Dear Sir or Madam:
From August 1 - 3, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted a supplemental, on-site regulatory audit to gain a better understanding of Entergy Nuclear
NL-17-155 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Page 2 of 3 Operations, lnc.'s (Entergy) response to the request for additional information (RAI), submitted by letter dated May 8, 2017 and new plant-specific operating experience related to the Service Water Integrity Aging Management Program. Following the completion of the audit, the NRC staff issued an audit report, which identified several areas where the aging management activities for the Service Water System warrant additional clarification or further information.
By letter dated November 8, 2017 (Reference 1), Entergy provided supplemental information regarding the Service Water Integrity Aging Management Program in response to the August 1
- 3, 2017 on-site regulatory audit. On November 30, 2017, a conference call was held between the NRC and Entergy to clarify Entergy's responses for Audit Items 3 and 6 as discussed in Reference 1. Attachment 1 provides additional information to clarify the areas identified in the audit report (References 2 and 3). Since this letter revises our previous responses to Audit Items 3 and 6, it replaces Reference 1 in its entirety.
Changes to the LRA sections resulting from the information provided in Attachment 1 and other administrative changes are provided in Attachment 2. Changes to the List of Regulatory Commitments are provided in Attachment 3.
By Reference 5, Entergy informed-the NRC of its expectation to cease electric-generating operations at IP2 by April 30, 2020, and at IP3 by April 30, 2021, respectively, subject to potential operating extensions through, but not beyond, 2024 and 2025, under very limited circumstances. Accordingly, Entergy believes that the additional information and enhancements to the Service Water Integrity Aging Management Program described in Attachment 1 provide more than reasonable assurance that the Service Water System will continue to perform its intended functions for the limited remaining operating times of IP2 and IP3.
- If you have any questions, or require additional information, please contact Mr. Robert Walpole at 914-254-6710.

- 1. NRC AUDIT REPORT ITEM Installation of External Carbon Fiber Wrap on Zurn Strainer Pit Service Water Piping. Based on information provided by NRC regional and resident staff members, the applicant had applied a nonstructural external coating of composite (carbon fiber epoxy) material on portions of the service water piping in the Zurn strainer pits. According to the applicant, this was done to protect the pipe from mechanical damage or loss of material due to external corrosion. The applicant recognized the potential that with installation of the external coating, leakage as a result of internal corrosion might not be evident through the external coating. The applicant had previously sponsored a test to show that leakage from a small hole in the pipe would be detectable through the coating. The staff was concerned that some of the Service Water Integrity program's periodic visual inspections would no longer be effective if leakage could be masked by the coating, because a significant precursor to loss of structural integrity would be lost.
In order to evaluate the coating's effect on visual inspection effectiveness, the staff reviewed the associated test report, IP-RPT-14-00022, "External Lining for Safety Related Service Water Piping." The test included: (a) two test pieces with either a 0.375 inch or a 0.500 inch drilled hole; (b) a single layer of unidirectional .carbon fiber material applied with primer, wet-out, and top coat epoxies; (c) a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> curing time; (d) a beginning hydrostatic test pressure of 70 pounds per square inch gauge (psig), with increases in 10 psig increments up to 100 psig; and (e) periodic observations looking for loss of hydrostatic test pressure. The test report indicated that leakage from the 0.500 inch hole occurred between 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and 23 hours2.662037e-4 days <br />0.00639 hours <br />3.80291e-5 weeks <br />8.7515e-6 months <br />, and leakage from the 0.375 inch hole occurred after approximately 12 days. The leak path for both tests was identified not as penetrating through the coating itself but as extending from the drilled holes along the axis of the pipe to the edge of the coating.
During discussions, the plant staff acknowledged that the operating pressure, at locations where the carbon fiber material was installed, is lower than the pressure (100 psig) at which leakage occurred during the test. In addition, during its walkdown of the installations, the NRC staff noted that some overlapping of the carbon fiber material occurred on elbows, such that it was no longer a single layer of material. The NRC staff also noted that the installed length of the coating in some cases appeared to be greater than the coating length in the test. In addition, because it took considerably longer for leakage to be detected from the 0.375-inch hole compared to the 0.500-inch hole, the ability to detect leakage from much smaller holes (which have provided the bulk of the past operating experience where structural integrity has not been challenged) is uncertain.
