Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 54.4, "Scope," states, in part:(a) Plant systems, structures and components [SSCs] within the scope of this part are -(1) Safety-related systems, structures, and components which are those relied upon to remainfunctional during and following design-basis events (as defined in 10 CFR 50.49 (b)(1)) toensure the following functions -(i) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary;(ii) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdowncondition; or(iii) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which couldresult in potential offsite exposures comparable to those referred to in10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 50.67(b) (2), or 10 CFR 100.11, as applicable.Issue:During the on-site scoping and screening methodology audit, the staff determined that theapplicant had used a plant equipment database, which provides the component qualityclassification, as an information source used in identifying SSCs within the scope of licenserenewal. The plant equipment database uses the terms "safety-related" or "SR" to identifysafety-related SSCs. However, during the audit the staff determined that not all componentsidentified as safety-related in the plant equipment database were included within the scope oflicense renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).Request:The staff requests that the applicant perform a review of this issue and provide a description ofthe process used to evaluate components identified as safety-related in the plant equipmentdatabase and the basis for not including components identified as safety-related within thescope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1). Indicate if the review concludesthat use of the scoping methodology precluded the identification of SSCs that should haveincluded within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).Describe any additional scoping evaluations performed to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)criteria. List any additional SSCs included within the scope of license renewal as a result of thereview, and any structures and components (SCs) for which aging management reviews wereperformed.E1-1 of 11 TVA Response to RAI 2.1-1As described in the License Renewal Application (LRA) Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2, mechanicalcomponents identified as safety-related in the plant equipment database are included within thescope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1). These components are subjectto aging management review if they are not subject to replacement based on a qualified life orspecified time period, and they perform an intended function, as described in § 54.4, withoutmoving parts or without a change in configuration or properties.Although some structural components and many electrical components are identified in theplant equipment database as safety-related, neither structural nor electrical scoping andscreening use the plant equipment database. See LRA Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2.2 and 2.1.2.3 fordescriptions of structural and electrical scoping and screening.In response to the NRC request, mechanical components classified as safety-related in theplant equipment database but determined not to be subject to an aging management reviewwere re-evaluated.The process used in this re-evaluation was to confirm that these mechanical components areeither:(1) Subject to replacement based on a qualified life or specified time period,(2) Perform their intended function with moving parts or a change in configuration orproperties, or(3) Do not perform a safety function as defined in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).The review, following the process described above, confirmed that the mechanical componentsclassified as safety-related in the plant equipment database and determined not to be subject toaging management review are either being replaced based on a qualified life or specified timeperiod, perform their intended function with moving parts or a change in configuration orproperties. These components are conservatively classified as safety-related based onmanagement decision but have no safety function as defined in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)..The review concluded that the use of the scoping methodology did not preclude theidentification of systems, structures, or components (SSCs) that should have been includedwithin the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).No additional scoping evaluations were necessary to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) criteria, noadditional SSCs were included within the scope of license renewal as a result of this review andno additional aging management reviews were necessary.E1-2 of 11 NRC RAI 2.1-2
 
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 54.4, "Scope," states, in part: (a) Plant systems, structures and components  
[SSCs] within the scope of this part are -(1) Safety-related systems, structures, and components which are those relied upon to remain functional during and following design-basis events (as defined in 10 CFR 50.49 (b)(1)) to ensure the following functions  
-(i) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary;(ii) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; or (iii) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to those referred to in 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 50.67(b) (2), or 10 CFR 100.11, as applicable.
Issue: During the on-site scoping and screening methodology audit, the staff determined that the applicant had used a plant equipment database, which provides the component quality classification, as an information source used in identifying SSCs within the scope of license renewal. The plant equipment database uses the terms "safety-related" or "SR" to identify safety-related SSCs. However, during the audit the staff determined that not all components identified as safety-related in the plant equipment database were included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
Request: The staff requests that the applicant perform a review of this issue and provide a description of the process used to evaluate components identified as safety-related in the plant equipment database and the basis for not including components identified as safety-related within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
Indicate if the review concludes that use of the scoping methodology precluded the identification of SSCs that should have included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
Describe any additional scoping evaluations performed to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) criteria.
List any additional SSCs included within the scope of license renewal as a result of the review, and any structures and components (SCs) for which aging management reviews were performed.
E1-1 of 11 TVA Response to RAI 2.1-1 As described in the License Renewal Application (LRA) Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2, mechanical components identified as safety-related in the plant equipment database are included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
These components are subject to aging management review if they are not subject to replacement based on a qualified life or specified time period, and they perform an intended function, as described in § 54.4, without moving parts or without a change in configuration or properties.
Although some structural components and many electrical components are identified in the plant equipment database as safety-related, neither structural nor electrical scoping and screening use the plant equipment database.
See LRA Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2.2 and 2.1.2.3 for descriptions of structural and electrical scoping and screening.
In response to the NRC request, mechanical components classified as safety-related in the plant equipment database but determined not to be subject to an aging management review were re-evaluated.
The process used in this re-evaluation was to confirm that these mechanical components are either: (1) Subject to replacement based on a qualified life or specified time period, (2) Perform their intended function with moving parts or a change in configuration or properties, or (3) Do not perform a safety function as defined in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
The review, following the process described above, confirmed that the mechanical components classified as safety-related in the plant equipment database and determined not to be subject to aging management review are either being replaced based on a qualified life or specified time period, perform their intended function with moving parts or a change in configuration or properties.
These components are conservatively classified as safety-related based on management decision but have no safety function as defined in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)..
The review concluded that the use of the scoping methodology did not preclude the identification of systems, structures, or components (SSCs) that should have been included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
No additional scoping evaluations were necessary to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) criteria, no additional SSCs were included within the scope of license renewal as a result of this review and no additional aging management reviews were necessary.

