Enclosure 1 to SBK-L-11062 Response to Request for Additional Information Seabrook Station License Renewal Application Set 11 and Associated LRA Changes

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 of 25 SBK-L- 11062 / Enclosure 1 Request for Additional Information (RAI) 3.2.2.2.6-02

Background:

By letter dated January 5, 2011, the staff issued request for additional information (RAI) 3.2.2.2.6-01 concerning aging management of stainless steel miniflow orifices in the chemical and volume control system. In its response dated February 3, 2011, NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC (the applicant) modified its approach by proposing to credit only the Water Chemistry Program for aging management of the subject components. The applicant stated that the Water Chemistry Program is expected to mitigate the potential for erosion in the miniflow orifices by controlling the buildup of corrosion products and particulates that could contribute to erosion. The applicant also included a discussion of quarterly inservice testing required by its technical specifications and trending of the test data by a system engineer. Based on the information provided, the applicant changed Table 3.3.2-3, for the applicable orifice, to state that the Water Chemistry Program will be used to manage this aging effect, and the applicant added plant-specific note 8 with the comparable information.

Issue:

Standard Review Plan -License Renewal (SRP-LR) Section 3.2.2.2.6 states that loss of material due to erosion could occur in the stainless steel high pressure safety injection (HPSI) pump miniflow recirculation orifice exposed to treated borated water and recommends a plant-specific aging management program (AMP) be evaluated for erosion of the orifice due to extended use of the centrifugal HPSI pump for normal charging. The staff noted that the stainless steel. miniflow orifices in the applicant's chemical and volume control system are functionally equivalent to, and in the same environment as the miniflow orifices described in SRP-LR Section 3.2.2.2.6; and they would be subject to the same aging effect.

SRP-LR, Appendix A, Section A.1.2.3.4, states that in a plant-specific AMP, the detection of aging effects should occur before there is a loss of intended function(s). The staff noted that the Water Chemistry Program does not include an inspection or testing activity to detect loss of material due to erosion in the stainless steel miniflow orifices in the chemical and volume control system. The staff also noted that the Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report typically recommends using the One-Time Inspection Program to confirm effectiveness of the Water Chemistry Program to mitigate loss of material. Because the applicant has not credited any activity to confirm the Water Chemistry Program's effectiveness to mitigate erosion, the staff does not have sufficient information to conclude that the Water Chemistry Program will provide adequate aging management for the subject miniflow orifices.

Request:

Describe how the existing Water Chemistry Program is capable of detecting the loss of material due to erosion in the stainless steel miniflow orifices, or include in the AMP(s)

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 3 of 25 SBK-L-1 1062 / Enclosure 1 for these components an inspection or testing activity that is capable of detecting the loss of material due to erosion before the loss of the components' intended function occurs.

NextEra Energy Seabrook Response:

To confirm the Water Chemistry Program's effectiveness, Seabrook Station will Credit its Technical Specification performance monitoring program for the High Pressure Safety Injection Pump (CVCS Charging Pump) to detect loss of material due to erosion in the miniflow orifice. Seabrook Station Technical Specification 4.5.2.f (Emergency Core Cooling Systems - Surveillance Requirements) requires quarterly testing of the CVCS Charging Pumps. The pump is always tested in the same lineup where the flow path is only through the miniflow orifice. Pump flow and differential pressure are measured and recorded and compared to the acceptance criteria. If the acceptance criteria are not met (for flow or differential pressure) through the mini flow orifice, then the pump would be declared inoperable and the Technical Specification Limited Condition for Operation would be entered. Increased flow through the minimum recirculation flow line may be an indication of loss of material due to erosion of the miniflow orifice. If the miniflow orifice would experience erosion to the extent that the acceptance criteria for high flow is not met, then restoration of the pump to operable status would require appropriate corrective actions per the corrective action program.

Seabrook Station's approach is consistent with Branch Technical Position RLSB-1, Section A. 1.1, which states that performance monitoring is one of four acceptable aging management programs (the other three being prevention, mitigation, and condition monitoring programs).

Based on the above discussion, the following changes are made to the LRA.

