Describe any changes to the EDG surveillance testing and/or how the surveillance testing demonstrates the EDG capability to supply the necessary accident loading. In addition (if load has been added),

describe EDG design load margin and how that design margin is managed.

2. Provide a list and description of components being added to your 10 CFR 50.49 program due to this LAR (if applicable). Confirm that these components are qualified for the environmental conditions they are expected to be exposed to.

3. The licensee proposed utilizing sodium tetraborate decahydrate stored in stainless steel baskets inside containment to control pH at 7.0 or higher, crediting Containment Spray for post-LOCA iodine removal and not crediting the Containment Filtration System in the AST dose consequences analyses.