10 CFR 54.4, "Scope," states, in part:(a) Plant systems, structures and components [SSCs] within the scope of this part are -(1) Safety-related systems, structures, and components which are those relied upon to remainfunctional during and following design-basis events (as defined in 10 CFR 50.49 (b)(1)) toensure the following functions -(i) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressureboundary;(ii) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdowncondition; or(iii) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which couldresult in potential offsite exposures comparable to those referred to in10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2), or 10 CFR 100.11, as applicable.License renewal application (LRA) Section 2.1.1.1, "Application of Safety-Related ScopingCriteria," states, in part:A [Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)] procedure provides the criteria and methodologyfor determining and evaluating the safety and quality classification of systems, structuresand components. The procedure defines safety-related or quality assurance categorySR as:Those structures systems and components which are important to safetybecause they perform a function necessary to ensure either:* The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary* The capability to shutdown the reactor and maintain it in a safe condition* The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of an incidentwhich could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to thosespecified in 10 CFR Part 100.Update final safety analysis report (UFSAR) Section 3.2.1, "Seismic Qualifications," states, inpart:The Sequoyah Nuclear Plant structures, systems, and components important to safetyhave been designed to remain functional in the event of a Safe Shutdown Earthquake(SSE). These structures, systems, and components, designated as Category I, arethose necessary to assure:1. The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.2. The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition3. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which couldresult in potential offsite exposures comparable to the guideline exposures of10 CFR Part 100.Issue:During the on-site scoping and screening methodology audit, the staff reviewed the definitionsof the term safety-related contained in the fleet procedures, the UFSAR and the LRA, used toidentify SSCs within the scope of license renewal. The staff determined that the LRASection 2.1.1.1 definition of safety-related is equivalent to the criteria in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) andthe UFSAR definition of the function of SSCs designated as Category /. However, during itsaudit, the staff determined that there were structures designated as Category I that were notincluded within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).EI-3 of 11 Request:The staff requests that the applicant perform a review of this issue and provide a description ofthe process used to evaluate structures identified as Category I and the basis for not includingthe structures within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).Indicate if the review concludes that use of the scoping methodology precluded the identificationof SSCs that should have included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with10 CFR 54.4(a)(1). Describe any additional scoping evaluations performed to address the10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) criteria. List any additional SSCs included within the scope of licenserenewal as a result of the review, and any SCs for which aging management reviews wereperformed.TVA Response to RAI 2.1-2In response to the NRC request, a review of UFSAR Section 3.8.4 and Table 3.2.1-1 wasperformed.UFSAR Section 3.8.4 and Table 3.2.1-1 lists Sequoyah Nuclear Station (SQN) Category Istructures. The process used in this review was a comparison of the structures in the UFSARsection and table to the structures included within the scope of license renewal in accordancewith 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) as shown in LRA Section 2.4. Differences were then reviewed todetermine if the basis for not including structures within the scope of license renewal inaccordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) was appropriate.The review identified the waste packaging area as a Category I structure that was not includedin the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1). The waste packaging area is listed asCategory I in the UFSAR but is not identified in the scope of license renewal for10 CFR 54.4(a)(1); however, it is included for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) as indicated in LRASection 2.4.3. The waste packaging area is an area for receiving and sorting dry active waste.There are no systems or components that are in the scope of license renewal for10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) located within the waste packaging area structure. The structure's onlylicense renewal intended function is to maintain structural integrity such that its failure could notimpact the auxiliary building and condensate demineralizer waste evaporator building in amanner that could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the functions identified inparagraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), or (iii) of 10 CFR 54. This review confirmed the acceptability of thebasis for not including the waste packaging area within the scope of license renewal inaccordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).This review also identified that the Condenser Cooling Water (CCW) pumping station intakechannel forebay side slopes were not included in the scope of license renewal in accordancewith 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(1) in the Sequoyah LRA. As discussed in LRA Section 2.4.2, the CCWpumping station intake channel was designed with Category I side slopes in the forebay area.As discussed in UFSAR Section 2.4A.2.2 the forebay area of the CCW pumping station intakechannel is relied upon to retain a source of water to supply two steam generators in each unitfor decay heat removal and provide spent fuel pit with evaporation makeup flow during designbasis flood events. Therefore, the forebay area of the CCW pumping station intake channel hasa 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) function that should have been indicated, in addition to 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3),as the basis for its inclusion in the scope of license renewal.A review of this issue concluded that use of the scoping methodology described in LRASection 2.1.1 provided the proper identification of SSCs within the scope of license renewal inaccordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) with the single exception of the CCW pumping station intakechannel forebay discussed above.E1-4 of 11 The review evaluated the entire Category I structures listed in UFSAR Section 3.8.4 andTable 3.2.1-1. Therefore, no additional scoping evaluations are necessary to address the10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) criteria for SQN structures. No non-safety-related SSCs were identifiedwhose failure could affect the CCW pumping station intake channel forebay in a manner thatcould prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the safety functions identified in 10CFR 54.4(a)(1). No additional SSCs were included within the scope of license renewal as aresult of the review.The LRA sections are revised as shown below. Additions are underlined and deletions areshown with strikethrough.E1-5 of 11 LRA SECTION 2.4.2 CHANGES2.4.2 Water Control StructuresCCW Pumping Station Intake ChannelThe purpose of the CCW pumping station intake channel is to provide a source of waterrequired for the Commission's regulated event fire protection (10 CFR 50.48), provide a sourceof