Content:
tain passive and long-lived components are considered consumables and therefore are not subject to inclusion in the AMR. System filters, fire extinguishers, fire hoses, and air packs (within the scope of license renewal) may be excluded, on a plant-specific basis, from an aging management review under 10 CFR Part 54.21(a)(1)(ii). These components are considered within the scope of license renewal and are typically replaced based on specific performance and condition monitoring activities that clearly establish a routine replacement practice based on a qualified life component. These components may be excluded based on specific performance and condition monitoring activities provided that the applicant (1) identifies and lists in the Revision 4 - October 2003 54 license renewal application each component type subject to such replacement, and (2) identifies the applicable programs that conform to appropriate standards (e.g., National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards). It is required that the applicant state in the license renewal application that the components are included within scope but excluded from an AMR on the basis of the consumables position. Furthermore, steps (1) and (2) shown above must be addressed in the license renewal application to ensure that proper technical justification is provided for the exclusion of the system filters, fire extinguishers, fire hoses, and air packs. For all components identified within the scope of license renewal and subject to an aging management review, programs are credited to maintain a components intended function throughout the period of extended operation. For example, the intended function of fire suppression piping or the fire pump casing is to provide a pressure boundary. Therefore, programs credited to manage the aging effects for the pressure boundary can be in the form of existing plant programs, modified (or enhanced) programs, or new programs specifically created to address aging concerns.
