Subject:
Proposed Alternative to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section XI Requirements for Repair/Replacement of Service Water (SW) System Buried Piping in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1), Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke) requests approval to allow the use of the V-Wrap' Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)
Composite System for the internal repair of the buried Service Water (SW) System piping at Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP).
The subject BSEP SW System piping is experiencing degradation of the cement mortar lining materials. American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, In-service Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components,Section XI, Paragraph IWA-4221(b) requires repair/replacement piping to meet the original Construction Code requirements for the SW System piping. The applicable Construction Code for BSEP does not provide the requirements for the design, fabrication, installation, examination, and testing of a CFRP composite system. Consequently, an USNRC-approved alternative is required to permit the use of a CFRP composite system for the internal repair of the SW System piping that provides an acceptable level of quality and safety.
Repair of the SW System piping with the V-Wrap' CFRP Composite System will provide an overall benefit to plant safety, since a CFRP composite is more resistant to fouling and corrosion, while providing the requisite pressure boundary safety function and improving long-term system reliability. The proposed alternative is provided in Enclosure 1. Additional information in support of the requested alternative is provided in Enclosures 2 through 9.
Enclosures 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 Contain Proprietary Information Enclosure 2 Contains Security-Related Information Withhold in Accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 When Separated from Proprietary/Sensitive Information This Document Is Decontrolled

BSEP Unit 2 is presently in the 5th 10-year inservice inspection (ISI) interval which ends on May 10, 2028. As further discussed in the enclosed alternative request and supporting information, the repair effort at BSEP Unit 1 will be performed during 5th 10-year ISI interval which began on May 11, 2018. Repair efforts at BSEP Unit 2 will be performed during the 5th 10-year ISI interval which began on May 11, 2018.
A pre-submittal teleconference was held on January 21, 2021, in which Duke presented its plan to the USNRC with respect to the use of a CFRP Composite System to repair existing SW System piping.
Associated in part with post September 11, 2001, response related to security sensitive information, Duke has determined that the illustrations provided in Enclosure 2, Attachments B, C, D, E, and F should be withheld from public disclosure consistent with USNRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2005-31, Revision 1, "Control of Security-Related Sensitive Unclassified Nonsafeguards Information Handled by Individuals, Firms, and Entities subject to USNRC Regulation of the Use of Source, Byproduct, and Special Nuclear Material." Duke has concluded that the illustrations contained in Enclosure 2 meet the intent of RIS 2005-31 which states, in part: "information should be withheld to prevent inadvertent assistance to those who might wish to use security-related information for malevolent acts." Therefore, Duke requests the illustrations provided in Enclosure 2, Attachments B, C, D, E, and F be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390.

