SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Reactor Safety
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
A.
NRC Findings
Green. The inspector identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of very low safety
significance (Green) for the PSEG failure to perform Auxiliary Feedwater System (AFW)
discharge piping pressure tests on buried piping components as required by 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) and the referenced American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code
(ASME),Section XI, paragraph IWA-5244 for Salem Unit 1 and Salem Unit 2. The
required tests are intended to intended to provide evidence of the structural integrity of
the buried piping portions of the system. The affected piping is safety related, ASME
Class 3, Seismic Class 1 piping. This performance deficiency is more than minor
because the condition affected the Equipment Performance attribute (availability and
reliability) of the mitigating systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability,
reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent
undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). No Cross Cutting Aspect is assigned to
this violation because this condition is not indicative of current performance.
B.
Licensee Identified Findings
A violation of very low safety significance, which was identified by PSEG, was reviewed
by the inspector. Corrective action taken or planned by PSEG were entered into the
corrective action program. The violation and corrective action (Notification) number is
described in Section 40A7 of this report.

REPORT DETAILS
1R08. Inservice Inspection (ISI) (7111108 - 1 Sample)
a.
Inspection Scope
The inspector observed a selected sample of nondestructive examination (NDE)
activities in process. Also, the inspector reviewed the records of selected additional
samples of completed NDE and repair/replacement activities. The sample selection was
based on the inspection procedure objectives and risk priority of those components and
systems where degradation would result in a significant increase in risk of core damage.
The observations and documentation reviews were performed to verify that the activities
inspected were performed in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements.
The inspector reviewed the licensee's performance of a visual inspection (VT) of the Unit
1 Reactor Vessel Closure Head (RVCH) and the installed upper head penetrations. The
inspector reviewed the visual procedure, the qualifications of the personnel and
reviewed the inspection report documenting the inspection results. The inspector also
reviewed the data sheets for the penetrant tests completed on 3 of the penetration welds
of the RVCH.
The inspector reviewed records of ultrasonic testing (UT), visual testing (VT), penetrant
testing (PT) and magnetic particle testing (MT) NDE processes. PSEG did not perform
any radiographic testing (RT) during this outage. The inspector reviewed inspection
data sheets and documentation for these activities to verify the effectiveness of the
examiner, process, and equipment in identifying degradation of risk significant systems,
structures and components and to evaluate the activities for compliance with the
requirements of ASME Code,Section XI.
Steam Generator Inspection Activities
The inspectors reviewed a sample of the Salem Unit 1 steam generator Eddy Current
Testing (ECT) tube examinations, and applicable procedures for monitoring degradation
of steam generator tubes to verify that the steam generator examination activities were
performed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the steam generator
examination program, Salem Unit 1 steam generator examination guidelines, NRC
Generic Letters, Code of Federal Regulations 1OCFR50, Technical Specifications for
Salem Unit 1, Nuclear Energy Institute 97-06, EPRI PWR steam generator examination
guidelines, and the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Sections V and Xl. The
review also included the Salem Unit 1 steam generator degradation assessment and
steam generator Cycle 21 and 22 operational assessment. The inspector also reviewed
and verified the personnel certifications of the personnel participating in the SG ECT
inspections during the 1R20 refueling outage.
2
The inspector reviewed the PSEG efforts in identifying wear degradation to the tubing in
the four SGs at Salem U1. The majority of these wear indications was attributed to Anti
Vibration Bar (AVB) wear in the u bend regions of the four SGs. The inspector reviewed
the analyses and evaluations which determined that a total of 14 SG tubes would be
removed from service by plugging.
Boris Acid Corrosion Control Program Activities
The inspector reviewed the PSEG boric acid corrosion control program. The resident
inspectors observed PSEG personnel performing boric acid walkdown inspections,
inside containment, and in other affected areas outside of containment, at the beginning
of the Unit 1 refueling outage. The inspector reviewed the Notifications generated by the
walkdowns and the evaluations conducted by Engineering to disposition the
Notifications. Additionally, the inspector reviewed a sample of Notifications and
corrective actions carried out to repair the reported conditions.
Section XI Repair/Replacement Samples:
AFW System Piping, Control Air & Station Air: The inspector reviewed PSEG's
discovery, reporting, evaluation and the repair/replacement of Unit 1 AFW piping which
had been excavated for inspection during the April 2010 Unit 1 refueling outage (1R20).
PSEG conducted this inspection in accordance with PSEGs Buried Piping Inspection
Program.
The inspector reviewed the repair/replacement work orders and the 50.59 screening and
evaluation for the AFW, CA and SA piping. The inspector reviewed the fabrication of the
replacement piping, reviewed the documentation of the welding and NDE of the
replacement piping and reviewed the pressure tests used to certify the replacement
piping. Additionally, the inspector reviewed the specified replacement coating, the
application of the replacement coating and the backfill of the excavated area after the
piping had been tested.
