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. The 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. The second and third steps in the IPA process cover the identification of passive long-lived components requiring aging management reviews and the performance of aging management reviews for those components. This report, which is another in the CCNPP LCM series of EPRI reports, describes the methodology for performing scoping and component aging management reviews for structures. A review of the CCNPP processes will assist other nuclear power plant operators in establishing their own LCM programs. Volume 3 contains appendix F. Structural component aging management review for intake structures and auxiliary building structures.