water for two steam generators in each unit for decay heat removal and provide a source ofmake-up water for the spent fuel pits if spent fuel pit water is lost during a design basis event.The CCW pumping station intake channel is located on the north side of the main plant area.The CCW pumping station intake channel is an excavated channel that consists of an approachchannel and the forebay for water retention that extends from the CCW pumping station andprovides a conveyance path of raw water from the ultimate heat sink, the Tennessee River (alsoknown as the Chickamauga Reservoir). Parts of the side slope for the approach channel andthe entire forebay area were constructed with sloped embankments. The slopes are protectedfrom wind-wave activity with riprap. Sloped rock walls form the side slopes of the excavatedforebay area approach projecting in front of the CCW pumping station. The rock wallsside slopes of the forebay area approach channel are covered with a 12-inch-minimumthickness of concrete to prevent possible erosion of material from joints in the rock due to waveaction of water in the intake channel. The intake channel provides cooling water for thecondensers, raw cooling water system and the fire/flood mode pumps of the HPFP system.The slopes of the approach channel prior to entering the forebay area of the CCW pumpingstation intake channel approach channel slope' are not designed as Category I slopes. Theside slopes in the forebay area are Category I slopes and are constructed to remain stable forthe most critical design conditions. The intake channel is relied upon to provide a source ofwater supply for equipment credited in the Appendix R safe shutdown analysis and for fireprotection (10 CFR 50.48) equipment which is housed in the CCW pumping station. Theforebay area of the CCW pumping station intake channel is relied upon to supply a source ofwater for two steam generators in each unit for decay heat removal and make-up water for thespent fuel Dits which is a 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) function.The CCW pumping sta;tinin chanRel har no intend f f 10 R -M(M()The CCW pumping station intake channel has the following intended functions for10 CFR 54.4(a)M1kay(2} and (a)(3).Provide physical support, shelter, and protection for systems, structures, and components reliedupon to remain functional during and following a design basis event (forebay area of the CCWpumping station intake channel only). 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)Pra'.ide physical su1pport, shelter, and protection forF nonsafoty related systems, structur~es, and1components Whose failure cou1ld preVent satisfactory accomAplishment of function(s) identifiedfo10 CFR 64.41(a)(1). 10 CER 54.4(a)(2)Provide physical support, shelter, and protection for systems, structures, and components reliedupon in safety analyses or plant evaluations to perform a function that demonstrates compliancewith the Commission's regulation for fire protection 10 CFR 50.48, and 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3).The CCW pumping station intake channel has no intended functions for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).E1-6 of 11 NRC RAI 2.1-3Backqround10 CFR 54.4, "Scope," states, in part:(a) Plant systems, structures and components [SSCs] within the scope of this part are -(1) Safety-related systems, structures, and components which are those relied upon to remainfunctional during and following design basis events (as defined in 10 CFR 50.49 (b)(1)) toensure the following functions -(i) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary;(ii) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdowncondition; or(iii) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which couldresult in potential offsite exposures comparable to those referred to in10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2), or 10 CFR 100.11, as applicable.(2) All nonsafety-related systems, structures and components whose failure could preventsatisfactory accomplishment of any of the functions identified in (a)(1)(i), (ii), or (iii) of thissection.IssueDuring the on-site scoping and screening methodology audit the staff reviewed the licenserenewal application, license renewal implementing documents, as-built drawings, and currentlicensing basis documentation. The staff determined that the service building that isimmediately adjacent to the control building (within the scope of license renewal in accordancewith 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)), is not included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).During the audit the applicant indicated that the determination to not include the service buildingwithin the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) was based on ananalysis that demonstrated that the service building would not impact the control building duringor following design bases events. However, the applicant did not provide information thatdemonstrated that the service building would not be subject to the effects of aging similar toother buildings of the same construction that the applicant had included within the scope oflicense renewal and made subject to an aging management program.Request:The staff requests that the applicant provide a technical basis for not including the servicebuilding, which is located adjacent to the control building (within the scope of license renewal inaccordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)), within the scope of license renewal in accordance with10 CFR 54.4(a)(2). If an analysis is cited as the technical basis for not including the servicebuilding within the scope of license renewal, demonstrate how the analysis considers the effectsof aging relative to other buildings of similar construction that are included within the scope oflicense renewal. The staff requests that the applicant perform a review of this issue andindicate if the review concludes that use of the scoping methodology precluded the identificationof SSCs that should have included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with10 CFR 54.4(a)(2). Describe any additional scoping evaluations performed to address the10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) criteria. List any additional SSCs included within the scope of licenserenewal as a result of the review, SCs for which aging management reviews were performed.E1-7 of 11 TVA Response to RAI 2.1-3The SQN service building is a non-Category I structure located adjacent to but separate fromthe SQN Unit 1 turbine, auxiliary and control buildings. The service building is constructed ofreinforced concrete and structural steel framing with a built- up roofing membrane on metal roofdecking. The interior walls are constructed of reinforced concrete or concrete masonry block.The building was designed in accordance with SQN design criteria and uniform building code.To ensure that the effects of aging do not affect its structural integrity, the LRA will be revised toinclude the service building within the scope of License Renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) andsubject to aging management review (AMR). No analysis is credited as the technical basis fornot including the service building within the scope of license renewal.In response to the NRC request, a confirmatory review of SQN structures was performed withrespect to this issue. This review identified no other structures that were omitted from the scopeof license renewal that should have been included in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).As a result of this review, no additional scoping evaluations were necessary to address the10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) criteria and no additional SSCs were included within the scope of licenserenewal for which aging management reviews were performed.The LRA sections are revised as shown below.