Based on the above, it was not clear to the staff that the test parameters bounded the parameters of the installed coating locations and configurations. As a result, the staff questioned whether the effectiveness of the Service Water Integrity program's visual inspections was substantially diminished by the installation of the external, nonstructural carbon fiber coating. In order to address the potential masking effect of the carbon fiber coating, the staff needs additional information describing alternative inspection techniques, including the quantity, frequency, and extent, to compensate for the inability to credit periodic visual inspections.

RESPONSE
In the carbon fiber-wrapped portions of the system located in the Zurn strainer pits, leakage as a result of internal corrosion occurs at or near welded joints due to designed gaps in the cement lining. As an alternative to performing visual inspections for leakage at the subject carbon fiber-wrapped locations in the service water strainer pits, Entergy will perform volumetric NDE, such as radiography of the affected welds during the period of extended operation (PEO). Entergy will perform the NDE at IP2 and IP3 during each unit's respective refueling outage interval. The total number of inspections to be performed will be 20 percent of the total affected weld population, up to a maximum of 25 during each 10-year operating interval. Radiography will provide sufficient data to allow detection of piping degradation.
The LRA is revised as shown in Attachment 2 with additions underlined and deletions lined through.
- 2. NRC AUDIT REPORT ITEM Installation of External Carbon Fiber Repair on Service Water Pipe Weld PAB-204. The staff reviewed engineering change (EC) 61654 and noted that the repair of the non-safety-related pipe was "designed to act as the original piping should the weld fail and structural integrity compromised." The EC specified that the installation include: (a) seven layers of wrap, (b) a 6 inch overlap, and (c) a minimum total wrap length of 6 feet upstream and downstream of the weld. The staff reviewed WO 00404774-01 and noted that, except for the specified overlap at the elbow, all installation parameters were met. For the overlap at the elbow, the staff reviewed ECN 72788 for allowing the field to fit up the carbon fiber wrap with additional layers to compensate for the inability to uniformly obtain a 6 inch overlap.
Becaus.e the credited piping material changed from carbon steel to a nonmetallic composite, Entergy may need to address different aging effects with different inspection requirements. In addition Entergy may need alternate inspection techniques, because the inability to detect leakage through the composite material may not allow the detection of ongoing internal corrosion at locations where structural integrity is needed at the carbon steel-to-nonmetallic composite interface. To address the issues introduced by this repair, the staff needs additional information regarding: a) the aging effects that need to be managed for the nonmetallic composite material (with associated aging management program, if applicable) and b) confirmation that degradation of cement-lined service water piping has not occurred at locations other than at welds (e.g. mid-span between welds) such that alternate inspection requirements would be needed to confirm the structural integrity near the carbon steel to nonmetallic composite interface locations.
RESPONSE
A section of IP3 24-inch diameter service water return piping, including an elbow, was overlaid with carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy at elevation 41 feet in the primary auxiliary building due to corrosion adjacent to the downstream elbow to pipe weld. The carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy overlay provides strength and design characteristics equivalent to the original piping. The piping was prepared prior to application to ensure that the carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy material properly adheres to the pipe.
NL-17-155 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 11 Aging effects that could occur for the carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy were evaluated.
The carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy material is a bidirectional carbon fiber fabric saturated with epoxy resin. Because the internal surface of the carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy coating is tightly adhered to the carbon steel surface of the piping, no aging effects requiri11g management could occur without a through-wall leak in the underlying carbon steel piping. The minimum wall thickness of the piping was 0.121 inches in January, 2015, after approximately 40 years of operation. This corresponds to a corrosion rate of approximately 0.006 inches per year. At IP3, the assumed service water piping corrosion rate is 0.012 inches per year. Using a corrosion rate of just less than 0.012 inches per year instead of the calculated corrosion rate, localized corrosion would not be through-wall by April 30, 2025. As discussed in Reference 5, Entergy has filed an amendment to the IPEC License Renewal Application (LRA) changing the end date of the proposed term of the renewed license for IP3 to April 30, 2025. Based on this, the internal surface of the carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy is not expected to be in contact with raw water prior to the end of the renewed license term. Therefore, a line item with an internal environment for the carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy is not necessary in revised LRA Table 3.3.2-2-IP3.