1. Plant specific note 8 for Table 3.3.2-3, as submitted in response to RAI 3.2.2.2.6-01 (SBK-L-11015 (Reference 6) dated February 3, 2011, Enclosure 1, page 74 of 92) is revised as follows:

8 NUREG- 1801 specifies a plant-specific program for this line item. The Water Chemistry Program will be used to manage the aging effect(s) applicable to this component type, material, and environment combination. To confirm the Water Chemistry Program's effectiveness to mitigate erosion, Technical Specification performance monitoring program for the CVCS Charging Pump will be credited. Performance testing of the pump measures the recirculationflow through the orifice and compares it to the acceptance criteria.Degradationof the orifice will be identifiedby the pump performance testing.

2. Section 3.2.2.2.6, as submitted in response to 3.2.2.2.6-01 (SBK-L-11015 dated February 3, 201 1(Reference, 6), Enclosure 1, page 72 of 92), the following is added to the end of the 2nd paragraph as follows:

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 4 of 25 SBK-L- 11062 / Enclosure 1 "Seabrook will use Water Chemistry Program, B.2.1.2, to manage loss of material due to erosion of the stainless steel high pressure pump mini-flow orifice in the Chemical and Volume Control System. The Water Chemistry Program is described in Appendix B. To confirm the Water Chemistry Program's effectiveness, Seabrook Station will credit its Technical Specification performance monitoring programfor the High PressureSafety Injection Pump (CVCS ChargingPump) to detect loss of material due to erosion in the miniflow orifice. Seabrook Station Technical Specification 4.5.2.f (Emergency Core Cooling Systems - Surveillance Requirements) requires quarterly testing of the CVCS Charging Pumps. The pump is always tested in the same lineup where the flow path is only through the miniflow orifice. Pumpflow and differentialpressure are measured and recorded and compared to the acceptance criteria.If the acceptance criteriais not met (for flow or differentialpressure), then the pump would be declared inoperable and the Technical Specification Limited Conditionfor Operation would be entered.

Increased flow through the minimum recirculation flow line may be an indication of loss of materialdue to erosion of the piping components in the flow path including the orifice. Restoration of the pump to operable status would require appropriatecorrectiveactionsper the corrective actionprogram.

3. In Section A.3, the following commitment is added to the License Renewal Commitment List:

NO. PROGRAM COMMITMENT UFSAR SCHEDULE or TOPIC LOCATION 63 Flow Ensure that the quarterly CVCS N/A Priorto the Induced ChargingPump testing is continued period of Erosion during the PEO.Additionally, add a extended precaution to the test procedureto state operation that an increase in the CVCS Charging Pump miniflow above the acceptance criteriamay be indicative of erosion of the miniflow orifice as described in LER 50-275/94-023.

Request for Additional Information (RAI) B.2.1.12-8

Background:

The closed-cycle water chemistry guidelines in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) topical report (TR) TR-107396 state that higher. levels of hydrazine can increase ammonia levels. Elevated concentrations of ammonia can cause higher levels of corrosion or cracking of copper alloys. The EPRI guideline also states that higher sulfate levels. can lead to stress-corrosion cracking of stainless steel alloys. By letter dated January 13, 2011, the staff issued RAI B.2.1.12-1, in which the staff requested additional information on the effect of hydrazine and sulfate excursions in the thermal barrier

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 5 of 25 SBK-L- 11062 / Enclosure 1 system for aging during the period of extended operation. The response to RAI B.2.1.12-1 stated that the applicant evaluated the significance of allowing, operation of the thermal barrier system at the elevated hydrazine and sulfate levels, and determined it to be acceptable. The response also stated that routine monitoring during operation at the elevated ranges showed no indication of system or component degradation.

Issue:

The applicant did not provide details of its evaluation that determined the operation at the elevated levels of hydrazine and sulfate would not cause any accelerated aging that could affect components during the period of extended operation. In addition, the applicant did not describe the routine monitoring it had performed during operation at the elevated ranges that could be credited for showing that no system or component degradation had occurred.

