response 2 below, the CNS service level I coating program maintains and controls drywell shell coating.
However, as part of the CNS Containment Inservice Inspection Program, the coating areas showing signs of degradation (flaking, blistering, peeling, discoloration, and other signs of distress) are also reported to the coating engineer for review and evaluation under the service level I coating program.
- 2. The CNS service level I coating program provides specific instructions for maintenance of safety-related coatings applied to concrete and steel surfaces within the drywell and torus. It addresses the surface preparation, approved coating material, coating application, qualification of personnel, and coating inspection requirements for repair or replacement of existing coatings within the drywell and torus. The program also applies to coatings on surfaces that will be installed within the drywell and torus.
a) In response to NRC Bulletin 96-03 dated May 6, 1996, "Potential Plugging of Emergency Core Cooling Suction Strainers by Debris in Boiling-Water Reactors,"
CNS implemented the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) suction strainer modification. The modification increased~the strainer surface by installing large capacity passive strainers thus ensuring that the resulting debris loading will not result in the available net positive suction head pressure falling below that required for ECCS pump operation during a postulated loss of coolant accident.
The CNS response to NRC Bulletin 96-03 was audited by the NRC and found satisfactory (Ref. letter from Mr. David L. Wigginton to Mr. G.R. Horn, dated December 17, 1998).
To minimize potential sump debris, the proper maintenance of the protective coatings in containment is controlled under the CNS service level I coating program. The program, required by 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants," addresses application,
NLS2009085 Page 3 of 3 maintenance, and inspection of the service level I coatings in the containment, and will remain applicable during the period of extended operation. The program ensures that service level I coating is applied and maintained such that the coating will not become detached creating potential debris. This is accomplished by proper surface preparation, selection of proper coating, use of properly trained applicators, adequate cure time, and inspections by trained, qualified individuals.

b) The CNS service level I containment coating is inspected each refueling outage to ensure the coatings remain intact and do not become potential debris sources.
