The inner tubes, which were incorrectly shown as red, are contained within the outer tubes. The nonsafety-related inner tube side of the coolers are not connected to safety-related piping, do not have a spatial relationship such that their failure could adversely impact on the performance of a safety-related SSC intended function, and are not credited for any regulatory events; therefore, they do not perform any intended functions and are not in scope. LR-302-181 should have depicted the inner tube side of the coolers as black, indicating the inner tube side is not in scope for license renewal. Note 3 should have read, "The Primary Sample Coolers are evaluated for aging management with the CCCW System." The Primary Sample Coolers are not listed in Table 2.3.3-17 because the inner tube side of the coolers do not perform any intended function and the outer tube side, which performs a leakage boundary intended function, is evaluated with Closed Cycle Cooling Water. Refer to Table 2.3.3-4 for a list of Closed Cycle Cooling Water components subject to Aging Management Review.

Background:
On various license renewal drawings, the applicant shows the piping leading up to and out of an enclosure, such as a sampling panel, highlighted in red, indicating that the components are within the scope of license renewal under 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(2) criteria according to Note 1 on drawing LR-302-003.
Yet, the piping inside the panel and the panel enclosure walls are not shown as in scope. Examples of this condition can be found on license renewal drawing LR-302-181, at location E-9; the iron sampler housing, the sampling rack just below the iron sampler, and the piping inside these enclosures are all shown in black, not highlighted.
Issue: The piping in the room up to the sampling rack and iron sampler housing is highlighted in red, indicating it is within the scope of license renewal under 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).
The staff would expect either the internal components or the panel to be included within scope of license renewal.Request: Justify the exclusion of the housing panels and their internal piping and components from being in scope for an AMR in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).
In addition, provide a general explanation of how piping and components inside enclosures, as illustrated above, are evaluated for inclusion in scope under 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).
AmerGen Response These enclosures are in scope and evaluated for license renewal in Section 2.4.13, Structural Commodities as commodity type Cabinets, Enclosures and Panels for Electrical Equipment and Instrumentation.
AmerGen's practice was to not highlight structural components on mechanical drawings.As indicated on the drawing, piping up to the enclosure is required to perform a leakage boundary function; therefore, it is subject to AMR for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) due to the potential of spatial interaction with safety-related equipment.
Piping inside the enclosure does not have a potential for spatial interaction with safety-related equipment, because the enclosure protects the safety-related equipment from spray originating from the nonsafety-related components.
Refer to Table 2.4-13 and AMR Table 3.5.2-13.