Request:

Provide the technical information that describes why the elevated levels of hydrazine and sulfate will not have caused accelerated aging of the components in the thermal barrier system that could affect component functions during the period of extended operation. If it is determined that the elevated levels of hydrazine and sulfate may have caused some accelerated aging, provide information on the AMP that will be used to manage the accelerated aging.

NextEra Energy Seabrook Response:

In response to this RAI, a new evaluation was performed to determine if accelerated aging of the components would occur due to elevated hydrazine and sulfate levels in the thermal barrier (TB) system.. This new evaluation included review of the Seabrook Station Chemistry Study/Technical Information Document (CHSTID) "Evaluation of Sulfate Concentration in Thermal Barrier Closed Cooling Loop" dated December 2004, referenced in the Closed Cycle Cooling Water System AMP and in the response to RAI B.2.1.12-1 provided in SBK-L-1 1002, dated January 13, 2011 (Reference 4).

This new evaluation dated March 28, 2011 is included as Enclosure 2 to this letter. In summary, conclusions are as follows:

"There is no reason to expect that increased carbon steel. or stainless steel corrosion rates occurred from 1999 to 2009 when hydrazine and sulfate concentrations were elevated in the Seabrook TB system. The elevated hydrazine concentrations would be expected to lead to minimum oxygen concentrations in the bulk water and very low electrochemical potentials of the stainless steel surfaces resulting in a minimum tendency for stress corrosion cracking. Sulfate, in the concentration range that was observed, is not expected to be a significant accelerant of SCC of stainless steel at TB system temperatures particularly at the low electrochemical potential of the stainless steel materials at the high hydrazine to oxygen concentration ratio".

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 6 of 25 SBK-L- 11062 / Enclosure 1 Based on the conclusions of this evaluation, Seabrook Station maintains that the effects of the elevated hydrazine and sulfate levels are insignificant and will not have caused accelerated aging of the components in the thermal barrier system that could affect component functions during the period of extended operation.

As previously stated in response to RAI B.2.1.12-1, Seabrook Station had returned hydrazine and sulfate operating levels to within those recommended in the EPRI Guidelines in early 2010. The Seabrook Station Closed Cooling Water Chemistry Control program has also been revised to reflect those levels in the appropriate sampling schedule.

Request for Additional Information (RAI) 4.7.12-2

Background:

By letter dated January 5, 2011, the staff issued RAI 4.7.12-1 concerning license renewal application (LRA) Section 4.7.12, which discussed the absence of a time-limited aging analysis (TLAA) for metal corrosion allowances. In its response dated February 3, 2011, the applicant revised LRA Section 4.7.12 to include steam generator tube metal corrosion allowance as a TLAA and revised Tables 4.1-1 and 4.1-2 for the disposition method and applicability of the TLAA. However, LRA Section 4.7.12 now states that the TLAA disposition for this issue is in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(iii), whereas the revision to Table4.1-1 states that the TLAA disposition is in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1)(i). In addition, the staff noted that the final safety analysis report (FSAR) supplement in LRA Section A.2.4.5, "Other Plant-Specific TLAAs," had not been revised as a result of this new determination.

Issue:

SRP-LR Section 4.7.3.1.1, "10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1)(i)," states that the justification provided by the applicant is reviewed to verify that the existing analyses are valid., for the period of extended operation. In contrast, SRP-LR Section 4.7.3.1.3, "10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii)," states that the, applicant's proposal to manage the aging effects associated with the TLAA by an AMP is reviewed to verify that the effects of aging will be adequately managed. The staff is unclear which method was used by the applicant. In addition, 10 CFR 54.21(d) states that the FSAR supplement must contain a summary description of the evaluation of TLAAs for the period of extended operation as part of the LRA.

Request:

a) Clarify which method was used to disposition the TLAA associated with the steam generator tube metal corrosion allowance.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 7 of 25 SBK-L-1 1062 / Enclosure 1 b) Provide a revised FSAR supplement for the evaluation of the TLAA associated with the steam generator tube metal corrosion allowance, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (d).

NextEra Energy Seabrook Response:

a) In response letter, SBK-L- 11015 (Reference 6); NextEra incorrectly listed the disposition as Aging Management, 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii). The correct disposition is Validation, 10 CFR 54.2 1(c)(1)(i) as the analyses remains valid for the period of extended operation.

