Request Please describe this system. If it is meant to be "From spent fuel pool special ventilation", please correct the drawing.
RAI 2.3.3.14-03
Background
For systems in scope of license renewal, Title 10 Part 54.4 states, in part, that:
(a) Plant systems, structures, and components 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 Part 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 of this chapter, as applicable.
Issue LR Drawing No. LR-39602-1 Rev. 2: In drawing coordinates D-2, the in service purge exhaust fan ES-46311 is shown out of scope for license renewal. This fan belongs to spent fuel pool special ventilation sub-system which is required to exhaust the air in the event of high radiation and also during a fuel handling accident. The remaining portions of this sub-system are shown as in scope in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
Request Provide justification for the exclusion of this fan from the scope of license renewal. If this fan is in the scope of license renewal, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a), and subject to an aging management review in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1), update the LRA by providing the applicable information in the appropriate LRA sections, tables, and drawings.

Background
- Title 10 Part 54.4 states, in part, that:
(a) Plant systems, structures, and components 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 Part 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 of this chapter, as applicable.
(2) All nonsafety-related systems, structures, and components whose failure could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the functions identified in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this section.
Issue: Vaneaxial and propeller fans can be subject to blade failure. These blades have the potential to become missiles that could impact equipment identified in 10 CFR 54.5(a)(1). Some facilities credit fan housings for vaneaxial or propeller fans as barriers for these missiles.
Request: 1.0 Are there any vaneaxial or propeller fans in containment, diesel rooms, screenhouse, or auxiliary building whose housing are relied upon as a barrier from fan blade missiles and are not classified as in scope? If so, please discuss why these fan housings should not be in scope for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2)?