[SSCs] within the scope of this part are -(1) Safety-related systems, structures, and components which are those relied upon to remain functional during and following design-basis events (as defined in 10 CFR 50.49 (b)(1)) to ensure the following functions  
-(i) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressureboundary;(ii) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; or (iii) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to those referred to in 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2), or 10 CFR 100.11, as applicable.
License renewal application (LRA) Section 2.1.1.1, "Application of Safety-Related Scoping Criteria," states, in part: A [Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)] procedure provides the criteria and methodology for determining and evaluating the safety and quality classification of systems, structures and components.
The procedure defines safety-related or quality assurance category SR as: Those structures systems and components which are important to safety because they perform a function necessary to ensure either:* The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary* The capability to shutdown the reactor and maintain it in a safe condition* The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of an incident which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to those specified in 10 CFR Part 100.Update final safety analysis report (UFSAR) Section 3.2.1, "Seismic Qualifications," states, in part: The Sequoyah Nuclear Plant structures, systems, and components important to safety have been designed to remain functional in the event of a Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE). These structures, systems, and components, designated as Category I, are those necessary to assure: 1. The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.2. The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition 3. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to the guideline exposures of 10 CFR Part 100.Issue: During the on-site scoping and screening methodology audit, the staff reviewed the definitions of the term safety-related contained in the fleet procedures, the UFSAR and the LRA, used to identify SSCs within the scope of license renewal. The staff determined that the LRA Section 2.1.1.1 definition of safety-related is equivalent to the criteria in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) and the UFSAR definition of the function of SSCs designated as Category /. However, during its audit, the staff determined that there were structures designated as Category I that were not included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
EI-3 of 11 Request: The staff requests that the applicant perform a review of this issue and provide a description of the process used to evaluate structures identified as Category I and the basis for not including the structures within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
Indicate if the review concludes that use of the scoping methodology precluded the identification of SSCs that should have included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
Describe any additional scoping evaluations performed to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) criteria.
List any additional SSCs included within the scope of license renewal as a result of the review, and any SCs for which aging management reviews were performed.
TVA Response to RAI 2.1-2 In response to the NRC request, a review of UFSAR Section 3.8.4 and Table 3.2.1-1 was performed.
UFSAR Section 3.8.4 and Table 3.2.1-1 lists Sequoyah Nuclear Station (SQN) Category I structures.
The process used in this review was a comparison of the structures in the UFSAR section and table to the structures included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) as shown in LRA Section 2.4. Differences were then reviewed to determine if the basis for not including structures within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) was appropriate.
The review identified the waste packaging area as a Category I structure that was not included in the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
The waste packaging area is listed as Category I in the UFSAR but is not identified in the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1);
however, it is included for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) as indicated in LRA Section 2.4.3. The waste packaging area is an area for receiving and sorting dry active waste.There are no systems or components that are in the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) located within the waste packaging area structure.
The structure's only license renewal intended function is to maintain structural integrity such that its failure could not impact the auxiliary building and condensate demineralizer waste evaporator building in a manner that could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the functions identified in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), or (iii) of 10 CFR 54. This review confirmed the acceptability of the basis for not including the waste packaging area within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
This review also identified that the Condenser Cooling Water (CCW) pumping station intake channel forebay side slopes were not included in the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(1) in the Sequoyah LRA. As discussed in LRA Section 2.4.2, the CCW pumping station intake channel was designed with Category I side slopes in the forebay area.As discussed in UFSAR Section 2.4A.2.2 the forebay area of the CCW pumping station intake channel is relied upon to retain a source of water to supply two steam generators in each unit for decay heat removal and provide spent fuel pit with evaporation makeup flow during design basis flood events. Therefore, the forebay area of the CCW pumping station intake channel has a 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) function that should have been indicated, in addition to 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3), as the basis for its inclusion in the scope of license renewal.A review of this issue concluded that use of the scoping methodology described in LRA Section 2.1.1 provided the proper identification of SSCs within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) with the single exception of the CCW pumping station intake channel forebay discussed above.E1-4 of 11 The review evaluated the entire Category I structures listed in UFSAR Section 3.8.4 and Table 3.2.1-1. Therefore, no additional scoping evaluations are necessary to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) criteria for SQN structures.
No non-safety-related SSCs were identified whose failure could affect the CCW pumping station intake channel forebay in a manner that could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the safety functions identified in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
No additional SSCs were included within the scope of license renewal as a result of the review.The LRA sections are revised as shown below. Additions are underlined and deletions are shown with strikethrough.
E1-5 of 11 LRA SECTION 2.4.2 CHANGES 2.4.2 Water Control Structures CCW Pumping Station Intake Channel The purpose of the CCW pumping station intake channel is to provide a source of water required for the Commission's regulated event fire protection (10 CFR 50.48), provide a source of water for two steam generators in each unit for decay heat removal and provide a source of make-up water for the spent fuel pits if spent fuel pit water is lost during a design basis event.The CCW pumping station intake channel is located on the north side of the main plant area.The CCW pumping station intake channel is an excavated channel that consists of an approach channel and the forebay for water retention that extends from the CCW pumping station and provides a conveyance path of raw water from the ultimate heat sink, the Tennessee River (also known as the Chickamauga Reservoir).
Parts of the side slope for the approach channel and the entire forebay area were constructed with sloped embankments.
The slopes are protected from wind-wave activity with riprap. Sloped rock walls form the side slopes of the excavated forebay area approach projecting in front of the CCW pumping station. The rock walls side slopes of the forebay area approach channel are covered with a 12-inch-minimum thickness of concrete to prevent possible erosion of material from joints in the rock due to wave action of water in the intake channel. The intake channel provides cooling water for the condensers, raw cooling water system and the fire/flood mode pumps of the HPFP system.The slopes of the approach channel prior to entering the forebay area of the CCW pumping station intake channel approach channel slope' are not designed as Category I slopes. The side slopes in the forebay area are Category I slopes and are constructed to remain stable for the most critical design conditions.
The intake channel is relied upon to provide a source of water supply for equipment credited in the Appendix R safe shutdown analysis and for fire protection (10 CFR 50.48) equipment which is housed in the CCW pumping station. The forebay area of the CCW pumping station intake channel is relied upon to supply a source of water for two steam generators in each unit for decay heat removal and make-up water for the spent fuel Dits which is a 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) function.The CCW pumping sta;tinin chanRel har no intend f f 10 R -M(M()The CCW pumping station intake channel has the following intended functions for 10 CFR 54.4(a)M1kay(2}

