Central to the Life Cycle Management (LCM) Program for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) plant is its Integrated Plant Assessment (IPA) process. The IPA is a comprehensive, systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of age-related degradation management for the plant`s important systems, structures, and components. Components of structures are identified as functionally important and within the scope of license renewal in the scoping (screening) step and are evaluated to determine if they are subject to aging management review. For those that are, further evaluations of aging issues are performed. At Calvert Cliffs, a detailed methodology and procedures for conducting component level scoping and evaluations of structures have been developed and thoroughly tested. The development and application of these procedures have resolved problems that other utilities can avoid by adapting these methods to their own plants. In recognition of this, the CCNPP LCM processes and results are being presented in a series of EPRI reports. The first report of this series, which provided an overview of the then current CCNPP LCM/IPA process, will be revised to reflect the final CCNPP process. This first set of steps in the IPA process, scoping, (called screening in earlier versions of the LR rule), identifies systems, structures, and components that are within the scope of license renewal.
