RE: Salem Drop-in Meeting - return Messages Thanks Harold.

And thanks for raising the 2nd issue (when the licensee didn't volunteer it themselves). I believe they covered the first issue (robustness of ISI program) in their discussion regarding their upcoming root cause look.

Salem Drop-in Meeting - return Messages As the Salem AFW buried pipe is a topic of the Salem Drop-in Meeting today, the following return messages for your consideration.

The AFW buried pipe testing was in the ISI program and a relief request was processed in the 1st interval (1st 10 year of operation), but got lost from the ISI program by the current 10 year interval.

The comment is: What is being done to confirm that other items have not been lost or deleted from the ISI program?

In 2001, NRC identified the failure of another PWR plant, similar to Salem, that had failed to do testing of buried piping per the ASME Code Section XI and documented it in an Inspection Report as an Enforcement Item (NCV)

The comment is: This is an Operating Experience or problem identification and resolution (PI&R) issue.-

What is being done to identify if there are others ?

Both of the above comments have been communicated from the Inspection Staff to Salem and have significance because they apply to:

Program continuity (in this case, IS]),

Application of Operational Experience (OE),

and PI&R effectiveness.