1. In LRA Section 4.7.12, page 4.7-13, the disposition previously provided in SBK-L 11015 (Reference 6) should be revised as follows:

Aging Maenagemen.t, 10 GF*R 5.21 (e)( 1)(iii) The effects eof aging o theintended+,n-tie(s)will be adequately managed for the per,-id of extended oper-ation by the Steam Generater Tube Integr-ity Progra m (B.2. 1.10), whifc m.anages the aging effects of lass of material due to wall thining from f...

accelerated corrosion of the Steam Gener-ator eomponents.

Disposition Validation, 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i) - The analyses remain validfor the period of extended operation.

b) The following UFSAR supplement is provided regarding the TLAA associated with the steam generator tube metal corrosion allowance.

1. In LRA Appendix A, a new section A.2.4.5.11 is provided as follows:

A.2.4.5.11 METAL CORROSIONALLOWANCES AND CORROSION EFFECTS The Seabrook Station licensing basis assumes a general corrosion and erosion rate of 3 mils is for the steam generator tube wall. The corrosion rate is based on a conservative weight loss rate of Inconel tubing in flowing 650'Fprimary side reactor coolantfluid. The weight loss, when equated to a thinning rate andprojectedover a 40-year design operatingobjective, with appropriate reduction after initial hours, is equivalent to 0.083 mils thinning. A linear projection of this thinning rate to a 60-year period is equivalent to 0.1245 mils thinning. This linear projection to 60 years is considered to be conservative because it includes in the base rate the higher rate during the initial hours. The assumed corrosion rate of 3 mils leaves a conservative 2.8 755 mils for general corrosion thinning on the secondary side.

The analyses will remain validfor the period of extended operation in accordancewith 10 CFR 54.21 (c) (1) (i).

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 8 of 25 SBK-L- 11062 / Enclosure 1 Request for Additional Information (RAI) 3.4.1-37-21

Background:

By letter dated January 5, 2011, the staff issued RAI 3.4.1-37-1. This RAI requested

,information as follows: a) propose to manage aging of these components using water chemistry and an appropriate verification AMP as indicated by the GALL Report for the management of aging in a secondary feedwater/steam environment or justify why the use of a verification AMP is either inconsistent with the GALL Report or technically unnecessary; b) justify why is it unnecessary to consider both the aging effects "loss of material" and "cracking" for each of the components under consideration; c) classify the steam generator feedwater inlet ring (J tube) and the steam generator tubes as steam generator components (making the appropriate verification AMP the Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program) or justify why these components should be considered piping, piping components, or piping elements as proposed by item 3.4.1-37. The applicant responded to this RAI by letter dated February 3, 2011. With one potential exception, the staff found these responses acceptable.

Issue:

In its response to the previous RAI, the applicant reclassified the steam generator feedwater nozzle (thermal sleeve) and the orifice from being consistent with SRP-LR Table 3.4.1-34 (generic note A) to being inconsistent with the GALL Report (generic note H). The applicant also proposed to manage the aging of these components through the use of its Water Chemistry Program. Based on its review, it appears to the staff that the components, materials, environments, and aging effects under consideration are described by SRP-LR Table 3.4-1 ID 84. The staff notes that SRP-LR Table 3.4-1 ID 84, recommends that aging be managed through the use of GALL Report AMP XI.M2, Water Chemistry and either AMP XI.M32, One-Time Inspection, or AMP XI.M1, ASME Section XI, Inservice Inspection.

The staff notes that, in its response to the previous RAI, the applicant stated that these components were not available for inspection. The staff also notes that these components have been addressed in many recent license renewal Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs).

While there have been differences in the approaches to the management of aging of these components from plant to plant, in each case the SER indicates that the accepted method of aging management involves the use of an AMP to manage water chemistry and an AMP to perform at least a one-time inspection to verify the efficacy of the water chemistry program.. This indicates to the staff that water chemistry and inspection programs are necessary for adequate aging management and that these components are generally inspectable.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 9 of 25 SBK-L-1 1062 / Enclosure 1 Request:

Please: a) demonstrate why the aging management guidance provided by SRP-LR Table 3.4-1 ID 84 need not be followed; or b} demonstrate why the components under consideration are not inspectable; or c) propose to manage aging of these components in a manner consistent with or equivalent to SRP-LR Table 3.4-1 ID 84.

