ts for obtaining a renewed license for operation beyond its initial 40 year operating license. Related Guidance • RG 1.160, “Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants,” (Ref. 4) provides further guidance on the maintenance rule and its requirement for each licensee to monitor the effectiveness of maintenance for protective coatings within its scope (as discrete systems or components or as part of any SSC) or to demonstrate that the performance or condition of these coatings is being effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventive maintenance, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2), as appropriate. • NUREG-1801, “Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report,” (Ref. 5) and/or NUREG- 2191, “Generic Aging Lessons Learned for Subsequent License Renewal (GALL-SLR) Report,” (Ref. 6) describes the aging management programs (AMPs) to be developed by a licensee and submitted as part of an application for license renewal. The AMP should describe how the aging DG-1331, Page 3 effects associated with: (1) coatings installed on the inside of containments (i.e., Service Level I), and (2) coatings whose degradation could prevent an in-scope component’s or downstream in- scope component’s ability to perform its intended function(s) identified under 10 CFR Part 54 are managed such that the component’s intended function will be met during periods of extended operation. Purpose of Regulatory Guides The NRC issues RGs to describe to the public methods that the staff considers acceptable for use in implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated events, and to provide guidance to applicants. Regulatory guides are not substitutes for regulations and compliance with them is not required. Methods and solutions that differ from those set forth in RGs will be deemed acceptable if they provide a basis for
