________________________________________ LOCATIONSCEUEORE 9 The Program will be enhanced to: (1) incorporate a requirement to A.1.1.14 Prior to the period of Fire Water System perform one or a combination of the following two activities: extended operation Program (a) Implement periodic flow testing consistent with the intent of LRA Section B.2.14 NFPA 25, or (b) Perform wall thickness evaluations to verify piping is not impaired by pipe scale, corrosion products, or other foreign maternal. For sprinkler systems, this may be done by flushing, internal inspection by removing one or more sprinkler heads, or by other obstruction investigation methods, (such as technically proven ultrasonic and X-ray examination) that have been evaluated as being capable of detecting obstructions. (These inspections will be performed before the end of the current operating term. The results from the initial inspections will be used to determine inspection intervals thereafter during the period of extended operation.),

(2) perform internal inspections of system piping at representative locations as required to verify that loss of material due to corrosion has not impaired system intended function. Alternately, non-intrusive inspections (e.g., ultrasonic testing) can be used to verify piping integrity. (These inspections will be performed before the end of the current operating term. The results from the initial inspections will be used to determine inspection intervals thereafter during the period of extended operation.),

(3) incorporate a requirement to perform a visual inspection of yard fire hydrants annually consistent with the intent of NFPA 25 to ensure timely detection of signs of degradation, such as corrosion; and, (4) consistent with the intent of NFPA 25, either replace the sprinkler heads prior to reaching their 50-year service life or revise site procedures to perform field service testing, by a recognized testing laboratory, of representative samples from one or more sample areas. (Subsequent test intervals will be based on test results.)