NextEra Energy Seabrook Response:

a) The aging management guidance provided in NUREG-1800, Table 3.1-1, ID 84, refers to R-36, which is associated with NUREG-1801 line item IV.D2-9. This line item is associated with once-through type steam generators as found in Babcock &

Wilcox pressurized water reactors as described in NUREG-1801, Chapter IV.D2.

Seabrook Station has recirculating-type steam generators as found in Westinghouse pressurized water reactors. Therefore, Chapter IV.D 1 of NUREG- 1801 was utilized instead of Chapter IV.D2.

In Chapter IV.D1 of NUREG-1801 [Steam Generators (Recirculating)], nickel alloy steam generator components such as the secondary side nozzles, vent, drain, and instrumentation lines are not identified as being susceptible to cracking-due to stress corrosion cracking in secondary feedwater/steam environment and therefore, has no corresponding line item in Chapter IV.D 1. Hence, the reason why generic note H was utilized instead of generic note A.

b) Inspectability of the Steam Generator Steam Flow Restricting Orifice and Feedwater Nozzle (Thermal Sleeve)

Inspectability of the Steam Generator Steam Flow Restricting Orifice Seabrook USFAR, Section 5.4.4 describes the steam generator steam flow restricting orifice as follows:

"The flow restrictor consists of seven Inconel (ASME SB-163) venturi inserts which are inserted into the holes in an integral steam outlet nozzle forging. The inserts are arranged with one venturi at the centerline of the outlet nozzle and the other six equally spaced around it. After insertion into the nozzle forging holes, the Inconel venturi inserts are welded to the Inconel cladding on the inner surface of the forgings.

The flow restrictor design has been sufficiently analyzed to assure its structural adequacy. The equivalent throat diameter of the steam generator outlet is 16 inches, and the resultant pressure drop through the restrictor at 100 percent steam6 flow is approximately 3.28 psi. This is based on a design flow rate of 4.135x10 lb/hr. Materials of construction and manufacturing of the flow restrictor are in accordance with Section III of the ASME Code.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 10 of 25 SBK-L- 11062 / Enclosure 1 Since the restrictor is not a part of the steam system boundary, no tests and inspection beyond those during fabrication are anticipated."

The steam generator steam flow restricting orifices, are located above the steam generator upper deck plates and do not have manways or an access points to allow for the inspection of the orifices. Therefore, the steam flow restricting orifice is not accessible for visual inspections (direct visual or remote visual) without a plant modification.

Inspectability of the Steam Generator Feedwater Nozzle (Thermal Sleeve)

The Steam Generator Feedwater Nozzle (Thermal Sleeve) is an integral part of the steam generator feedwater ring and is not accessible for direct visual inspections.

However, upon further discussion with the Seabrook Station Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program owner, a remote visual inspection of the feedwater nozzle (thermal sleeve) is feasible by means of entering the feedwater ring via the feedwater ring J tube opening.

c) Aging Management of the Steam Generator Steam Flow Restricting Orifice and Feedwater Nozzle (Thermal Sleeve)

Aging Management of the Steam Generator Steam Flow Restricting Orifice Plant or industry operating experience has not identified any aging effects associated with the steam generator steam flow restricting orifices. Additionally, EPRI Steam Generator Integrity Assessment Guidelines (EPRI 1012987 Rev. 2) has not identified the steam generator steam flow restricting orifices as one of the components requiring inspection. Therefore, verification of the Water Chemistry Program is not needed to provide reasonable assurance that the steam generator steam flow restricting orifice will perform such that the intended functions are maintained consistent with the current licensing basis during the period of extended operation.

