DRAFT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING PROPOSED RELIEF REQUEST TO UTILIZE CODE CASE OMN-18 EXELON GENERATION COMPANY, LLC LIMERICK GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-352 AND 50-353 By letter dated April 13, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15104A531), Exelon Generation Company, LLC submitted a relief request for Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2. The proposed relief request concerns the use American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (Code) Case OMN-18, Alternate Testing Requirements for Pumps Tested Quarterly Within

+/-20% of Design Flow.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the information the licensee provided that supports the proposed relief request and would like to discuss the following issues to clarify the submittal.

RAI 1

Code Case OMN-18 has a note that states, Subsection ISTB allows the Owner to categorize the pumps in their program. As such, an Owner could categorize a pump that otherwise meets the requirements of Group B, as a Group A pump, and test according to this Code Case.

However, in doing so they are obtaining additional data (vibration and flow or differential pressure) quarterly, rather than once every 2 yr. Confirm that the pumps listed in Section 1, ASME Code Component(s) Affected, of the relief request that are categorized as Group B pumps, will be re-categorized as Group A pumps.