The inspector reviewed the limited UT testing performed on the Unit 2 AFW piping and
no significant degradation was reported.
Rewectable Indication Accepted For Service After Analysis:
The inspector reviewed the Notification and the UT data report of a rejectable wall
thickness measurement on the #11 SG Feedwater elbow during 1 R20: The inspector
reviewed the additional wall thickness data taken to further define the condition and
reviewed the finite element analysis (FEA) which verified that sufficient wall thickness
remained to operate the component until the next refueling outage when it will be
replaced.
Issue of Agency Concern: Buried, Safety Related Piping:
Because of an ongoing issue of Agency Concern about the degradation of buried piping
this issue is being documented as a licensee-identified finding in Section 40A7 in
accordance with the guidance of IMC 0612-10.
3
During a planned excavation and inspection of the Unit 1 AFW buried piping to SG #12
and SG #14, PSEG identified severe corrosion (significantly below minimum wall
thickness) of the safety related, ASME Class 3, Seismic Class 1 piping. PSEG repaired
or replaced the affected Unit 1 buried AFW piping in May 2010. The inspector
subsequently identified that this condition was a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B,
Criterion Ill, Design Control.
b.
Finding
The inspector identified the following violation related to ASME, Section Xl testing of
buried Unit 1 and Unit 2 buried AFW piping.
Introduction The inspector identified a GREEN non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) and the referenced American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Code, Section Xl, paragraph IWA-5244 for PSEG's failure to perform required pressure
tests of buried components. This piping is safety related, 4.0" ID, ASME Class 3,
Seismic Class 1 piping.
Description Portions of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System piping
is buried piping and has not been visually inspected since the plant began operation in
1977 for Unit 1 and since 1979 for Salem Unit 2. In April 2010, approximately 680 ft.
(340 ft. of the #12 SG AFW supply and 340 ft. of the #14 SG AFW supply) of piping
between the pump discharge manifold and the connection to the Main Feedwater piping
to the affected SGs was discovered to be corroded to below minimum wall thickness
(0.278") for the 1950 psi design pressure of the AFW System. The lowest wall thickness
measured in the affected piping was 0.077". PSEG plans on excavating the Unit 2
buried piping to inspect the condition during the next Unit 2 outage scheduled for the
spring of 2011.
10 CFR 50.55(a)(g)(4)(ii) requires licensees to follow the in-service requirements of the
ASME Code,Section XI. Paragraph IWA-5244 requires licensees to perform pressure
tests on buried components to demonstrate structural integrity of the tested piping. The
pressure test required by IWA-5244 is considered to be an inservice inspection and is
part of Section XI.Section XI and IWA-5244 do not specify any other non-destructive
examinations (NDE) on buried components to ensure structural integrity. Thus, PSEG
neglected to perform the only inservice inspection, intended to provide evidence of the
structural integrity of this safety related buried piping. PSEG did not perform the required
tests for Unit 1 during the 1st period (5/19/01 to 6/3/04) and 2 nd period (6/24/04 to
5/20/08) periods of the 3rd In Service Inspection Interval, and for Unit 2 for the 1st period
(5/19/01 to 6/3/04) and 2 nd period (6/24/04 to 5/20/08) of the 3 rd In Service Inspection
Interval.
PSEG sought relief, from the NRC, from the previous Code required pressure testing in
1988 for Unit 1 only. Relief was granted to PSEG, by the NRC, to perform an alternate
flow test in 1991 for Unit 1. However, PSEG did not perform the proposed alternate
tests during the 2 nd inservice interval and during the 1st (5/19/01 to 6/3/04) and 2 nd
(6/24/04 to 5/20/08) periods of the 3 rV In Service Inspection Interval for Unit 1. Also,
PSEG did not request relief from the required tests or perform perform the proposed
alternate tests on the Unit 2 buried piping during the 1st period (5/19/01 to 6/3/04) and
2 nd period (6/24/04 to 5/20/08) of the 3rd In Service Inspection Intervals. Thus, PSEG
4
missed an opportunity to identify and correct this performance deficiency which affects
Unit 1 and Unit 2.
A second opportunity to identify and correct this performance deficiency was missed in
2002 when a similar condition (failure to perform buried piping pressure tests) was
reported by Indian Point Unit 3. PSEG's review of operating experience reports did not
identify that the same condition potentially existed at Salem Unit 1 and Unit 2.
PSEG replaced the affected buried Unit 1 piping during the refueling outage in April/May
2010. The required pressure tests were successfully completed after the replacement of
the Unit 1 buried piping. Because the AFW system functioned as required during the
plant shutdown prior to the start of 1 R20 (April 2010), the system did not loose
operability.