Aging Management of the Feedwater Nozzle (Thermal Sleeve)

Although there is currently no plant/industry operating experience and no EPRI requirement or recommendation that warrants inspection of the steam generator feedwater nozzles (thermal sleeves), Seabrook Station will include inspection of the feedwater nozzles (thermalt sleeves) under the Steam - Generator Tube Integrity Program to verify the effectiveness of the Water Chemistry program.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 11 of 25 SBK-L-1 1062 / Enclosure 1 Based on the above discussion, the following changes are made to the LRA.

1. Item 8, on page 83 of 92 of Enclosure 1, as submitted in SBK-L-1 1015 dated February 3, 2011 (Reference 6), is revised as follows:

Request for Additional Information (RAI) B.2.1.22-1

Background:

The applicant's response to RAI B.2.1.22-1, by letter dated January 13, 2011, was not sufficient to resolve all of the staffs questions.

Issue:

a) Although the applicant will be sampling for several different factors (e.g., soil resistivity, water samples) it is not clear to the staff that the stated parameters are sufficient, nor how the results will be combined to determine the level of soil

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 12 of 25 SBK-L- 11062 / Enclosure I corrosivity such as can be determined by using American Water Works Association C I05/A2.15-10 Table A. 1.

b) The applicant's program only increases the number of planned inspections based on the quality of backfill in the vicinity of the buried pipe. Given that portions of buried in-scope steel piping are not provided with cathodic protection, the staff believes that the number of inspections of this piping should also be informed by localized soil conditions.

c) Given that localized soil conditions can vary, the applicant's response was not clear enough for the staff to conclude that soil samples will be obtained in the vicinity of each buried in-scope steel piping system (excluding fire protection) that is not provided cathodic protection.

d) It is not clear to the staff how often soil samples will be obtained during the period of extended operation.

Request:

a) State what soil parameters will be utilized and how their aggregate impact will be evaluated to determine localized soil corrosivity.

b) State whether localized soil conditions will be utilized to increase the number of inspections or state how there will be reasonable assurance that the piping system's current licensing basis function(s) will be maintained without increasing the number of samples in the absence of localized soil data or with results that indicate that the soil is corrosive.

c) State if soil samples will be obtained in the local vicinity of all buried in-scope steel piping systems (excluding fire protection) that are not provided with cathodic protection.

a) To provide additional assurance that the piping will remain capable of performing its intended function, soil will be sampled prior to the period of extended operation (PEO) to confirm that the soil conditions are not corrosive. The number of inspections performed during the PEO will be based on the results of this soil survey. The parameters monitored will be utilized to obtain a comparative corrosion index (corrosivity) for the non-cathodically protected steel piping within the systems monitored. Corrosivity will be determined using established

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 13 of 25 SBK-L- 11062 / Enclosure 1 soil analysis methodology such as EPRI Report 1021470, "Balance of Plant Corrosion - The Buried Pipe Reference Guide", Chapter 8, "Soil Analysis." The EPRI report arrivesat a corrosion index using combined values for soil resistivity, pH, redox potential, sulfides, and moisture in accordance with American Water Works Association standard C105, and considers the soil to be corrosive if the combined value is greater than 10. Table 8-1 of the EPRI report is titled "AWWA C 105 soil corrosivity index" and mirrors the parameters, values and points shown in the AWWA standard.

b) As described in item a. above, soil will be sampled prior to the period of extended operation (PEO) to confirm that the soil conditions are not corrosive. The number of inspections during the PEO will be based on the results of this soil survey. If soil analysis indicates that the soil is corrosive, the number of inspections for non-cathodically protected steel pipe shall be increased from 4 to 6 for non-HAZMAT piping and from 5% to 71/2% for HAZMAT piping during the PEO.

c) Soil samples will be taken at a minimum of two locations in the vicinity of in-scope, non-cathodically protected steel piping to obtain representative soil conditions for each system, excluding fire protection.

d) Soil will be sampled prior to the PEO to confirm that the soil conditions are not corrosive. If the initial survey shows the soil to be non-corrosive, additional soil samples will be taken at least once every 10 years thereafter, during the PEO, to confirm the initial sample results.