Before me, the undersigned authority, personally appeared Scott Greenhaus, who, being by me duty sworn according to law, deposes and says that he is authorized to execute this Affidavit on behalf of Structural Group, Inc. and that the averments of fact set forth in this Affidavit are true and correct to the best of his knowledge, information, and belief.
Scott Greenhaus Executive Vice President
RA-20-0353 Enclosure 10 Page 7 of 14 I, Scott Greenhaus, am Executive Vice President of Structural Group, Inc. (SGI). In my capacity as Executive Vice President I have been specifically delegated the function of reviewing the proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disclosure in conjunction with nuclear plant licensing and rulemaking proceedings and am authorized to apply for its withholding on behalf of SGI and its affiliates.
I am making this Affidavit in conformance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2.390 of the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) regulations and in conjunction with SGl's Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure accompanying this Affidavit.
I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by SGI in designating information as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.
Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of 10 CFR 2.390 of the USNRC's regulations, the following is furnished for consideration by the USNRC in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.
The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned by and has been held in confidence by SGI. Specific portions of the Duke Energy Progress, LLC request which include SGI proprietary information are:
Enclosure 1 - Proposed Alternative to ASME Section XI Requirements for Repair/Replacement of ECP Supply Class 3 Buried Piping in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1)
(sections listed below)
- Section 8 - Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use
- Section 9 - Material Manufacturing and Material Qualification
- Section 1O- Design
- Section 11 - Installation
- Section 12 - QA/QC Program
- Section 13 - Qualifications and Training
- Section 14- Failure Modes & Effects Analysis Enclosure 4 - Material Manufacture and Material Qualification (withheld in its entirety including all attachments)
Enclosure 6 - Sample Procedures (withheld in its entirety including all attachments)
Enclosure 7 - Sample Training Plans (withheld in its entirety including all attachments)
Enclosure 8- Failure Modes Effects Analysis (withheld in its entirety including all attachments)
Enclosure 9- Operating Experience (withheld in its entirety including all attachments)
The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by SGI and not disclosed to the public. SGI has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and utilizes a system to determine when and whether to hold certain types of
RA-20-0353 Enclosure 10 Page 8 of 14 information in confidence. The application of that system and the substance of that system provides a rational basis for maintaining confidentiality and justifies the USNRC withholding the information from public disclosure.
Under SGl's system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitive advantage, as follows:
- 1. The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by a competitor of SGI without license constitutes a competitive advantage over other companies.
- 2. It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.
- 3. Its use by a competitor would reduce their expenditure of resources or improve their competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product.
- 4. It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of SGI, their customers or suppliers.
- 5. It reveals aspects of past, present, or future development plans funded by SGI or its customer, and programs of potential commercial value to SGI.
- 6. It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.
There are sound policy reasons behind the SGI system which include the following:
- 1. The use of such information by SGI gives it a competitive advantage over competitors. It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect SGl's competitive position.
- 2. It is information that is marketable in many ways. The extent to which such information is available to competitors diminishes SGl's ability to sell products and services involving the use of the information.
- 3. Use by a competitor would put SGI at a competitive disadvantage by reducing the competitor's expenditure of resources and capital.
- 4. Each component of proprietary information pertinent to a particular competitive advantage is potentially as valuable as the total competitive advantage. If competitors acquire components of proprietary information, any one component may be the key to the entire process, thereby depriving SGI of its competitive advantage.
- 5. Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position of prominence of SGI in the world marketplace, and thereby give a market advantage to competitor in those countries in which SGI operates.
RA-20-0353 Enclosure 10 Page 9 of 14
- 6. SGl's capacity to invest corporate assets in research and development depends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.
The information is being transmitted to the USNRC in confidence and, under the provisions of 10 CFR 2.390, it is to be received in confidence by the USNRC. The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources and, to the best of our knowledge and belief, available information has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method.
The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which is appropriately marked in Duke Energy Progress, LLC letter to the USNRC, "Proposed Alternative to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section XI Requirements for Repair/Replacement of Service Water (SW) System Piping in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1)", Docket Nos. 50-325/324, Document No. RA-20-0353 being transmitted by Duke Energy Progress, LLC letter and reflected in SGl's Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure addressed to the USNRC Document Control Desk. The proprietary information as submitted by SGI is that associated with the "Proposed Alternative to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section XI, Requirements for Repair/Replacement of Service Water (SW) System Piping in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1)" for Brunswick Electric Steam Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2, and may be used only for that purpose.
This information is part of that which will enable SGI to:
- 1. Provide input to Duke Energy Progress, LLC. to provide to the USNRC for review of the Brunswick Electric Steam Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2, 10 CFR 50.46 submittal; and
- 2. Provide licensing support for the Duke Energy Progress, LLC submittal.
SGI owns or is permitted to use the proprietary information referenced in this Affidavit under agreements that include Duke Energy Progress, LLC maintaining the confidentiality of such information, as contemplated in this Affidavit.
Further this information has substantial commercial value as follows:
- 1. The SGI plan to sell the use of this information to their customers for the purpose of installing the V-Wrap TM Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Composite System in safety related piping.
- 2. That SGI can self-support and defense of the technology to their customers in the licensing process.
- 3. The information requested to be withheld reveals the distinguishing aspects of a methodology which was developed by SGI.
- 4. Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of SGI because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar licensing services for commercial power reactors without commensurate expenses.
RA-20-0353 Enclosure 10 Page 10 of 14
- 5. Public disclosure of the information would enable others to use the information to meet USNRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.
- 6. The development of the technology described in part by the proprietary information is the result of applying the results of many years of experience in an intensive effort by SGI and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money and resources. In order for competitors to duplicate this information, similar technical programs would have to be performed including a significant expenditure money and resources.
Further the deponent sayeth not.

