REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SEPTEMBER 8, 2004 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff (the staff) and representatives of Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M) held a telephone conference call on September 8, 2004, to discuss and clarify a RAI concerning the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (Cook),

license renewal application (LRA). The following RAI was discussed during the telephone conference call.

RAI 3.5-8 Section 3.5 of the LRA states that at Cook, the concrete is not exposed to flowing water and the below-grade environment is not aggressive (pH is greater than 5.5, chlorides is less than 500ppm, and sulfates is less than 1,500ppm). Therefore, the LRA concludes that increase in porosity and permeability and loss of strength due to leaching of calcium hydroxide are not applicable aging effects for Cook concrete structures. However, the applicant did not commit, in the structures monitoring program (SMP) to periodically monitor the ground water chemistry, as specified in the GALL.

The applicant is requested to:

(a) Either augment its SMP to include the monitoring program and to ensure that the ground water will continuously be non-aggressive, or (b) Provide technical basis and justify that there is no need to continuously monitor the ground water chemistry.

Additional Information Requested I&Ms original response to RAI 3.5-8 indicated ground water chemistry is not anticipated to change in the future. Therefore, periodic monitoring of it is not required. The staffs position is that water chemistry can change over time. The applicant was requested to commit to 10 - 20 year future sampling.

Discussion Following a discussion over the staffs position, the applicant stated that other I&M staff members would have to be contacted to determine the feasibility for making such a commitment. The applicant will respond on the docket.