The external surface of the carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy is exposed to a cool indoor air environment with low light exposure, conditions that minimize the potential for aging effects due to temperature or ultraviolet light. In addition, the raw discharge water (service water) flowing through the piping is heated from the numerous loads that it cools, thereby reducing the potential for condensation. Although aging effects would be minimized due to these operating conditions, operating experience relative to long-term aging effects of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy installations at nuclear plants is limited. As a result, aging effects will conservatively be identified for the carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy. Since the carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy entails fibrous material similar to fiberglass and both utilize epoxy, aging effects applicable to fiberglass are deemed potential aging effects. Cracking, blistering, and loss of material are conservatively identified as aging effects for the carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy external surface. Visual inspection performe~ in accordance with the Periodic Surveillance and Preventive Maintenance Program will manage these aging effects.
Entergy reviewed relevant OE of the service water system for the period of 2004-2016 and did not find relevant examples of leakage of the concrete lined piping at locations "mid-span" of the carbon steel welds. Therefore, no alternate inspection requirements are needed to confirm structural integrity near the carbon steel to nonmetallic composite interface locations.
The LRA is revised as shown in Attachment 2 with additions underlined and deletions lined through.

- 3. NRC AUDIT REPORT ITEM Use of 6 Percent Molybdenum Stainless Steel (AL-6XN).
LER 247/2013-004 addresses pitting corrosion of 300 series stainless steel service water piping that was replaced with 6 percent molybdenum stainless steel (AL-6XN). Based on industry operating experience, the staff noted that, because AL-6XN has a more positive corrosion potential than 300 series stainless steels, the introduction of AL-6XN can increase the susceptibility of carbon steel to galvanic corrosion. During a breakout session, the applicant noted that the service water system contains dissimilar-metal flanged joints between carbon steel and AL-6XN, as well as 300 series stainless steel. Consequently, the staff questioned whether AL-6XN flanged components should be considered as a unique population within the Service Water Integrity program. During discussions, the plant staff stated that AL-6XN is sufficiently similar to 300 series stainless steels that components made from AL-6XN do not need to be considered as unique populations; however, the plant staff noted that the similarity.is based on whether the surfaces of the stainless steel components have been passivated and the grade of 300 series stainless steel.
During its subsequent review of the Service Water Piping Specification (9321-01-248 35), the staff noted that the applicant had previously removed the requirement for the use of insulating kits on dissimilar-metal flanged joints. Because the absence of insulating kits increases the susceptibility of carbon steel to loss of material due to galvanic corrosion, it was not clear to the staff that the condition or absence of insulating kits on dissimilar-metal flanged joints could be disregarded. In order address the issues introduced by these changes, the staff needs additional information to determine whether current inspection of dissimilar-metal flanged connections can be credited by the Service Water Integrity program and whether AL-6XN needs to be considered as a unique population for these activities. The information needed by the staff includes: a) the difference in the corrosion potential of the stainless steel alloy(s) used in the service water system and the corrosion potential of AL-6XN, b) the environment in the vicinity of the 300 series stainless steel/carbon steel and AL-6XN/carbon steel joints, c) the coatings in the vicinity of the 300 series stainless steel/carbon steel and AL-6XN/carbon steel joints, and d) whether current inspections account for greater susceptibility to galvanic corrosion when insulating kits are not used.
RESPONSE
An overall response is provided below, after the NRC's specific questions a) through d) are addressed.
Item a) the difference in the corrosion potential of the stainless steel alloy(s) used in the service water system and the corrosion potential of AL-6XN.
Response a):
AL-6XN tested in seawater has a O volts assignment. 1 The 300-series stainless steels voltage is approximately 0.0 to -0.13 volts. 2 1
AL-6XN ATI Technical brochure
NL-17-155 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 5 of 11 Item b) the environments in the vicinity of the 300 series stainless steel/carbon steel and AL-6XN/carbon steel joints.
Response b):
As delineated in the LRA, the Service Water System has the following environments:
- Raw water (internal and external)
- Condensation (external)
- Treated water (internal and external)
- Air - indoor (internal and external)
- Air - outdoor (external)
- Soil (external)
The majority of the joints between carbon steel and AL-6XN or between carbon steel and stainless steel have an internal environment of raw water and an external environment of air or condensation.
Item c) the coatings in the vicinity of the 300 series stainless steel/carbon steel and AL-6XN/carbon steel joints.
Response c):
Generally, carbon steel piping 2" or greater in diameter is internally coated with cement.
