RAI 3.5.2.3.5-01

Background

In license renewal application (LRA) Table 3.5.2-5, the applicant stated that fiberglass doors exposed to indoor or outdoor air have no aging effect requiring management. The applicant cited generic note F for the AMR items, indicating that the material is not evaluated in the Generic Aging Lessons Learned Report for this component. The applicant also cited a plant-specific note for these items stating, "Based on plant operating experience, there are no aging effects requiring management for this material and environment combination."

Issue: Aging of fiberglass reinforced plastics, such as fiberglass doors, could occur when they are exposed to environmental conditions such as rain, sunlight, indoor UV lighting, ozone, and exposure to the atmosphere. The aging effects include loss of material or changes in material properties. The LRA does not provide sufficient information to ensure that degradation of fiberglass doors will not occur in an indoor or outdoor air environment.

Requests: 1. For the indoor air application, state whether or not the fiberglass doors are exposed to direct UV lighting or ozone.

2. For the outdoor air application, state how the doors are protected from environmental effects such as rain and sunlight, or propose how the aging effects of loss of material and change in material properties will be managed.
