ENCLOSURE 1 RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING RELIEF REQUEST 15 REQUEST FOR RELIEF FROM THE EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS OF ASME SECTION Xl, IWA-5244, "BURIED SERVICE WATER PIPING" The following information is provided in response to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs request for additional information (RAI) regarding Nuclear Management Company (NMC) letter dated January 21, 2005, which submitted a request for relief for Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Units 1 and 2, from certain requirements of the 1998 Edition through the 2000 Addenda of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section Xl, IWA-5244, "Buried Components", for the fourth inservice interval in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii). The NRC staffs questions are restated below with the NMC response following.
NRC Question 1:
The licensee stated that: "A review of previous PBNP pressures tests indicated that prior Inservice Inspection (ISI) intervals had not met Code requirements for performing pressure testing on buried portions of the main SW headers as required by IWA-5244 of the 1986 Edition of ASME Section Xl." Please explain in detail the tests that were performed in place of the required pressure tests and the actions taken as a result of not meeting the requirements of ASME Section Xi for the previous intervals.
NMC Response:
PBNP performed a hydrostatic pressure test on the buried service water piping during the second inservice inspection interval, and a system inservice (pressure) test during the third inservice inspection interval. These tests did not reveal leakage in the system.
The tests specifically ensured that piping and components within the test boundary withstood the test pressure without a loss of structural integrity. Test Procedure IT-07, "Inservice Testing of Service Water Pumps and Valves", ensured flow was unimpaired by verifying the system delivered the required amount of service water through the buried piping to plant components. The successful completion of both tests confirmed the buried piping was intact and capable of performing its function.
During the second and third ISI intervals, while ASME Section Xi Code rules were still evolving, the rules were interpreted to allow testing of buried piping by the methods described above. It was believed that the buried piping could not be practically isolated due to the design of the system, which included butterfly isolation valves. The system was determined to be incapable of isolation for the purpose of a pressure drop test.
Verifying piping integrity, by unimpaired flow, was the method selected. As a result, no relief request was submitted.

NRC Question 2:
The licensee stated that the piping is not susceptible to Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) because of continuous high flow rate of water through the piping.
Please identify the construction materials of the underground piping. State if either lining on the internal diameter or pipe wrapping on the outside diameter has been employed and the material used.
NMC Response:
Material specifications for this piping and its associated coatings are defined in Point Beach Design Guide DG-M03. The underground service water piping is 30-inch diameter, class HB-1 9 carbon steel piping. The piping is either fabricated with A-1 55 KC 60 CL 2 or ASTM A-672 GR B60 Class 20 material. Per design, the exterior surface of the buried pipe has a coat of primer, followed by a hot coat of coal-tar enamel. A single layer of asbestos felt wrap, finished with one coat of water resistant whitewash, or a single wrap of Kraft paper applied in accordance with AWWA C-203-62, is bonded with the coal-tar enamel. There is no requirement to have any coating on the inside of the pipe.
