Since the volumetric inspections were added to the Structures Monitoring and ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF Programs, why are there no aging management review (AMR) items for high-strength bolts that state that those programs will be used to manage cracking? STPNOC stated that the high-strength bolts being managed by the Structures Monitoring and ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF Programs were included in the AMR items for the structural supports and were not specifically called out in separate AMR items in the LRA. STPNOC also stated that the Bolting Integrity Program basis document was updated to point to the Structures Monitoring and ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF Programs for performance of the volumetric inspections to account for the high-strength steel bolting AMR items that state the Bolting Integrity Program will manage cracking. The staff asked what the frequency is for the volumetric inspections that were added to the Structures Monitoring and ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF Programs. STPNOC stated that the volumetric inspection frequencies are consistent with the other inspections in the respective programs.