10 CFR 2.390 AFFIDAVIT OF RASKO P. OJDROVIC AFFIDAVIT I, Rasko P. Ojdrovic, hereby state as follows:
(1) I am a Vice President and Senior Principal of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc. (SGH),
and I have been authorized to execute this affidavit on behalf of SGH.
(2) Duke Energy Progress, LLC will submit a letter to the USNRC entitled Proposed Alternative to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section XI Requirements for Repair/Replacement of Service Water (SW) System Buried Piping in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1), Docket Nos. 50-324 and 50-325, Serial No. RA-20-0353. Certain portions of that letter contain proprietary information owned by SGH. This information should be held in confidence by the USNRC and withheld from public disclosure. The following is a list of the SGH proprietary information in the Duke Energy Progress, LLC letter that SGH requests be withheld:
- Enclosure 1, Summary of Material Exemption Request (§§ 10 and 14).
- Enclosure 4, Material Manufacturing and Material Qualification (Attachment C -
Watertightness Testing).
- Enclosure 5, Design (all Attachments).
- Enclosure 8, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (Attachments 8A, 8C,8D, and 8E).
(3) In making this application for withholding of proprietary information of which it is the owner, SGH believes that the information qualifies for withholding under the exemption from disclosure set forth in the Freedom of Information Act per 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4), the Trade Secrets Act per 18 U.S.C. § 1905, and NRC regulations at 10 C.F.R. §§ 9.17(a)(4) and 2.390(a)(4) for trade secrets and commercial information because:
- i. This information is and has been held in confidence by SGH as a trade secret.
ii. This information is of a type that is customarily held in confidence by SGH, and there is a rational basis for doing so because the information includes proprietary information that was developed and compiled by SGH. This information is classified as proprietary because it contains information relevant to analytical approaches and methodologies not available elsewhere.
iii. The information is being transmitted to the NRC voluntarily and in confidence.
iv. This information is not available in public sources and cannot be gathered readily from other publicly available information.
- v. Substantial cost and time have been expended by SGH to develop and evaluate this information. Public release of this information could lead to additional significant cost to SGH and is likely to cause substantial competitive harm to SGHs position and foreclose or reduce the availability of profit-making opportunities for SGH. The economic value of this information to SGH would be lost or severely reduced if the information were disclosed to the public.

RA-20-0353 Enclosure 10 Page 14 of 14 vi. Public disclosure of the information sought to be withheld would provide other parties, and specifically SGHs competitors, with economically valuable information. SGHs competitive advantage would be lost if its competitors are able to use the results of SGHs efforts to aid their own commercial activities.
For example, SGH's competitive advantage would be lost if its competitors are able to use the results of SGHs analyses to normalize or verify their own process or if they are able to claim an equivalent understanding by demonstrating that they can arrive at the same or similar conclusions. Making such information available to competitors without their having been required to undertake a similar expenditure of resources would unfairly provide competitors with a windfall and would deprive SGH of the opportunity to exercise its competitive advantage to seek an adequate return on its large investment.
vii. The commercial value of the information extends beyond the original development cost and includes development of the expertise to determine and apply the appropriate evaluation process to the information. The research, development, engineering, and analytical costs that went into generating this information comprise a substantial investment of time and money by SGH. The precise value of this information is difficult to quantify, but clearly is substantial.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on 18 February 2021.

NON-PROPRIETARY RA-20-0353 Enclosure 11 Page 7 of 11 For the 5th ISI interval at BSEP Unit No. 2 the applicable code is ASME B&PVC,Section XI, "Rules for lnservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components", 2007 Edition, including 2008 Addenda.
- 6) Applicable Requirement The ASME B&PVC requirement applicable to repairing piping isSection XI, Rules for In-Service Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components, Article IWA-4000, subparagraph IWA-4221(b)(1),
which states:
IWA-4221(b) An item to be used for repair/replacement activities shall meet the Construction Code specified in accordance with (1), (2), or (3) below.
(1) When replacing an existing item, the new item shall meet the Construction Code to which the original item was constructed.
- 7) Reason for Request The SW System piping at BSEP Unit Nos. 1 and 2 consists of 30 inch diameter, cement mortar lined, carbon steel pipe constructed in 1975 and 1976 conveying brackish river water from the Cape Fear River since mid-1970s.
BSEP is proactively evaluating repair options, including repair with the V-Wrap' CFRP Composite System on the interior of the SW System piping which, once fully implemented, will take the place of the host pipe and resist all design loading without reliance on the host structure.
Per the response to Generic Letter 89-13, each of the BSEP Service Water (SW) Headers are internally inspected on a 4-year frequency (one header per refueling outage). During these inspections, typical remediation includes cosmetic concrete repairs and, occasionally, very minor weld repairs to replace minimal wall loss that has occurred over time. The condition of the cement mortar lining is generally found in good condition with patch repairs required to ensure continued reliability of the carbon steel piping beneath. Recent inspections have found minimal weld repairs required when the cement mortar lining is removed for repairs and the concrete is simply patched.
With respect to the external condition of the buried SW piping, the external surfaces of the piping cannot be examined without full piping excavation (approximately 16.5 feet below grade). Limited excavations have been completed by the site in recent years resulting in two condition reports being submitted for very localized through wall failures and some general pitting. These sections of piping were repaired or replaced and a Long-Term Action Manager (LTAM) item was created to replace/refurbish the buried SW piping at the site. This LTAM has resulted in the site pursuing the installation of a CFRP system to ensure long-term reliability of the buried SW piping at BSEP.
Installation of the V-Wrap' CFRP Composite System will be accomplished, as required, to support inspection results and may include partial segment lengths which would continue sufficient distance onto competent pipe at the terminal ends.
NON-PROPRIETARY RA-20-0353 Enclosure 11 Page 8 of 11
- 8) Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1), Duke requests an alternative for the repair of the subject BSEP Unit Nos. 1 and 2 SW System piping that provides an acceptable level of quality and safety. Duke proposes that the subject supply piping be repaired with the V-Wrap' Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Composite System produced by Structural Technologies, LLC. Enclosure 2 provides the proposed scope of the repair.
The use of the proposed V-Wrap' CFRP Composite System for the internal repair of buried pipe is a recent technology improvement which was not available in the 1960s or 1970s to meet the construction code to which original piping was constructed. There is currently no USNRC endorsed ASME B&PVC,Section XI Code Case for installing a CFRP composite system as a structural liner for piping during a repair/replacement activity.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1), an alternative is proposed for the repair of the BSEP, Unit Nos.
1 and 2 SW System piping that provides an acceptable level of quality and safety. It is proposed that the SW System piping be repaired with the V-Wrap' CFRP Composite System produced by Structural Technologies, LLC. Enclosure 2 provides the proposed scope.
The V-Wrap' CFRP Composite System has been previously approved by the USNRC and installed on the interior of concrete encased, buried carbon steel piping for safety-related applications at the Surry Nuclear Station in 2018 with the upgrade program continuing through 2024 (Reference letter to Virginia Electric & Power Company from USNRC, dated December 20, 2017, ML17303A068).
A similar application to install the V-Wrap' CFRP Composite System in the Emergency Cooling Water System piping at South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STPEGS), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 was submitted to the USNRC (Reference letter to USNRC from South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company, dated September 26, 2019, ML19274C393). The USNRC has concluded that the licensee adequately addressed all regulatory requirements set forth in 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1) and the proposed alternates provide an acceptable level of safety (Reference letter to South Texas Project Unit Nos. 1 and 2 [G.