Based on the above discussion, the LRA is revised to incorporate soil sampling and analyses as a preventive action and a factor in determining the scope of buried pipe inspections during the PEO as follows:

1. Section A.2.1.22, as submitted in SBK-L-10179 Supplement 1 dated October 29, 2010 (Reference 3), in Enclosure 1, on page 3 of 18, thelst paragraph of program description is revised as follows:

"The Buried Piping and Tanks Inspection Program manages loss of material from the external surfaces of buried, underground, and inaccessible submerged steel, stainless steel, and polymer piping and components. The plant has no buried tanks in scope for license -renewal. Depending on the material, the program includes external coatings, cathodic protection, analyses for soil corrosivity, and quality of backfill as preventive measures to mitigate corrosion."

Request for Additional Information (RAI) B.2.1.22-3

Background:

The applicant's response to RAI B.2.1.22-3, by letter dated January 13, 2011, was not sufficient to resolve all of the staffs questions.

Issue:

The applicant stated that it utilized a Keeler and Long 1000 Kolormastic system and Tapecoat 20 primer and wrap when installing flanges to allow access to the underground service water piping that is exposed to raw water. The applicant also stated that the painting system chosen for the piping is designed to protect the pipe from long term external corrosion when exposed to continuous immersion in brackish stagnant water.

The staff does not have sufficient information related to this coating to independently determine that it will provide protection to the piping when exposed to long term immersion.

Request:

Provide copies of the vendor technical data that demonstrated that the coating system was acceptable for long term immersion in a brackish water environment. Alternatively, if the vendor information is proprietary, provide a copy of the applicable portions of the engineering evaluation of the coating system.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 17 of 25 SBK-L- 11062 / Enclosure 1 NextEra Energy Seabrook Response:

In SBK-L-11003 dated January 13, 2011(Reference 5), response to RAI B.2.1.22-3 Seabrook Station made reference to three different types of pipe coatings inside the Service Water Inspection Vault without adequate explanation of these products. An explanation of the types of coating products installed on the piping in the vault and a description of the physical piping and coating configuration -is provided below.

Coating Systems Utilized in the Service Water Inspection Vault Existing Coal-tar CoatingSystem This is the original vendor applied coal tar coating that was applied to the buried steel and stainless steel piping. This original vendor applied coal tar coating was fabricated and applied in accordance with the requirements of American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard 'C203. This standard also meets the requirements of NACE SP0169-2007, "Standard Practice, Control of External Corrosion on Underground or Submerged Metallic Piping Systems", Table 1.

Tapecoat 20 Tapecoat 20 is a field applied coating system (i.e. for making repairs to the original vendor applied coal tar coating or coating the pipe at field welded joints). Tapecoat 20 is a 58 mil thick, hot applied coal tar coating (in tape form) that meets the original Seabrook Station pipe coating specification as well as the requirements of AWWAC203. See attached Tapecoat Company product sheet.

Keeler and Long 1000 Kolormastic Keeler and Long 1000 Kolormastic is an epoxy based painting system. It utilizes a high solids combination of aluminum and stainless steel pigments dispersed in a two component polyamine epoxy to produce a coating that is chemically resistant. The dry film thickness of one coat of Keeler and Long 1000 Kolormastic is approximately 5-8 mils. See attached KL1000 product sheet.

Physical description of the vault piping and coating configuration To provide access to the service water piping for periodic visual internal inspections, a portion of the underground piping was replaced with a removable spool piece. The modification to create the removable spool piece included excavating the pipe, pouring a concrete vault for future access to the spool pieces, cutting the pipe and installing flanges to the existing pipe and the new spool pieces.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 18 of 25 SBK-L- 11062 / Enclosure 1 The remaining original piping in the vault is coated with the original coal tar epoxy.

The installation of Tapecoat 20 was limited to the restoration of the original vendor applied coal tar coating on the existing pipe ends to which the mating sides of the drop-out spool flanges were welded.

The coating of the drop-out spools, including the flanges, consists of two coats of Keeler and Long 1000 Kolormastic epoxy-based paint with no additional over coating or wrapping. As stated above, the dry film thickness of each coat of Keeler and Long 1000 Kolormastic is approximately 5-8 mils.

