Question is withdrawn.D-RAI 2.3.3.15-3LRA Drawing LR-JC-19629, Sheet 1 shows CO 2 bottles for the Turbine Exciter CO 2 system andthe Turbine Bearing #10 CO 2 system as in scope and subject to an AMR. Verify that this is acorrect designation for these bottles versus periodic replacement and not long lived and not subject to an AMR.Discussion: Table 3.3.21-15 shows subject to AMR. Question is withdrawn.D-RAI 2.3.3.15-4LRA drawing LR-JC-19629, Sheet 2 shows Halon bottles for the 480V Switchgear Room HalonSystem 1301 System, the Control Room Halon System A&B Series 600, Control Room Halon System C Series 70, and the Battery Room A&B Halon System Series as in scope and subject to an AMR.
