RAI 2.4-1 Section 2.4.1.1 "Containment Structure" of the license renewal application (LRA), page 2.4-4, states "The welded attachments to the metallic liner (e.g., floor beams, seismic

restraints, leak channels, equipment/pipe supports, etc.) do not perform a pressure

retaining function associated with the containment vessel. For this reason, the welded

attachments are not included with the liner components. These welded attachments are

evaluated with the specific commodity groups." Please identify these specific

component commodity groups, as well as their intended functions, for the welded

attachments.

RAI 2.4-2 Section 2.4.1.1 "Containment Structure" of the LRA, page 2.4-7, states that the insulation for Type II cold penetrations is not in scope because the concrete surrounding

the penetration will always be below the maximum local area temperature of 200 0 F. Please state the criteria employed for determining the inclusion of insulation within the

scope.RAI 2.4-3 Section 2.4.2.12 "Emergency Service Water and Cooling Tower Makeup Intake Structure" of the LRA, Table 2.4.2-12, does not include screens and stop logs. Clarify

whether screens and stop logs are in the scope. If not, provide justification for their

exclusion from the scope.

RAI 2.4-4 Section 2.4.2.16 "Fuel Handling Building" of the LRA, Page 2.4-48, states "Design criteria have been used to assure that the collapse of adjacent non-seismic Category I

structures would not impair the integrity of the seismic Category I structures or

components should an earthquake occur." Please specify what design criteria have

been used and explain how these design criteria can assure that the collapse of

adjacent non-seismic Category I structures would not impair the integrity of the seismic

Category I structures or components.