Cement lining repairs are made using internal coatings such as Waterplug, Enecon, or Belzona. The 300-series stainless steel grades, AL-6XN, and Avesta 254 SMO are not 3
internally coated. The faces of some 300-series stainless steel and carbon steel flanges may be coated, in whole or in part, with Enecon and/or Belzona products for corrosion repair and/or prevention purposes.
Item d) Whether current inspections account for greater susceptibility to galvanic corrosion when insulating kits are not used.
Response d):
Past Service Water Integrity Program inspections have not accounted for greater susceptibility to galvanic corrosion when insulating kits are not installed. The program focuses on the inspection of piping and pipe welds, which include dissimilar metal flange carbon steel butt welds.

Conclusion:
Entergy staff previously determined that insulating kits were not necessary and subsequently revised design specifications for IP2 and IP3 to remove the requirement for insulating kits. Therefore, the Service Water System contains dissimilar metal flanged joints both with and without insulating kits.
In addition to 6 percent molybdenum AL-6XN, another alloy, Avesta 254 SMO is used at IPEC. Although AL-6XN and Avesta 254 SMO have slightly different chemical compositions, they are considered equivalent materials. As an example, AL-6XN contains approximately 6 to 7 percent molybdenum, while Avesta 254 SMO contains 6 to 6.5 percent molybdenum.
The galvanic potential of AL-6XN is similar to the galvanic potential of 300-series stainless steels. Avesta 254 SMO has a material composition similar to AL-6XN and is expected to have a similar galvanic potential. Because of the similar galvanic potentials, galvanic corrosion rates are also expected to be similar when these materials are in contact with carbon steel. Therefore, Entergy will perform inspections for indications of galvanic corrosion from a combined population of joints where carbon steel is connected to AL-6XN or Avesta 254 SMO or 300-series stainless steel.
In order to ensure that loss of material due to galvanic corrosion is not affecting the ability of the Service Water System to perform its intended function, the following enhancement will be implemented.
Revise the Service Water Integrity Program procedures to perform internal and external visual inspections where feasible of flanged connections (including flange faces, bolting, and welds) where carbon steel is in contact with AL-6XN, Avesta 254 SMO, or 300-series stainless steel. The inspection population will be limited to dissimilar metal joints without galvanic insulating kits. Inspections will focus on the bounding or lead components most susceptible to galvanic corrosion based on time in service and severity of operating conditions. Inspections will monitor for evidence of loss of material due to galvanic corrosion on a representative sample consisting of 20 percent of the population up to a maximum of 25 inspections during each 10-year period of the period of extended operation. If significant loss of material is identified by the visual inspections, additional volumetric NOE will be performed to characterize the extent of the degradation.
The LRA is revised as shown in Attachment 2 with additions underlined and deletions lined through.
- 4. NRC AUDIT REPORT ITEM Assessment of Through-Wall Leak Discussed in Relief Request 3:-43. The staff had previously asked about changes made to the Service Water Integrity program as a result of situations like relief request 3-43, where the applicant's predictive monitoring methodology did not appear to be conservative. In its response dated May 8, 2017, the applicant stated that a contributing cause of the leak associated with relief request 3-43 was a less than adequate repair of a
NL-17-155 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 7 of 11 previous leak. The applicant also stated that it had recently implemented a program improvement to prevent recurrence of events related to inadequate repairs through the development of engineering report IP-RPT-16-00046, "IPEC Service Water Piping Weld Repair Process and Re-Inspection Frequency Guidelines." (See below for the staff's review of this document.)
As part of its responses to RAls for relief request 3-43, by letter dated October 3, 2007, (ADAMS Accession No. ML072890132) the applicant stated that a "final assessment of why a new through-wall leak developed near the area of the prior repair has not been completed." The staff requested a copy of the referenced assessment in order to determine whether changes to the program addressed all of the potentially non-conservative aspects of the predictive monitoring methodology associated with the relief request. However, the applicant could not locate the referenced assessment while the audit team was on site. During breakout sessions, the applicant indicated that changes made to the program since the 2007 event, including the recently issued engineering report IP-RPT-16-00046, have addressed all of the issues related to the event. It was not clear to the staff whether additional changes to the program were warranted based on the circumstances surrounding the relief request, without additional information from the applicant to support its position.