Background:
On license renewal drawing LR-302-203 at locations C-3 through C-5 and B-3 through B-5, the traveling water screens and auto bar rakes are highlighted in green, indicating that they are within the scope of license renewal under 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(1) or (a)(3) according to Note 1 on license renewal drawing LR-302-003.
The traveling water screens and debris bars (bar racks, not the automatic rakes) have a passive intended function of filter. LRA Section 2.3.3.19, Open Cycle Cooling Water System (OCCWS), on page 2.3-139 in the last paragraph, states that the OCCWS System boundary begins at the intake screen and pump house bar racks.Issue: The staff noted that, in LRA Table 2.3.3-19, Open Cycle Cooling Water System, Components Subject to Aging Management Review, the traveling water screens and debris bars have not been listed. A review of LRA Section 2.4.8, Intake Screen and Pump House, indicates the traveling water screens and debris bars have also not been included in this building system.Request: Justify the exclusion of the components bar racks and traveling screens for the intended function of filter from Table 2.3.3-19.AmerGen Response The bar racks are passive components within the scope of license renewal with a filter intended function.
The bar racks are subject to aging management and should have been included in Table 2.3.3-19.
The traveling screens are also within the scope of license renewal with a filter intended function, but are active components and not subject to aging management review.Due to their active intended function, the traveling screens were excluded from Table 2.3.3-19.Additionally, bar grids are located at the outermost portion of the intake structure.
The bars grids are 2-foot by 2-foot stainless steel grids that prevent large debris from entering the intake.They perform a filter passive intended function similar to the function of the bar racks. These bar grids are not shown on drawing LR-302-203.
Paragraphs one and two of "System Operation" in LRA Section 2.3.3.19 on page 2.3-138 should have read as follows: The OCCW System is comprised of bar grids, bar rakes, bar racks, traveling screens, river water pumps, strainers, piping and components, heat exchangers, and instrumentation and control. The river water pumps are the Decay Heat River, Nuclear Service River Water, Secondary Service Cooling Water, and Screen House Ventilation Cooling Water Pumps.Automatic Bar Rakes remove the initial large debris from the river water at theto the Intake Screen and Pump House (ISPH). Stainless steel bar grids, with a 2-foot horizontal spacing and a 3.5-foot vertical spacing, are located on the inlet openings of the Intake Screen and Pump House (ISPH)
September 16, 2008 Page 31 of 44 5928-08-20196 Enclosure A to prevent large river debris from entering the ISPH. Downstream of the bar grids, carbon steel bar racks are positioned to provide a 1- inch clearance for a finer passive filtering of river debris. Collected debris is removed automatically by a power driven Fake bar rakes, which lifts trash up the front of the vertical bars bar racks and dumps the trash into a trough. Traveling screens are located just after the autemiati bar Fakes racks. Small size 3/8-inch openings in the traveling screens catch debris that has passed through the bar rakes racks. The traveling screens are cleaned by pumped river water that is strained and then sprayed on the screens. The bar grids, bar rakes, bar racks, and traveling screens together perform a filtering function that assures a highly reliable, screened supply of river water at the suction of the Nuclear Services and Decay Heat River Water Pumps, allowing them to perform their nuclear safety-related function.
Based on this filter function, these components are included the OCCW System scope required for License Renewal. The bar rakes and traveling screens are considered active components and are not subject to aging management review.Paragraphs one and two of "System Boundary" in LRA Section 2.3.3.19 on page 2.3-139 should read as follows: The OCCW System boundary begins at the ISPH bar Frak-s grids. The system continues through the bar rakes, bar racks, traveling screens, river water pumps, and strainers and then runs underground into the Heat Exchanger Vault and Turbine Building.
The system then passes through the heat exchangers and leads to the common river discharge line. The system then passes through the river discharge line in both directions to the East Dike and through the MDCT basin, radiation monitor pit, and to discharge at the river. The OCCW boundary also includes the radiation monitor pit pump, associated piping and valves, and radiation monitor. The boundary includes discharge piping through, but not including, the East Dike.The boundary includes the Screen House Ventilation Equipment pumps, strainers, piping, through the vent equipment, to the ISPH. The Screen House Ventilation cooling coils are evaluated with the Intake Screen and Pump House Ventilation System. The boundary also includes the Screen Wash pumps and continues through the pump discharge strainers, traveling water screens, and auto bar rakesT to the sluice canal. The boundary includes the river pump strainer backwash, which discharges to the river.System Intended Function #2 in LRA Section 2.3.3.19 on page 2.3-141 should have read as follows: 2. Resist nonsafety-related SSC failure that could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of a safety-related function.
The bar grids, bar rakes, bar racks, and traveling screens together perform a filtering function that assures a highly reliable, screened supply of river water at the suction of the Nuclear Service and Decay Heat River Water Pumps, allowing them to perform their nuclear safety-related function.The OCCW System also contains nonsafety-rated water-filled