E1-6 of 11 NRC RAI 2.1-3 Backqround 10 CFR 54.4, "Scope," states, in part: (a) Plant systems, structures and components  
[SSCs] within the scope of this part are -(1) Safety-related systems, structures, and components which are those relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events (as defined in 10 CFR 50.49 (b)(1)) to ensure the following functions  
-(i) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary;(ii) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; or (iii) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to those referred to in 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2), or 10 CFR 100.11, as applicable.
(2) All nonsafety-related systems, structures and components whose failure could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the functions identified in (a)(1)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this section.Issue During the on-site scoping and screening methodology audit the staff reviewed the license renewal application, license renewal implementing documents, as-built drawings, and current licensing basis documentation.
The staff determined that the service building that is immediately adjacent to the control building (within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)), is not included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).
During the audit the applicant indicated that the determination to not include the service building within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) was based on an analysis that demonstrated that the service building would not impact the control building during or following design bases events. However, the applicant did not provide information that demonstrated that the service building would not be subject to the effects of aging similar to other buildings of the same construction that the applicant had included within the scope of license renewal and made subject to an aging management program.Request: The staff requests that the applicant provide a technical basis for not including the service building, which is located adjacent to the control building (within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)), within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).
If an analysis is cited as the technical basis for not including the service building within the scope of license renewal, demonstrate how the analysis considers the effects of aging relative to other buildings of similar construction that are included within the scope of license renewal. The staff requests that the applicant perform a review of this issue and indicate if the review concludes that use of the scoping methodology precluded the identification of SSCs that should have included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).
Describe any additional scoping evaluations performed to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) criteria.
List any additional SSCs included within the scope of license renewal as a result of the review, SCs for which aging management reviews were performed.
E1-7 of 11 TVA Response to RAI 2.1-3 The SQN service building is a non-Category I structure located adjacent to but separate from the SQN Unit 1 turbine, auxiliary and control buildings.
The service building is constructed of reinforced concrete and structural steel framing with a built- up roofing membrane on metal roof decking. The interior walls are constructed of reinforced concrete or concrete masonry block.The building was designed in accordance with SQN design criteria and uniform building code.To ensure that the effects of aging do not affect its structural integrity, the LRA will be revised to include the service building within the scope of License Renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) and subject to aging management review (AMR). No analysis is credited as the technical basis for not including the service building within the scope of license renewal.In response to the NRC request, a confirmatory review of SQN structures was performed with respect to this issue. This review identified no other structures that were omitted from the scope of license renewal that should have been included in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).
As a result of this review, no additional scoping evaluations were necessary to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) criteria and no additional SSCs were included within the scope of license renewal for which aging management reviews were performed.