RESPONSE
Entergy has developed a comprehensive approach for dealing with future issues such as the one described in relief request (RR) 3-43. Engineering report IP-RPT-16-00046, "IPEC Service Water Piping Weld Repair Process and Re-Inspection Frequency Guidelines" provides consistent repair methods and guidelines for subsequent re-inspections during the PEO. The guidelines of this report, which the NRC staff reviewed during its August 2017 on-site audit, provide reasonable assurance that future losses of function as described in the subject relief request will be prevented. It provides clear direction and utilizes engineering expertise and operating experience to ensure future repairs will be performed adequately. It also provides specific guidance on determining the appropriate times for re-inspection to ensure that when degradation is found, a scheduled follow-up will occur based on an official calculation by the engineering department. Entergy will add instructions to Service Water Integrity Program implementing procedures to implement the guidelines of report IP-RPT-16-00046. Based on this information, there is reasonable assurance that the issue described in relief request RR 3-43 will not recur during the PEO.
The LRA is revised as shown in Attachment 2 with additions underlined and deletions lined through.
- 5. NRC AUDIT REPORT ITEM Review of Service Water Piping Weld Repair Process and Re Inspection Frequency Guideline, (IP-RPT-16-00046). In its RAI response dated May 8, 2017, the applicant stated that, as a program improvement to prevent recurrence of events related to inadequate repairs, it had recently implemented IP-RPT-16-00046. As part of the audit, the staff reviewed the cited guideline and noted that the document provides guidance related to:
J
NL-17-155 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 8 of 11
- ensuring ultrasonic inspection data sufficiently characterizes the extent of degradation (e.g., extent of readings, grid size) through cqordination between inspection personnel and design engineers,
- developing formal calculations in accordance with EN-CS-S-008-MULTl to determine the extent of repairs and the timing of follow on inspections,
- determining the number and extent of required repairs,
- considering the impact of welding on the integrity of the pipe internal lining, and
- determining the re-inspection interval based on weld repair configuration (e.g., full penetration weld, partial penetration weld, weld overlay), minimum wall thickness requirements, and corrosion allowance.
Although the staff did not identify any issues with this new guidance, the staff noted that the current version of the Service Water Integrity program, which was issued prior to the new guidance, does not cite IP-RPT-16-00046. During subsequent discussions,* the applicant acknowledged that the program should be enhanced to credit the newly implemented guidance.
RESPONSE
As discussed above in response to NRC audit report Item 4, Entergy will add instructions to Service Water Integrity Program implementing procedures to implement the guidelines of report IP-RPT-16-00046.
The LRA is revised as shown in Attachment 2 with additions underlined and deletions lined through.
- 6. NRC AUDIT REPORT ITEM Corrective Actions for Inoperable Containment Due to Leaks in Service Water Piping. In its RAI response dated May 8, 2017, the applicant addressed LERs 247/2015-001, 247/2015 004, 247/2016-010, and 286/2016-001 that all relate to inoperable containment due to leaks in service water system fan cooler unit piping. For the two Unit 2 events in 2015, the applicant stated that flow rates were higher than necessary leading to flow-accelerated corrosion at the weld joint, and the program was not changed because the issues did not involve deficiencies in the Service Water Integrity program.
Since service water systems are not susceptible to flow-accelerated corrosion, but are susceptible to erosion, and because the Service Water Integrity program includes inspections for erosion, it was not clear to the staff that the Unit 2 events did not involve deficiencies in the program.
The staff reviewed Report No. F15565-R-001, "Evaluation of Wall Thinning of Fan Cooler Unit Elbow, Indian Point Unit 2," that determined the nature and root cause of the associated leaks.
The report concludes that the "leakage of the elbow occurred as a result of flow accelerated corrosion attack as a direct consequence of high flow rates and turbulence created by the sharp ridge on the inner surface at the intrados of the elbow." The staff noted that the loss of material occurred only on the side of the elbows.
NL-17-155 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 9 of 11 As part of its review, the staff independently noted that industry guidance in NSAC-202L, "Recommendations for an Effective Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program," excludes systems with high levels of dissolve oxygen (greater than 1000 ppb) such as service water systems because they are not susceptible to flow-accelerated corrosion. Consequently, the staff did not agree with the root cause report's conclusion that the leak was caused by flow-accelerated corrosion. In addition, based on the leak locations (on the sides of the elbows), the staff noted the similarity with re-circulation cavitation, which appear to be associated with the broader issues addressed in LR ISG 2012-01, "Wall Thinning Due to Erosion Mechanisms."
