Comment#
NRC Comment Based on discussions wrth NRG environmental reviewers, the water table can vary by feet at Surry due to tidal fluctuations 2
and seasonal changes. It is unclear why the selection of exploratory hole locations does not take into account the potential for high levels of groundwater.
On its October 31, 2019 letter, the applicant committed to:
"Prior to excavation, it shall be confirmed that the south side of the turbine building is not covered with a bitumastic coating below grade."
Since the surrogate structure may be coated, it is unclear why additional corrective actions would not also consider more frequent inspections of the concrete CW piping.
The commitment should clearly reflect that the applicant intends to confirm that the below grade concrete surface of the turbine building is bare concrete absent of any sort of material 5
covering its surface and is equivalent to the CW piping concrete surface.
Neither the staff nor applicant know whether the below grade concrete of the turbine building has any sort of water-resistant coating, membrane, or other material covering its surface and therefore rendering the concrete to not be equally exposed to the ground water environment that the CW piping bare concrete is.
The staff notes that if there's any type of material covering the concrete surface of the turbine building then the applicant can no longer claim that the turbine building concrete/environment is equivalent to that of the CW piping and therefore should Serial Nos.: 19-468 Docket Nos.: 50-280/281 Dominion Response Dominion will include consideration for seasonal variations to account for high levels of ground water as shown on the attached markup of SLRA page B-157, from Section 82.1.21, Selective Leaching.
Dominion has revised the indicated commitment to reflect that the south side of the Turbine Building be confirmed to be bare concrete below grade prior to excavation.
Bare concrete below grade will confirm that there is no material of any type covering the concrete surface of the Turbine Building; therefore, the Turbine Building concrete/environment is equivalent to that of the CW piping.
Markups for SLRA Table A4.0-1, Item 11 and excerpts from SLRA Sections 82.1.21 and 82.1.27 that reflect the above change are attached.
proceed Ol)IY to inspect the CW piping instead of a surrogate turbine building structure.
SLRA Section 82.1.27, Enhancement No. 8 states in part u[i]f a coating is identified, then: Excavation of one 96" CW pipe will be performed to inspect a surface area of 50 square-ft 6
located below groundwater level."
Clarification only: Is the intent to use GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M41 acceptance criteria and corrective actions if the surrogate structure is coated and the concrete CW pipe is inspected?
Serial Nos.: 19-468 Docket Nos.: 50-280/281 If the Turbine Building is determined to not be bare, GALL-SLR Report AMP XI. M41 acceptance criteria and corrective actions will be used for the 96" CW pipe that is excavated for inspection.

Excerpt from B2.1.21, Selective Leaching Change Notice 6 Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2 Application for Subsequent License Renewal Appendix B - Aging Management Programs equalize total run times among the diesels, so as to equalize wear and aging. Operating experience for each unit demonstrates no significant difference in aging effects of systems in the scope of this program between the two units.
Inspections will be performed by personnel qualified in accordance with procedures and programs to perform the specified task. Inspections within the scope of the ASME Code will follow procedures consistent with the ASME Code. Non-ASME Code inspection procedures will include requirements for items such as lighting, distance, offset, and surface conditions.
Inspection results will be evaluated against acceptance criteria to confirm that the sampling bases (e.g., selection, size, frequency) will maintain the components' intended functions throughout the subsequent period of extended operation based on the projected rate and extent of degradation.
The acceptance criteria are:
- For copper-based alloys, no noticeable change in color from the normal yellow color to the reddish copper color or green copper oxide,
- For gray cast iron and ductile iron, the absence of a surface layer that can be easily removed by chipping or scraping or identified in the destructive examinations,
- The presence of no more than a superficial layer of dealloying, as determined by removal of the dealloyed material by mechanical removal, and
- The components meet system design requirements such as minimum wall thickness, when extended to the end of the subsequent period of extended operation.
When the acceptance criteria are not met such that it is determined that the affected component should be replaced prior to the end of the subsequent period of extended operation, additional inspections will be performed. If subsequent inspections do not meet acceptance criteria, an extent of condition and extent of cause analysis will be conducted to determine the further extent of inspections. Extent of condition and extent of cause analysis will include evaluation of difficult-to-access surfaces if unacceptable inspection findings occur within the same material and environment population. The timing of the additional inspections is based on the severity of the degradation identified and is commensurate with the potential for loss of intended function.
The Selective Leaching program (82.1.21) will be augmented to include a requirement to dig exploratory holes to confirm the presence of groundwater around the buried fire water main loop piping, excavate/examine to identify selective leaching, project any identified degradation, and determine necessary future inspections based on the following:
Exploratory Holes for Groundwater A minimum of 25 exploratory holes will be drilled prior to the subsequent period of extended operation (SPEO) and during each 1 O year inspection interval in the SPEO to identify suspected system leakage or elevated groundwater. The selection of exploratory hole PageB-156 Serial No.: 19-468
Excerpt from B2.1.21, Selective Leaching Change Notice 6 Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2 Application for Subsequent License Renewal Appendix B - Aging Management Programs sample locations will take into account recent soil sample results, piping most susceptible to aging based on time-in-service, and the severity of piping operating conditions (including considerations for seasonal variations) (Revised - Change Notice 6).
Exploratory holes will be drilled in areas of suspected system leakage or elevated groundwater.
Exploratory holes will be drilled to the maximum depth of the fire protection loop piping.
When water is detected, as a minimum it will be analyzed for pH, chlorides and sulfates.
Fire protection loop piping will be excavated and inspected at each hole where groundwater has been confirmed and corrective actions implemented based on the inspection results.
Each excavation will also include a soil sample, in accordance with the Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks program (82.1.27) that will be analyzed and the results evaluated with the excavation inspection results.
Corrective Actions for Presence of Groundwater If water in an exploratory hole is identified to be a result of fire protection system leakage or other plant system leakage and not due to elevated groundwater, then corrective actions consistent with the Selective Leaching program (82.1.21) will be initiated.
If water in an exploratory hole is identified to be a result of elevated groundwater, then five additional exploratory holes will be drilled to confirm the extent of the elevated groundwater area. If the additional exploratory holes discover groundwater, an extent of condition analysis will be conducted to determine the extent of additional drillings required. Fire protection loop piping at the additional exploratory holes with groundwater will be excavated for examination.
If no additional areas of elevated groundwater are identified beyond the area initially confirmed to have elevated groundwater during July 2019 or during the first SPEO 10-year exploratory hole sample location inspections, an extent of condition analysis will be conducted to determine the extent of excavations required for the first and second SPEO inspection intervals. The extent of condition analysis will take into account corrective actions (e.g., piping replacement) and inspection projections conducted for the initial area of confirmed elevated groundwater (which occurred in July 2019.)
Sample Expansion (Selective Leaching due to Elevated Groundwater)
For each excavation, a minimum of ten feet of buried fire protection main loop piping will be excavated, cleaned using aggressive cleaning techniques sufficient to remove de-alloyed material and visually examined for evidence of selective leaching.
A minimum of five destructive exams will be performed in separate one foot sample sections of fire protection pipe that exhibit signs of selective leaching.
Acceptance criteria will be consistent with the Selective Leaching program (82.1.21).
An extent of condition analysis will be conducted to determine extent of further inspections.