Background:

Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 54.4, "Scope," states, in part: (a) Plant systems, structures and components

[SSCs] within the scope of this part are -(1) Safety-related systems, structures, and components which are those relied upon to remain functional during and following design-basis events (as defined in 10 CFR 50.49 (b)(1)) to ensure the following functions

-(i) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary;(ii) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; or (iii) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to those referred to in 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 50.67(b) (2), or 10 CFR 100.11, as applicable.

Issue: During the on-site scoping and screening methodology audit, the staff determined that the applicant had used a plant equipment database, which provides the component quality classification, as an information source used in identifying SSCs within the scope of license renewal. The plant equipment database uses the terms "safety-related" or "SR" to identify safety-related SSCs. However, during the audit the staff determined that not all components identified as safety-related in the plant equipment database were included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

Request: The staff requests that the applicant perform a review of this issue and provide a description of the process used to evaluate components identified as safety-related in the plant equipment database and the basis for not including components identified as safety-related within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

Indicate if the review concludes that use of the scoping methodology precluded the identification of SSCs that should have included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

Describe any additional scoping evaluations performed to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) criteria.

List any additional SSCs included within the scope of license renewal as a result of the review, and any structures and components (SCs) for which aging management reviews were performed.

E1-1 of 11 TVA Response to RAI 2.1-1 As described in the License Renewal Application (LRA) Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2, mechanical components identified as safety-related in the plant equipment database are included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

These components are subject to aging management review if they are not subject to replacement based on a qualified life or specified time period, and they perform an intended function, as described in § 54.4, without moving parts or without a change in configuration or properties.

Although some structural components and many electrical components are identified in the plant equipment database as safety-related, neither structural nor electrical scoping and screening use the plant equipment database.

See LRA Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2.2 and 2.1.2.3 for descriptions of structural and electrical scoping and screening.

In response to the NRC request, mechanical components classified as safety-related in the plant equipment database but determined not to be subject to an aging management review were re-evaluated.

The process used in this re-evaluation was to confirm that these mechanical components are either: (1) Subject to replacement based on a qualified life or specified time period, (2) Perform their intended function with moving parts or a change in configuration or properties, or (3) Do not perform a safety function as defined in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

The review, following the process described above, confirmed that the mechanical components classified as safety-related in the plant equipment database and determined not to be subject to aging management review are either being replaced based on a qualified life or specified time period, perform their intended function with moving parts or a change in configuration or properties.

These components are conservatively classified as safety-related based on management decision but have no safety function as defined in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)..