The applicant's RAI response dated May 8, 2017, describes the corrective actions for the leak as adjusting system flow rates to lower the fluid velocity in the affected piping. The staff agrees that this change to the system operating parameter would reduce the loss of material rate, but as noted in the above cited LR ISG, the effectiveness of the corrective actions, which eliminate the source of an erosion mechanism, should be verified. During the audit, the applicant acknowledged that additional activities would be needed to verify that the reduced flow rates resolve the loss of material issue.
For the Unit 3 event in 2016, corrective actions specified in LER 286/2016-001 included revising the Generic Letter 89-13 program to include a requirement to conduct a definitive number of volumetric inspection for welds made of 904L material each pre-outage interval. Although specified in the LER (dated December 21, 2016), the applicant's RAI response discussing this LER (dated May 8, 2017), did not include any information about this change to the program.
During its review of the associated corrective action document (CR-IP3-2016-03607, CA No.
27), the staff noted that the applicant will inspect 13 of the 904L welds each pre outage interval.
However, the corrective action document also states that the acceptance criteria for the selected sample will be that specified in ASME Code Case N-513-3. As previously discussed in RAI 3.0.3-10-2a (see Entergy's RAI response dated May 8, 2017), loss of structural integrity, which is the basis for the Code Case N 513 3 acceptance criteria, may not be an appropriate acceptance criteria for all situations.
Given that the service water system leak causing the containment to be inoperable apparently met structural integrity criteria, it was not clear to the staff that criteria from Code Case N-513-3 would be appropriate acceptance criteria for the periodic inspections of 904L welds. Since Code Case N-513-3 allows leakage and specifically does not address the consequences of leakage, the specified acceptance criteria for the periodic sample of 904L welds would not maintain intended functions consistent with the current licensing basis. In order to complete its review of the Service Water Integrity program, the staff needs additional information that clarifies the adequacy of the acceptance criteria for the 904L weld inspections.
In a related area, the staff noted that in its RAI response dated May 8, 2017, the applicant described the cause of pin-hole leaks in LER 247/2013-004 as "improper material use." As clarified by its letter dated June 27, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17187A140), the applicant stated that the term was intended to refer to the inability to characterize degradation associated with the configuration of socket welded fittings. The applicant also stated that 300 series stainless steel material remains in use in the service water system and the "requirements for
- Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 10 of 11 NOE [non-destructive examination] of 300 series stainless steel piping are already included in the scope of the Service Water Integrity program."
The staff notes that, while stainless steel piping is included within the scope of the program, the program's only NOE "requirements" would be periodic visual inspections of the piping looking for leakage. Similar to the previous discussion for the 904L welds, if there is stainless steel service water piping inside containment, then the detection of aging effects by only using visual inspections (based on past operating experience) would not maintain intended functions consistent with the current licensing basis. In order to complete its review, the staff needs additional information to clarify whether the Service Water Integrity program includes sufficient non-destructive requirements of stainless steel piping where leakage due to localized corrosion (e.g., pitting) can cause a loss of intended function.
RESPONSE
With respect to the erosion issues noted in the copper-nickel material service water piping elbows at IP2, the corrective action of reducing the flow rates through the elbows was implemented in 2016. Based on the service time with the previous flow rates that resulted in the erosion observed in 2015, it is expected that at least 15 years of operation at the reduced flow rate would be necessary to cause appreciable wall thinning in the replaced elbows. The requested end date for the IP2 renewed license is 2024, which is eight years from when corrective action to reduce flow velocity was implemented in 2016. Therefore, further activities to verify effectiveness of the reduced flow rates are not warranted prior to the end of the requested term of the renewed license.
For the IP3 event in 2016, corrective actions specified in LER 286/2016-001 included revising the Generic Letter 89-13 program to include a requirement to conduct a definitive number of volumetric inspections for welds made of 904L material each pre-outage interval. This change will be delineated in the SWIP and will be added to the program document as an enhancement.
The change, which only affects IP3 since IP2 does not use 904L stainless steel material, will require that 20 percent of the total welds up to a maximum of 25 be volumetrically inspected in each 10-year interval in the PEO. This enhancement will provide reasonable assurance that future losses of function similar to those described in the referenced LER's will not occur.
