Associated SLRA Revisions:
SLRA Section 17.2.2.28, Table 17-3 and Section B.2.3.28 are amended as indicated by the following text deletion (strikethrough) and text addition (bold red underlined font) revisions. SLRA text additions made by previous RAI responses are indicated by bold black underlined font.
Revise the fourth paragraph and following table of SLRA Section 17.2.2.28 on page A-33 as follows:
Inspections are conducted by qualified individuals. Where the coatings, backfill or the condition of exposed piping does not meet acceptance criteria, such that the depth or extent of degradation of the base metal could have resulted in a loss of pressure boundary function when the loss of material rate is extrapolated to the end of the SPEO, an increase in the sample size is conducted. Direct visual inspection§. are performed on the external surfaces, protective coatings, wrappings, quality of backfill and wall thickness measurements using NOE techniques.
Additional inspections are performed on steel piping in lieu of fire main testing. The fire water system jockey pump activity (or a similar parameter) will be monitored for unusual trends. The table below provides additional information related to inspections. Preventative Action Category F has been initially selected for monitoring steel piping (which includes cast iron piping) during the initial monitoring period since the cathodic protection system will not be operational during that time period._ prior to the SPEO. A cathodic protection system for buried steel and cementitious piping for systems within the scope of SLR will be installed no later than nine years prior to the SPEO. The intent is to satisfy conditions of Preventive Action Category C in NUREG-2191 1 Table XI.M41-2.
for inspections of buried steel piping during the SPEO (four inspections during
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 NRC RAI No. B.2.3.28-1 b Updated Response L-2019-114 Attachment Page 2 of 6 each ten-year period). As part of the cathodic protection system installation, FPL will also perform soil corrosivity testing per Item E.b.iii of Table XI.M41-2 of NUREG-2191. If after five years of operation the cathodic protection system does not meet the effectiveness acceptance criteria defined by NUREG-2191, Tables XI.M41-2 and -3 (-850 mV relative to a CSE, instant off, for at least 80% of the time, and in operation for at least 85% of the time), the number of inspections to be performed will be as follows:
If soil testing has determined the soil is not corrosive per Item E.b.iii of Table XI.M41-2 of NUREG-2191 (including a minimum soil resistivity value of 10,000 ohm-cm), FPL commits to performing two additional buried steel piping inspections beyond the number required by Preventive Action Category F. This would result in a total of thirteen inspections being completed six months prior to the SPEO.
If soil testing has determined the soil is corrosive per Item E.b.iii of Table XI.M41-2 of NUREG-2191, FPL commits to performing five additional buried steel piping inspections beyond the number required by Preventive Action Category F. This would result in a total of sixteen inspections being completed six months prior to the SPEO.
Based on the cathodic protection survey results and OE gathered prior to the SPEO, the preventive action category and number of inspections may be changed depending on which set of preventive actions listed GALL-SLR Table XI.M41-2 are satisfied at the time. The currently planned number of inspections for each 10-year inspection period, commencing 10 years prior to the start of SPEO, are based on the inspection quantities noted in Table XI.M41-2, adjusted for a 2-Unit plant site as shown in the table below. Once cathodic protection is installed for steel piping, annual cathodic protection surveys are conducted. For steel components, the acceptance criteria for the effectiveness of the cathodic protection is -850 mV relative to a copper/copper sulfate reference electrode, instant off, for at least 80%
of the time, and in operation for at least 85% of the time for five years. A reduction in the number of inspections based on a lack of soil corrosivity is not taken so soil testing is not conducted.

Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 NRC RAI No. B.2.3.28-1 b Updated Response L-2019-114 Attachment Page 5 of 6 Revise current SLRA Section B.2.3.28 page B-219 paragraph 3 under "Preventive measures" (updated per page 5 of 6 of Attachment 25 to Ref. 2) as follows:
PTN currently does not have a cathodic protection system for buried and underground piping. The original plant design assumed that based on the use of the limerock fill around the buried piping the groundwater would migrate to the water table and not be retained in the vicinity of the piping. Due to the high permeability of the limerock, corrosion was not expected to be a significant influence. Regardless, in accordance with the requirements of GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M41, a cathodic protection system will be installed at least nine years prior to SPEO. Because of operating experience related to past corrosion of buried pipe at PTN, a cathodic protection system will be installed in accordance
- with the requirements of GALL SLR Report AMP XI.M41 at least 7 years prior to the SPEO. Once cathodic protection is installed for steel piping, annual cathodic protection surveys are conducted so that adequate effectiveness can be demonstrated during the first inspection period. For steel components, the acceptance criteria for the effectiveness of tRe-cathodic protection is -850 mV relative to a copper/copper sulfate reference electrode, instant off, for at least 80%
of the time, and in operation for at least 85% of the time for five years.

In addition, PTN has experienced a number of pipe leaks and/or breaks in buried piping.
Most of these pipe breaks have been in the piping for the fire water and service water systems. These breaks have been documented in the CAP. A review of the documentation in the CAP indicates that typically they have been Only one minor (pin-hole) leak has occurred on buried piping in the scope of SLR This pin-hole leak was caused by ~ localized corrosion cell. These breaks have been The leak was repaired and the piping returned to service.