Vendor Technical Data/Engineering Evaluation Technical data from the vendor demonstrating that the Keeler and Long 1000 Kolormastic coating system is acceptable for long term immersion is not readily available. As stated in response to RAI B.2.1.22-3, the engineering change document that installed the drop-out spool pieces in the vaults stated that the painting system chosen for the service water piping within the vault was designed to protect the pipe from long term external corrosion based on continuous immersion in brackish, stagnant water. However, no separate engineering evaluation was performed for the specific products utilized for this application.

Method of Inspection/Acceptance Criteria Seabrook Station has determined that periodic inspection of the vault piping is the best approach for managing the aging for these components.

Because the coating on the pipe spools consists only of two layers of paint, visual inspection of the pipe spools in the Service Water Inspection Vault, as prescribed by the Seabrook Station Buried Piping and Tanks Inspection Program (two inspections every ten years) will provide adequate indication of loss of material due to corrosion.

Loss of coating integrity due to blistering, cracking, flaking, peeling, rusting, or physical damage would be readily apparent.

The coating applied to the flange-to-pipe weld and exposed piping outside of the spool piece (Tapecoat 20) meets the original pipe coating specification and AWWA Standard C203. This coating is a hot applied coal tar coating completely saturated into and bonded to both sides of a high tensile strength fabric. In addition, it has a polyester film adhering to the coating which facilitates unwinding of the roll and acts as an outer wrap. As described in the response to RAI B.2.1.22-3, water absorption of coal-tar enamels is extremely low making this the optimum choice of coatings.

This portion of the piping in the Service Water vault will be visually inspected for damage or degradation of the coating.

Per the Seabrook Station Buried Piping and Tanks Inspection program, coated piping will be inspected and evaluated by an individual possessing a NACE operator

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 19 of 25 SBK-L-11062 / Enclosure 1 qualification or by an individual otherwise meeting the qualifications to evaluate coatings, as contained in 49 CFR 192 and 195. Any coating and wrapping degradation will be documented and evaluated under the corrective action program.

Plant Specific Operating Experience Installation of the Service Water Inspection Vault drop-out spools was performed in 1995. Since that time, this vault has been accessed several times to remove one or more of the pipe spools for internal inspection of the Service Water buried piping.

There has been no documented degradation to the paint on the pipe spools or the coal tar epoxy coating on the original pipe ends noted during these inspections.

Based on the above discussion, in Section B.2.1.22, as submitted in License Renewal Supplement 1 dated October 29, 2010 (SBK-L-10179), on Enclosure 1, page 13, the 1st paragraph of Element 6 - Acceptance Criteria is revised as follows:

For coated piping, there should be either no evidence of coating degradation or the type and extent of coating degradation should be insignificant as evaluated by an individual possessing a NACE operator qualification or'by an individual otherwise meeting the qualifications to evaluate coatings as contained in 49 CFR 192 and 195. Any coating and wrapping degradation will be documented and evaluated under the corrective action program. Where the protective coating consists of paint with no other coating or wrapping (e.g., drop-out spools in the Service Water Inspection Vault), inspection of the painted surface should confirm no evidence of coating degradation(exposed metal) or degradation of the pipe surface due to corrosion.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 20 of 25 SBK-L- 11062 / Enclosure 1 Tapecoat 20 Corrosion Protection Features/Specifications/Application Composition:

Tapecoat 20 consists of a specially formulated pliable coal tar coating completely saturated intoand bonded to both sides of a high tensile strength fabric. In addition it has a polyester film adhering to the coating which facilitates unwinding of the roll and acts as an outerwrap, providing additional mechanical strength against backfill and.soil stress.

For the additional plant-specific locations, if CUF, including environmental effects is greater than 1.0, then Corrective Actions will be initiated, in accordance with the Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Program, B.2.3.1. Corrective Actions will include inspection, repair, or replacement of the affected locations before exceeding a CUF of 1.0 or the effects of fatigue will be managed by an inspection program that has been reviewed and approved by the NRC (e.g., periodic non-destructive examination of the affected locations at inspection intervals to be determined by a method accepted by the NRC).