For Unit 2, PSEG completed an Operability Determination and a Risk Assessment for
continued operation until the next scheduled refueling outage scheduled for spring 2011
for this issue. These evaluations determined that the condition was acceptable for
continued operation until spring 2011.
Analysis The inspector determined that the licensee's failure to perform the required
pressure test on this safety related buried piping was a performance deficiency for each
Salem Unit. This condition was the result of the licensee's failure to meet the regulatory
requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) and the ASME Code,Section XI, paragraph IWA-
5244. This performance deficiency was reasonably within the licensee's ability to forsee
and correct and should have been prevented.
The inspector determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor because
this condition affected the Equipment Performance attribute (availability and reliability) of
the mitigating systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability and
capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable
consequences (i.e., core damage).
This finding affects the mitigating systems cornerstone by affecting the secondary, short
term decay heat removal capability. Because the finding did not result in loss of
operability or functionality the inspector determined that the finding was of very low
safety significance, Green.
The inspector determined that a Cross Cutting Aspect did not exist because the issue
was not indicative of current performance because the condition existed since 1991,
more than 3 years ago.
Enforcement 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) states, in part: "Throughout the service life of a
boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear power facility, components ... which are
classified as ASME Code Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 must meet the requirements, ...
set forth in Section XI of editions of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code".
Paragraph IWA-5244, Buried Components, of Section XI says, in part,
"(b) For buried components where a VT-2 visual examination cannot be
performed, the examination requirement is satisfied by the following: (1) The
system pressure test for buried components that are isolable by means of valves
5
shall consist of a test that determines the rate of pressure loss. Alternatively, the-
test may determine the change in flow between the ends of the buried
components.
Contrary to these requirements, PSEG did not perform the required pressure tests of the
buried AFW piping to the #12 SG and #14 SG at Salem Unit 1 during the 2nd In Service
Inspection Interval (2/27/88 to 5/19/01) and during the 1st (5/19/01 to 6/3/04) and 2 nd
(6/24/04 to 5/20/08) periods of the 3 rd In Service Inspection Interval (5/19/01 to 5/19/11).
Also, contrary to these requirements, PSEG did not perform the required pressure tests
of the buried piping to the #22 SG and #24 SG for Unit 2 for the 1st period (5/19/01 to
6/3/04) and 2 nd period (6/24/04 to 5/20/08) of the 3 rd In Service Inspection Interval.
Consequently, from 2/27/88 to 4/20/07) the required pressure tests were not performed
to demonstrate structural integrity on the affected buried Unit 1 AFW piping.
Because PSEG entered this condition into the corrective action process (Notification
20459686) and because it is is of very low safety significance (Green), it is being treated
as a non-cited violation consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

40A2 Identification and Resolution of Problems (71152)
a.
Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed a sample of corrective action reports (Notifications), listed in
Attachment 2 which involved in-service inspection related issues, to ensure that issues
are being promptly identified, reported and resolved. The sample of Notifications
selected did demonstrate that non-conformances are being identified, evaluated and
appropriately addressed.
b.
Findincqs
No findings of significance were identified.
40A5 Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/172
a.
Inspection Scope
The Temporary Instruction (TI), 2515/172 provides for confirmation that owners of
pressurized-water reactors (PWRs) have implemented the industry guidelines of the
Materials Reliability Program (MRP) -139 regarding nondestructive examination and
evaluation of certain dissimilar metal welds in the RCS containing nickel based Alloys
600/82/182.
During 1 R20 PSEG inspected the dissimilar metal weld on the 1'" reactor vessel drain
piping with no detected indications. Salem Unit 1 has dissimilar metal welds in the eight
reactor coolant system piping to reactor vessel nozzle safe end welds. No additional
inspections or MSIP applications were performed during 1 R20.
6
This TI requires documentation of specific questions in an inspection report. The
questions and responses for the IR 05000272/2010003 section 40A5 are included in
this report as Attachment "B-I".
b.
Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
40A6 Meetings, including Exit
The inspectors presented the ISI inspection and TI 2515/172 inspection results to Mr. Ed
Eilola, Salem Plant Manager, and other members of the PSEG staff at the conclusion of
the inspection at an exit meeting on June 28, 2010 for Salem Unit 1. The licensee
acknowledged the conclusions and observations presented. Some proprietary
information was reviewed during this inspection and was properly destroyed. No
proprietary information is contained in this report.
40A7 Licensee Identified Violations
The following finding of very low safety significance was identified by PSEG and is a
violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion Ill, Design Control, an NRC requirement.