A proposed alternative must be submitted and authorized prior to implementation. The applicant or licensee must demonstrate that:
(1) Acceptable level of quality and safety. The proposed alternative would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety; or (2) Hardship without a compensating increase in quality and safety. Compliance with the specified requirements of this section would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.

RA-20-0353 Enclosure 12 Page 3 of 7 Duke Energy Progress, LLC Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 ENCLOSURE 12 Attachment A - Scope and Schedule
- 1) Scope BSEP is proactively requesting approval to use the proposed V-Wrap' CFRP Composite System as an upgrade of the Service Water (SW) System piping internal wall surfaces. It has not been determined whether the cement mortar lining will be removed or remain in place.
Hydraulic and structural analysis will be performed to justify either condition, (1) cement mortar lining removed or (2) cement mortar lining remains. Additional details depicting site layout, appropriate lengths and directional changes are provided in Attachments C, D, E, and F.
The Service Water (SW) System piping at BSEP Unit Nos. 1 and 2 consists of 30 inch diameter, cement mortar lined, carbon steel pipe constructed in 1975 and 1976 conveying brackish river water from the Cape Fear River.
Piping sections to be lined with the proposed V-Wrap' Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Composite System are further described in Enclosure 2 and are summarized below.
Additional access points may be installed to enhance personnel safely and gain efficiencies as depicted on Attachments C, D, E and F. Access to base material at terminal ends for future inservice inspections will be considered in the 10CFR50.59 engineering change process.
Within the SW Pump House, there are sections of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Nuclear and Conventional SW Headers that will not be lined with CFRP under this project. This piping runs from the discharge of the SW intake pumps (10 total) and exits the SW Pump House below grade. These penetrations out of the SW Pump House are where the installation of CFRP will begin in each header (approximately 1 foot within the SW Pump House). The piping within the SW Pump House is always accessible and is monitored by Engineering and Operations for signs of degradation while online and during refueling outages. If repairs are required, they can be executed within the building during refueling outages or, if necessary, emergently by draining the affected header. Additionally, if degradation is suspected, non-destructive exams can be completed due to the accessibility of the piping. As such, the decision was made to exclude this piping from the CFRP installation project.
The piping to be lined is buried and not subject to 10CFR50.48 c, National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 805, "Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants, 2001 edition requirements. As depicted in Attachments B, C, D, E and F, the piping that terminates inside the Reactor Building, Pipe Tunnel or SW Pump House will terminate onto existing piping. These terminal end areas are accessible allowing for preservice and in-service inspections of the interior and exterior piping to be performed per ASME Section XI requirements. Fire protection considerations required by 10CFR50.48 c, National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 805, "Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants, 2001 edition for pipe inside of the buildings and pipe tunnel will be addressed as part of the 10CFR50.59, Changes, Tests and Experiments process.