The review concluded that the use of the scoping methodology did not preclude the identification of systems, structures, or components (SSCs) that should have been included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

No additional scoping evaluations were necessary to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) criteria, no additional SSCs were included within the scope of license renewal as a result of this review and no additional aging management reviews were necessary.

E1-2 of 11 NRC RAI 2.1-2

Background:

10 CFR 54.4, "Scope," states, in part: (a) Plant systems, structures and components

[SSCs] within the scope of this part are -(1) Safety-related systems, structures, and components which are those relied upon to remain functional during and following design-basis events (as defined in 10 CFR 50.49 (b)(1)) to ensure the following functions

-(i) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressureboundary;(ii) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; or (iii) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to those referred to in 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2), or 10 CFR 100.11, as applicable.

License renewal application (LRA) Section 2.1.1.1, "Application of Safety-Related Scoping Criteria," states, in part: A [Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)] procedure provides the criteria and methodology for determining and evaluating the safety and quality classification of systems, structures and components.

The procedure defines safety-related or quality assurance category SR as: Those structures systems and components which are important to safety because they perform a function necessary to ensure either:* The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary* The capability to shutdown the reactor and maintain it in a safe condition* The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of an incident which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to those specified in 10 CFR Part 100.Update final safety analysis report (UFSAR) Section 3.2.1, "Seismic Qualifications," states, in part: The Sequoyah Nuclear Plant structures, systems, and components important to safety have been designed to remain functional in the event of a Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE). These structures, systems, and components, designated as Category I, are those necessary to assure: 1. The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.2. The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition 3. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to the guideline exposures of 10 CFR Part 100.Issue: During the on-site scoping and screening methodology audit, the staff reviewed the definitions of the term safety-related contained in the fleet procedures, the UFSAR and the LRA, used to identify SSCs within the scope of license renewal. The staff determined that the LRA Section 2.1.1.1 definition of safety-related is equivalent to the criteria in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) and the UFSAR definition of the function of SSCs designated as Category /. However, during its audit, the staff determined that there were structures designated as Category I that were not included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

EI-3 of 11 Request: The staff requests that the applicant perform a review of this issue and provide a description of the process used to evaluate structures identified as Category I and the basis for not including the structures within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

Indicate if the review concludes that use of the scoping methodology precluded the identification of SSCs that should have included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

Describe any additional scoping evaluations performed to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) criteria.

List any additional SSCs included within the scope of license renewal as a result of the review, and any SCs for which aging management reviews were performed.

TVA Response to RAI 2.1-2 In response to the NRC request, a review of UFSAR Section 3.8.4 and Table 3.2.1-1 was performed.

UFSAR Section 3.8.4 and Table 3.2.1-1 lists Sequoyah Nuclear Station (SQN) Category I structures.

The process used in this review was a comparison of the structures in the UFSAR section and table to the structures included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) as shown in LRA Section 2.4. Differences were then reviewed to determine if the basis for not including structures within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) was appropriate.

The review identified the waste packaging area as a Category I structure that was not included in the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

The waste packaging area is listed as Category I in the UFSAR but is not identified in the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1);

however, it is included for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) as indicated in LRA Section 2.4.3. The waste packaging area is an area for receiving and sorting dry active waste.There are no systems or components that are in the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) located within the waste packaging area structure.

The structure's only license renewal intended function is to maintain structural integrity such that its failure could not impact the auxiliary building and condensate demineralizer waste evaporator building in a manner that could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the functions identified in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), or (iii) of 10 CFR 54. This review confirmed the acceptability of the basis for not including the waste packaging area within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

This review also identified that the Condenser Cooling Water (CCW) pumping station intake channel forebay side slopes were not included in the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(1) in the Sequoyah LRA. As discussed in LRA Section 2.4.2, the CCW pumping station intake channel was designed with Category I side slopes in the forebay area.As discussed in UFSAR Section 2.4A.2.2 the forebay area of the CCW pumping station intake channel is relied upon to retain a source of water to supply two steam generators in each unit for decay heat removal and provide spent fuel pit with evaporation makeup flow during design basis flood events. Therefore, the forebay area of the CCW pumping station intake channel has a 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) function that should have been indicated, in addition to 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3), as the basis for its inclusion in the scope of license renewal.A review of this issue concluded that use of the scoping methodology described in LRA Section 2.1.1 provided the proper identification of SSCs within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) with the single exception of the CCW pumping station intake channel forebay discussed above.E1-4 of 11 The review evaluated the entire Category I structures listed in UFSAR Section 3.8.4 and Table 3.2.1-1. Therefore, no additional scoping evaluations are necessary to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) criteria for SQN structures.

No non-safety-related SSCs were identified whose failure could affect the CCW pumping station intake channel forebay in a manner that could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the safety functions identified in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).

No additional SSCs were included within the scope of license renewal as a result of the review.The LRA sections are revised as shown below. Additions are underlined and deletions are shown with strikethrough.