Background:
The staff noted that on license renewal drawing LR-302-162, at location G-1, a vacuum degasifier tank is highlighted in red, indicating that it is within the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(2) according to Note 1 on drawing LR-302-003.
This component type "tank" would have a leakage boundary function.Issue: LRA Table 2.3.3-25, Water Treatment
& Distribution System, Components Subject to Aging Management Review, includes "tank" as a component type and itemizes which tanks are included; however, the table does not show "tank (vacuum degasifier)" as a component subject to an AMR.Request: Justify the exclusion of "tank (vacuum degasifier)" from LRA Table 2.3.3-25.AmerGen Response The drawing is correct. The vacuum degasifier tank is in scope for leakage boundary.
This tank was omitted from LRA Table 2.3.3-25 Water Treatment
& Distribution System Components Subject to Aging Management Review and LRA Table 3.3.2-25 Water Treatment
& Distribution System Summary of Aging Management Evaluation.
As also indicated on drawing LR-302-162, the degasifier booster pumps are in scope for leakage boundary.
The degasifier booster pumps were also omitted from LRA Tables 2.3.3-25 and 3.3.2-25.LRA Table 2.3.3-25 should have included the following component types and their intended functions:

Background:
LRA Section 2.3.4.4, Extraction Steam System, states that the extraction steam system meets 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) because it is a system that is relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events.Issue: The staff could not identify the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) functions provided by the extraction steam system in order to verify the applicant did not omit any components.
Request: Provide the functions that support the 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) designation provided by the extraction steam system and identify the components that perform these functions.
AmerGen Response The extraction steam system performs no 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) intended functions.
LRA Section 2.3.4.4, Reason for Scope Determination, incorrectly stated that extraction steam system meets 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
The extraction steam system is in scope for license renewal because it meets 10CFR 54.4(a)(2).
LRA Section 2.3.4.4, "Reason for Scope Determination" should have read as follows: The Extraction Steam System is not in scope under 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) because no portions of the system are safety-related and relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events. It meets 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) because failure of nonsafety-related portions of the system could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of function(s) identified for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
The Extraction Steam System is not in scope under 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3) because it is not relied upon in safety analyses or plant evaluations to perform a function that demonstrates compliance with the Commission's regulations for Fire Protection (10 CFR 50.48), Environmental Qualification (10 CFR 50.49), Pressurized Thermal Shock (10 CFR 50.61), Anticipated Transient Without Scram (10 CFR 50.62), and Station Blackout (10 CFR 50.63).

Background:
On license renewal drawing LR-302-141, at location G-5, a turbine gland seal atmospheric drain tank is highlighted in red, indicating that it is within the scope of license renewal under 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(2) according to Note 1 on drawing LR-302-003.
Typically, this component type "tank" has a leakage boundary function.Issue: LRA Table 2.3.4-8, Steam Turbine and Auxiliary Systems, Components Subject to Aging Management Review, includes "tank" as a component type and itemizes which tanks are included.
However, the table does not show "tank (turbine gland seal)" as a component subject to an AMR.Request: Justify the exclusion of the turbine gland seal atmospheric drain tank from LRA Table 2.3.4-8.AmerGen Response The Turbine Gland Seal Atmospheric Drain Tank, GS-T-1, is a nonsafety-related tank within the scope of license renewal. It has a leakage boundary function and is subject to aging management review. This tank is part of the Condensate System and should have been-included in LRA Tables 2.3.4-1 and 3.4.2-1 as shown below.Boundary flags on drawings LR-302-141 and LR-302-172 incorrectly indicate that the turbine gland seal atmospheric drain tank and associated piping is part of the Steam Turbine &Auxiliaries System (STA). These flags should have been removed from the drawings.
They are located at valves GS-V-14 (LR-302-141, G-5) and CO-V-60 (LR-302-172, D-4). Additionally, on drawing LR-302-141 at G-4, the STA flag should have been replaced by a Condensate System (CO) flag.Table 2.3.4-1 Condensate System Components Subject to Aging Management Review Component Type Intended Functions Tanks (Condensate Seal Water Head Tank, Leakage Boundary Miscellaneous Drains Collection Tank, Turbine Gland Seal Atmospheric Drain Tank)Table 3.4.2-1, as shown below, should have included the name and function of the Turbine Gland Seal Atmospheric Drain Tank as follows:
