SUBJECT: JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NRC LICENSERENEWAL INSPECTION REPORT 05000333/2007007
Dear Mr. Dietrich:
On April 26, 2007, an NRC team completed the onsite portion of its inspection of yourapplication for license renewal of your James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. The enclosed report documents the results of the inspection, which were discussed on June 21, 2007, with you and members of your staff in an exit meeting open for public observation in Fulton, New York. The purpose of this inspection was to examine the plant activities and documents that supportthe application for a renewed license of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. The inspection reviewed the screening and scoping of non-safety related systems, structures, and components, as required in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2), and determined whether the proposed aging management programs are capable of reasonably managing the effects of aging. These NRC inspection activities constitute one of several inputs into the NRC review process for license renewal applications.The inspection team concluded screening and scoping of non-safety related systems,structures, and components were implemented as required in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2), and the aging management portion of the license renewal activities was conducted as described in the License Renewal Application. The inspection concluded that the documentation supporting the application was in an auditable and retrievable form. The team identified a number of areas that resulted in changes to the application, programs, and procedures.Overall, the inspection results support a conclusion that the proposed activities will reasonablymanage the effects of aging in the systems, structures, and components identified in your application and that the intended functions of these systems, structures, and components will be maintained in the period of extended operation.
