Salem Unit 2 AFW - Memory Test From 1994!
Hello Joe, You may have heard about the AFW buried piping degradation discovered a few weeks ago here at Salem Unit 1. Of course, we've been pressing PSEG to tell us why Unit 2's buried piping is OK? They have brought up an inspection of the Unit 2 piping which your questions generated in 1994. Not surprisingly they have not located real convincing documentary evidence about what that inspection showed.
I'm wondering if you can shed any light on the following questions:
(1) Can you describe what condition or symptoms prompted your questioning?
(2) Where, and how much water did you observe? Where did you observe it?
(3) What do you remember about the inspection of the buried piping in 1994? How many areas were excavated? Could both AFW headers be visually inspected in all excavated areas?
(4) Who were the principal investigators for PSEG at that time?
(5) Can you remember your assessment of the AFW piping after excavating? Were both headers visible?
(6) Do you know if the excavated areas had the pipes (both headers) recoated before re-burying? Do you know what the pipes were re-coated with and how long it was to remain effective?
(7) We are told that the AFW pipes were not leaking. If you believe that-was the case, do you know what source they attributed the, originally observed, water too?
I appreciate any information you can provide. Thanks.
An email response is fine. If it's more convenient to call me, please call my cell phon e)()
you get a chance.