E1-5 of 11 LRA SECTION 2.4.2 CHANGES 2.4.2 Water Control Structures CCW Pumping Station Intake Channel The purpose of the CCW pumping station intake channel is to provide a source of water required for the Commission's regulated event fire protection (10 CFR 50.48), provide a source of water for two steam generators in each unit for decay heat removal and provide a source of make-up water for the spent fuel pits if spent fuel pit water is lost during a design basis event.The CCW pumping station intake channel is located on the north side of the main plant area.The CCW pumping station intake channel is an excavated channel that consists of an approach channel and the forebay for water retention that extends from the CCW pumping station and provides a conveyance path of raw water from the ultimate heat sink, the Tennessee River (also known as the Chickamauga Reservoir).

Parts of the side slope for the approach channel and the entire forebay area were constructed with sloped embankments.

The slopes are protected from wind-wave activity with riprap. Sloped rock walls form the side slopes of the excavated forebay area approach projecting in front of the CCW pumping station. The rock walls side slopes of the forebay area approach channel are covered with a 12-inch-minimum thickness of concrete to prevent possible erosion of material from joints in the rock due to wave action of water in the intake channel. The intake channel provides cooling water for the condensers, raw cooling water system and the fire/flood mode pumps of the HPFP system.The slopes of the approach channel prior to entering the forebay area of the CCW pumping station intake channel approach channel slope' are not designed as Category I slopes. The side slopes in the forebay area are Category I slopes and are constructed to remain stable for the most critical design conditions.

The intake channel is relied upon to provide a source of water supply for equipment credited in the Appendix R safe shutdown analysis and for fire protection (10 CFR 50.48) equipment which is housed in the CCW pumping station. The forebay area of the CCW pumping station intake channel is relied upon to supply a source of water for two steam generators in each unit for decay heat removal and make-up water for the spent fuel Dits which is a 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) function.The CCW pumping sta;tinin chanRel har no intend f f 10 R -M(M()The CCW pumping station intake channel has the following intended functions for 10 CFR 54.4(a)M1kay(2}

The CCW pumping station intake channel has no intended functions for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).

E1-6 of 11 NRC RAI 2.1-3 Backqround 10 CFR 54.4, "Scope," states, in part: (a) Plant systems, structures and components

[SSCs] within the scope of this part are -(1) Safety-related systems, structures, and components which are those relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events (as defined in 10 CFR 50.49 (b)(1)) to ensure the following functions

-(i) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary;(ii) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; or (iii) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to those referred to in 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1), 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2), or 10 CFR 100.11, as applicable.

(2) All nonsafety-related systems, structures and components whose failure could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the functions identified in (a)(1)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this section.Issue During the on-site scoping and screening methodology audit the staff reviewed the license renewal application, license renewal implementing documents, as-built drawings, and current licensing basis documentation.

The staff determined that the service building that is immediately adjacent to the control building (within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)), is not included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).

During the audit the applicant indicated that the determination to not include the service building within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) was based on an analysis that demonstrated that the service building would not impact the control building during or following design bases events. However, the applicant did not provide information that demonstrated that the service building would not be subject to the effects of aging similar to other buildings of the same construction that the applicant had included within the scope of license renewal and made subject to an aging management program.Request: The staff requests that the applicant provide a technical basis for not including the service building, which is located adjacent to the control building (within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)), within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).

If an analysis is cited as the technical basis for not including the service building within the scope of license renewal, demonstrate how the analysis considers the effects of aging relative to other buildings of similar construction that are included within the scope of license renewal. The staff requests that the applicant perform a review of this issue and indicate if the review concludes that use of the scoping methodology precluded the identification of SSCs that should have included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).

Describe any additional scoping evaluations performed to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) criteria.

List any additional SSCs included within the scope of license renewal as a result of the review, SCs for which aging management reviews were performed.

E1-7 of 11 TVA Response to RAI 2.1-3 The SQN service building is a non-Category I structure located adjacent to but separate from the SQN Unit 1 turbine, auxiliary and control buildings.

The service building is constructed of reinforced concrete and structural steel framing with a built- up roofing membrane on metal roof decking. The interior walls are constructed of reinforced concrete or concrete masonry block.The building was designed in accordance with SQN design criteria and uniform building code.To ensure that the effects of aging do not affect its structural integrity, the LRA will be revised to include the service building within the scope of License Renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) and subject to aging management review (AMR). No analysis is credited as the technical basis for not including the service building within the scope of license renewal.In response to the NRC request, a confirmatory review of SQN structures was performed with respect to this issue. This review identified no other structures that were omitted from the scope of license renewal that should have been included in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).

As a result of this review, no additional scoping evaluations were necessary to address the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) criteria and no additional SSCs were included within the scope of license renewal for which aging management reviews were performed.