In addition, Entergy has developed an engineering report (IP-RPT-17-00062) related to small leaks that occur on the subject piping inside the containment buildings. This report establishes a leak rate threshold below which a leak would not result in a conclusion of a loss of safety function. Previously, any leak in the service water piping inside the containment building was considered a loss of containment safety function since Service Water piping within containment is a closed system. With this engineering report, that will no longer be the case for small leaks.
Thus, this report provides the acceptance criteria for maintaining containment integrity for small through-wall flaws within containment at both units. As all piping within the containments are ISi Class 3, in conjunction with this new report, ASME Code Case N-513-3 will continue to be used for the evaluation and acceptance of piping structural integrity, as well for extent of condition requirements. Entergy will add instructions to Service Water Integrity Program implementing documents to incorporate the guidance of report IP-RPT-17-00062 regarding evaluation of containment operability based on the service water piping leak rate.
NL-17-155 Docket Nos. 50-24 7 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 11 of 11 For the issue related to 300-series SS piping material, Entergy has conducted a review of the service water system piping material inside the containment buildings for both Unit 2 and 3. The review determined that the 300-series SS is not installed in those locations and no further actions are necessary.

- 7. NRC AUDIT REPORT ITEM Service Water Integrity Program Extent of Condition Inspections. The staff reviewed SEP-SW-IPC-001, "NRC Generic Letter 89-13 Service Water Program," and noted that scope expansion (extent of condition) inspections used qualitative criteria. Examples include: engineering judgment, previous inspection history, materials, etc. The staff noted that the previous enhancement to the Service Water Integrity program, regarding minimum numbers of welds to be inspected, including extent of condition inspections, only applied to cement-lined piping.
(See Entergy letter dated December 2, 2016, ADAMS Accession No. ML16350A005). Other types of materials in the service water system were not addressed in the enhancement. The staff noted that extent of condition inspections should be conducted whenever inspection results do not meet acceptance criteria. In order to obtain the information necessary to verify whether the Service Water Integrity program extent of condition inspections will be adequate to provide reasonable assurance that the service water system will meet its intended function, the staff requires the following information:
- The specific number of increased inspections that will be conducted when degraded conditions are detected; or
- The criteria for determining the number of increased inspections based on the degree of degradation detected during inspections.
RESPONSE
Entergy will revise the Service Water Integrity Program procedures to require a minimum of 25 NDE volumetric inspections each refueling interval per unit. These inspections will include carbon steel and other types of materials in the Service Water systems. In addition, Entergy will revise the Service Water Integrity Program to provide for five extent-of-condition inspections for each inspection that discovers wall thickness that when projected to the end of the period of extended operation is less than the minimum allowable wall thickness. This applies to degradation of in-scope piping, regardless of its material or safety class. For portions of the system found degraded that are not covered by ASME Code Case N-513, volumetric inspection will be required unless those portions are configured in a manner that does not support NDE (e.g. socket we.Ids or fillet welds). These enhancements will provide reasonable assurance that each service water system will continue to meet its intended function through the period of extended operation.

o A representative sample of at least 25 inspections of city water piping will be performed at least every five years. In the event that the frequency of internal corrosion meets the criteria for recurring internal corrosion, the frequency of the representative sample of 25 inspections will be increased as follows:
- If >1 and <5 degraded locations are found in the five year interval, then as a minimum, 10 additional volumetric examinations of system welds will be performed during the following refueling interval.
- If >5 degraded locations are found, then a minimum of 15 additional volumetric examinations will be performed during the following refueling interval.
In addition to the above, for areas of piping that are found degraded and returned to service, the remaining service life will be calculated and the piping will be re-examined prior to the end of calculated life.
o The Periodic Surveillance and Preventive Maintenance Program procedures*will be revised to ensure city water piping that exhibits leaks will be locally repaired and restored to service on an interim basis presuming ultrasonic test data reflects adequate structural integrity to support interim operation. The affected piping segment will be entered into the 12-week work control schedule for replacement.

The program includes component
NL-17-155 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 2 Page 6 of 15 inspections for erosion, corrosion, and biofouling to verify the heat transfer capability of safety-related heat exchangers cooled by service water and monitoring of the silt levels in the intake bays. Chemical treatment using biocides and sodium hypochlorite and periodic cleaning and flushing of infrequently used loops are methods used to control fouling within the heat exchangers and to manage loss of material in service water components. Scheduling of nonsafety-related piping examinations is determined by trending of examination results.
