REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION JAMES A. FITZPATRICK LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (LRA)
RAI 3.0-1 Quality Assurance Program Attributes in Appendix A, "Updated Safety Analysis Report Supplement," and Appendix B, "Aging Managiement Programs and Activities" The NRC staff reviewed the applicant's AMPs described in Appendix A, "Updated Safety Analysis Report Supplement," and Appendix B, "Aging Management Programs and Activities," of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP) license renewal application (LRA). In addition, the NRC staff reviewed each individual AMP basis document to ensure consistency in the use of the quality assurance attributes for each program. The purpose of this review was to assure that the aging management activities were consistent with the staff's guidance described in NUREG-1 800, Section A.2, "Quality Assurance for Aging Management Programs (Branch Technical Position IQMB-1)."
Based on the NRC staff's evaluation, the descriptions and applicability of the plant-specific aging management programs (AMPs) and their associated quality attributes provided in Appendix A, Section A.2.1, and Appendix B, Section B.0.3, of the LRA are generally consistent with the staff's position regarding quality assurance for aging management. However, the NRC staff noted that the AMP basis documents did not consistently describe the application of the JAFNPP 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Program, for the corrective action, confirmation process, and administrative control attributes in each AMP. The NRC staff, therefore, requests that the applicant provide the following information to address these issues:
- a. A supplement to the description in the Appendix A, Section A.2. 1, of the LRA to clearly indicate the application of the JAFNPP 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Program for the corrective action, conformation process, and administrative control attributes in each program.
- b. A consistent description for each AMP bases document which describes the application of the JAFNPP 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Program for the corrective action, confirmation process, and administrative control attributes in each AMP.
RAI 3.0-1 Response
- a. The following is hereby appended to Appendix A, Section A.2. 1, of the LRA.
The corrective action, confirmation process, and administrative controls of the Entergy (10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B) Quality Assurance Program are applicable to all aging management programs and activities required during the period of extended operation.
- b. As indicated in the response to 3.0-1.a, the corrective action, confirmation process, and administrative controls of the Entergy (10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B) Quality Assurance Program are applicable to all aging management programs and activities required during the period of extended operation. The program basis document references 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B for these attributes for all aging management programs.