PSEG did not provide an effective protective coating for the buried AFW piping. This
issue has been evaluated via IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Screening and
Characterization of Findings and IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening.
During a planned excavation and inspection of the Unit 1 AFW buried piping to SG #12
and SG #14, PSEG identified severe corrosion (significantly below minimum wall
thickness) of the safety related, ASME Class 3, Seismic Class 1 piping. The area of the
worst corrosion resulted in a wall thickness of 0.077". PSEG repaired or replaced the
affected Unit 1 buried AFW piping before returning the plant to operation.
This finding affects the mitigating systems cornerstone by affecting the secondary, short
term decay heat removal capability. Because the finding did not result in loss of
operability or functionality the inspector determined that the finding was of very low
safety significance, Green. The inspector determined that a Cross Cutting Aspect did
not exist because the issue was not indicative of current performance because the
condition existed since 1977.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion Ill, Design Control, states, in part "Measures shall be
established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis,
for those structures, systems, and components to which this appendix applies are
correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. These
measures shall include provisions to assure that appropriate quality standards are
specified and included in design documents and that deviations from such standards are
controlled. Measures shall also be established for the selection and review for suitability
of application of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the
safety-related functions of the structures, systems and components."
7
Contrary to these requirements, PSEG did not provide engineering evaluations, vendor
certification, or testing data to demonstrate that the specified coating would protect the
buried AFW piping for the design lifetime of the plant. Also, PSEG did not assure
appropriate quality standards which assure that deviations from such standards were
controlled. Additionally, PSEG did not provide measures for the selection and review for
suitability of the coating materials for the buried AFW piping application, for periodic
inspections to ensure that the applied coating was protecting the buried AFW piping, and
did not provide engineering details demonstrating the ability of the coating to protect the
buried AFW piping for the design life of the plant.
Because PSEG entered this condition into the corrective action process (Notification
20456999) and because the issue is of very low safety significance (Green), this issue is
being treated as a non-cited violation consistent with Section VI.A. 1 of the NRC
Enforcement Policy. NCV 50-272/2010003-??

TI 172 MSIP Documentation Questions Salem Unit 1
Introduction:
The Temporary Instruction (TI), 2515/172 provides for confirmation that owners of
pressurized-water reactors (PWRs) have implemented the industry guidelines of the
Materials Reliability Program (MRP) -139 regarding nondestructive examination and
evaluation of certain dissimilar metal welds in the RCS containing nickel based Alloys
600/82/182. This TI requires documentation of specific questions in an inspection report.
The questions and responses for MSIP for the IR 05000311/2009005 section 40A5 are
included in this Attachment "B-1 ".
In summary the Salem Units 1 and 2 have MRP-1 39 applicable Alloy 600/82/182 RCS.
welds in the four hot and four cold leg piping to reactor pressure vessel nozzle
connections for each plant.
For Unit 1 during the 1R20 refueling outage in April 2010 PSEG inspected one dissimilar metal
weld, a SG channel head drain line weld. No indications were reported from this inspection.
PSEG plans on replacing this valve, and the dissimilar metal weld, during refueling outage
1 R22.
TI 2515/172 requires the followinq questions to be answered for MRP-139 MSIP inspections:
Question 1: For each mechanical stress improvement used by the licensee during the Salem Ul
1 R20 outage, was the activity performed in accordance with a documented qualification report
for stress improvement processes and in accordance with demonstrated procedures?
Response Question 1: No MSIP activities were conducted on Ul during 1 R20.
Question d.1: Are the nozzle, weld, safe end, and pipe configurations, as applicable, consistent
with the configuration addressed in the stress improvement (SI) qualification report?
Response - Question d.1: No MSIP activities were conducted on Ul during 1 R20.
Question d.2.: Does the SI qualification report address the location radial loading is applied, the
applied load, and the effect that plastic deformation of the pipe configuration may have on the
ability to conduct volumetric examinations?
Response Question d.2: No MSIP activities were conducted on U1 during 1R20.
Question d.3.: Do the licensee's inspection procedure records document that a volumetric
examination per the ASME Code,Section XI, Appendix VIII was performed prior to and after the
application of the MSIP?
Response: Question d.3.: No MSIP activities were conducted on Ul during 1 R20.
A-15
Question d.4.: Does the SI qualification report address limiting flaw sizes that may be found
during pre-SI and post-SI inspections and that any flaws identified during the volumetric
examination are to be within the limiting flaw sizes established by the SI qualification
report?
Response: Question d.4.: No MSIP activities were conducted on U1 during 1 R20.
Question d.5.: Was the MSIP performed such that deficiencies were identified, dispositioned,
and resolved?
Response Question d.5.: No MSIP activities were conducted on U1 during 1 R20.