Selection of large bore service water pipe points for volumetric inspection is based on piping configuration, results from previous inspections, consideration of follow-ups to previous repairs, and condition assessments when components are opened during preventive maintenance activities. Scope expansion for indications found by program inspections of nonsafety-related piping is based on engineering analysis, judgment and program experience. The factors that are considered include piping location, severity of use, piping materials, previous inspection results, and repair history.
The Service Water Integrity Program will be enhanced to include the following.
- Revise the appropriate procedures to incorporate actions to manage corrosion issues.
o When through-wall leaks are detected, the leakage is evaluated under the corrective action program, which includes operability or functionality assessment of structural integrity and determination of appropriate corrective action.
o Accessible portions of safety-related buried service water piping will be internally inspected by robotic crawler or manual crawl-through once during the first 10 years of the period of extended operation.
- Revise Service Water Integrity Program procedures by December 31, 2017 to address the following:
a) Perform a minimum of 25 volumetric NDE inspections each refueling interval per unit number of volumetric weld examinations for safety related SW piping. The volumetric examinations will determine the extent of wall thinning.
o Perform a minimum of 10 volumetric weld examinations for cement lined piping on the IP2 SVV system during each refueling interval.
o If >1 and <5 degraded locations are found in a specific refueling interval, then 10 additional volumetric examinations of system \*velds 'Nill be performed during the following refueling interval.
o If >5 degraded locations are found, then 15 additional volumetric examinations
'Nill be performed during the following refueling interval.
b) For areas of piping that are found degraded and returned to service, the remaining service life will be calculated and the piping will be re-examined prior to the end of calculated life.
NL-17-155 Docket Nos. 50-24 7 and 50-286 Attachment 2 Page 7 of 15 c) Require a minimum of 5 additional volumetric weld examinations if a through-wall leak is discovered in non-safety related portions of the SW system that are within the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2).
d) Increase the frequency of internal robotic inspections on the system headers at both units from once during the first 10 years of the period of extended operation to also include once during the second 10 years of the period of extended operation.
e) Review the SW system to identify areas where leakage from nonsafety-related SW piping could result in unacceptable flooding and ensure the nonsafety-related piping that can cause flooding concerns is clearly identified in the program documents. Specify volumetric examination of at least 20 percent of (up to a maximum of 25) non-safety related welds located in areas subject to flooding of safety-related equipment within each 10-year period of the PEO.
f) Specify a yearly OE review to identify any effects of aging reported on the SW system, specifically including any conditions that may have occurred in the prior year related to inadequate cement liner repairs.
g) Include guidance for lay-up of the SW process radiation monitoring system to minimize exposure of susceptible tubing to stagnant conditions.
h) Establish recurring internal corrosion goals for stagnant vent and drain connection piping. If these recurring internal goals are not met, the frequency for flushing stagnant vent and drain connection piping will be increased.
- The Service Water Integrity Program procedures will be revised to conduct and document a 100 percent internal lining visual inspection of the IP2 three inch fan cooler units (FCU) spool pieces when removed during FCU coil refueling outage preventive maintenance activities.
- The Service Water Integrity Program procedures will be revised to include generic flaw evaluation acceptance criteria based on ensuring structural integrity and leakage concerns. Program procedures will also be revised include generic Containment integrity leak rate acceptance criteria, depending on the location of a flaw. This will take the form of acceptance curves for flaw size to meet structural integrity versus pipe size, a curve for leak rate versus pipe size, and an acceptance curve for Containment integrity considering flaw size versus leak location. The intent is to provide for a rapid and easily performed assessment (i.e., operability determination) of a leak in the service water system within containment in either unit.
- The Service Water Integrity Program procedures will be revised to perform a formal review of a leak that causes a loss of function. This will include examining the cause of the leak and to determine if the aging management program remains adequate. If a new aging mechanism is found, it will also evaluate if a failure of the aging management program plan has occurred.

The redefinition IP2: NL-17-005 of the reactor coolant pressure boundary must be Not Applicable approved by the NRC as a license amendment request. IP3: Not Applicable Option 2 (Inspection)
IPEC will perform a one-time inspection of a representative number of tube-to-tubesheet welds in each steam generator to determine if PWSCC cracking is present. If weld cracking is identified:
- a. The condition will be resolved through repair or engineering evaluation to justify continued service, as appropriate, and
- b. An ongoing monitoring program will be established to perform routine tube-to-tubesheet weld inspections for the remaining life of the steam aenerators.
