United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 of 45 SBK-L- 14037/ Enclosure 1 LR-ISG-2012-02: Recurring Internal Corrosion Based on a review of the past 10 years of plant-specific OE (August 2003 to August 2013),
recurring internal corrosion has only occurred in the cement lined carbon steel Service Water (SW) piping. The SW piping is managed under the Open-Cycle Cooling Water Program, B.2.1.11.
- a. Description of the aging effect and its extent.
The Seabrook Station SW system piping is fabricated from butt welded, cement lined, carbon steel piping. During construction, joint compound was applied at field welds to seal the cement liner crevices. Defects or degradation of the joint compound as well as random defects in the cement lining allowed sea water intrusion to the carbon steel pipe and subsequent internal corrosion. In some cases, corrosion has led to through wall leakage.
Between 1995 and 2000, elastomeric joint seals (WEKO seals) were installed on field-welded joints in the underground piping. A number of WEKO seals were also installed on some of the above ground field welds. These joint seals consist of an elastomer boot which overlaps the field weld cement liner crevice. These seals were installed to prevent corrosion of cement-lined carbon-steel piping at field welds due to degradation of the original joint compound. Access to piping for joint seal installation and maintenance is via the inspection vaults and dropout spools installed in the SW system.
Seabrook Station had 16 through wall leaks between August 2003 and August 2013 in the SW system. While some leaks occurred at or near a weld joint, some leaks were also found in pipe sections and in fittings. In all cases, repairs were made on-line or during the subsequent refueling outage with no loss of SW system function.
- b. Description of the applicable programs' examination methods to detect the recurring aging mechanism before affecting the ability of a component to perform its intended function.
The maintenance strategy for the SW piping evolved from ultrasonic testing of above ground field welds to internal visual examinations during WEKO seal inspections. In 2006, it was recognized that ultrasonic testing of just above ground field welds was ineffective in identifying areas of future leaks. However, it was determined that identification of rust stains/corrosion nodules during internal inspections was effective in identifying potential liner degradation and areas susceptible to corrosion/wall thinning.
In January, 2011, a leak was identified at the welded area downstream of a butterfly valve. The extent of condition review for this new leak identified that the wall thinning had occurred in an area of turbulent flow. Subsequent to the January 2011 leak, a root cause analysis was performed to address the through wall leaks in the SW system.
The root cause analysis identified lack of a process that requires the assessment of all material condition data (including failures, leaks, repairs, degradation, and, inspection adjustments). In the case of the 2011 leak, this lack of assessment resulted in an inadequate maintenance strategy for SW piping and did not incorporate the long term effects of turbulent sea water flow on lined piping into the inspection plan. Repairs to the SW piping were not trended or analyzed in the aggregate to determine specific causes or to make changes to the maintenance strategy.
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 3 of 45 SBK-L- 14037/ Enclosure 1 As part of the corrective actions, the process was changed to require post outage assessment of SW material condition. The assessment includes all SW material condition data including failures, leaks, repairs, and any degradation. The new process includes reevaluation of the maintenance strategy to determine if changes are warranted. An inspection plan was also developed for the SW piping and incorporates turbulent flow considerations and stagnant locations. In addition to the inspection plan, the process was enhanced to include inspection criteria for various coating materials, a WEKO seal inspection and testing plan, tracking SW system leak history, and trending of repairs to SW piping.
- c. The basis for the adequacy of augmented or lack of augmented inspections.
The augmented inspections (i.e., visual inspection of the pipe liner for indication of degradation) have enabled identification of under-liner corrosion which had occurred due to defects in the liner or liner degradation. Once located, actual wall loss due to corrosion can be evaluated by ultrasonic testing on above ground piping. After removal of liner material in the area of interest for buried piping, wall loss can again be evaluated by ultrasonic testing.
- d. Parameters that will be trended as well as the decision points where increased inspections would be implemented (e.g., extent of degradation at individual corrosion sites, rate of degradation change).
Visual inspection of the pipe liner for indication of degradation has enabled identification of under-liner corrosion which had occurred due to defects in the liner or liner degradation.
Visual inspections are intended to identify defects such as discoloration of the cement liner (rust stains), cracking, and spalling. During visual inspections, other lining materials such as polyurethane, Plastisol, and Belzona are also inspected for defects such as blistering, flaking, peeling, delamination, and rust stains.
The enhanced SW inspection and repair trending process requires trending of all SW material condition data including, inspection results, coating assessment, failures, leaks, repairs, and any degradation. Inspection plans include turbulent flow considerations and stagnant locations as well as repair history. Following identification of any new degradation, maintenance strategies are assessed to determine if changes are warranted.
- e. The basis for parameter testing frequency and how it will be conducted.
An inspection plan, which identifies areas of piping that require inspections during each refueling outage, is maintained on an ongoing basis. The lines to be inspected correspond with the applicable train related outage. High susceptible locations are inspected more frequently. For example, each SW strainer bypass line is inspected on an every other refueling outage frequency.
- f. Description of how inspections of not easily accessed components will be conducted (i.e.,
buried, underground).
Inspection vaults and dropout spools have been installed in the SW system to allow access to the buried and underground pipe internals.
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 4 of 45 SBK-L- 14037/ Enclosure I
- g. Identification of leaks in buried components.
Buried piping is periodically visually inspected for indications of degraded coating as part of the SW inspection plan. The WEKO seals in the buried piping are also periodically leak tested and repaired or replaced if found to be defective. Access to the buried piping is via the inspection vaults and dropout spools installed in the SW system.
- h. The program(s) that will be augmented to include the above requirements.
Recurring internal corrosion observed in the SW system has been due to coating degradation or failure. As discussed in the "Loss of Coating Integrity for Service Level III (augmented) Internal Coatings" section of this supplement letter, the Open-Cycle Cooling Water System Program will be further enhanced to specifically include management of loss of coating integrity due to blistering, cracking, flaking, peeling, or physical damage of Service Level III (augmented) internal coatings in the SW system (Ref. new commitment #79).
LR-ISG-2012-02: Representative Minimum Sample Size for Periodic Inspections in GALL Report AMP XI.M38, "Inspection of Internal Surfaces in Miscellaneous Piping and Ducting Components" The Seabrook Station Inspections of Internal Surfaces in Miscellaneous Piping and Ducting Components Program will be enhanced to include performance of focused examinations to provide a representative sample of 20%, or a maximum of 25, of each identified material, environment, and aging effect combination in each 10 year period during the period of extended operation. Where practical, the population to be inspected will be selected from components most susceptible to aging because of time in service and severity of operating conditions.
Based on the above discussion, the LRA has been revised as follows:
- 1. In LRA Appendix B, in Section B.2.1.25 (Inspection of Internal Surfaces in Miscellaneous Piping and Ducting Components), on page B-I135, the following paragraphs of the Program Description have been revised as follows:
- a. The 2 nd paragraph on page B-139 is revised as follows:
The program inspections will be include inspections of opportunity, performed during pre-planned periodic system and component surveillances or during maintenance activities when the systems are opened and the surfaces made accessible for visual inspection. This maintenance may occur during power operations or refueling outages when many systems are opened. The program also includes focused inspections as needed to ensure that a representative sample of material, environment, and aging effect combinations are periodically evaluated. The visual inspections will assure that existing environmental conditions are not causing material degradation that could result in a loss of the component intended function. The program will include indication of borated water leakage on internal surfaces. The Seabrook Station program will provide for visual inspection
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 5 of 45 SBK-L- 14037/ Enclosure I activities performed by personnel who are qualified in accordance with site controlled procedures and processes.
- b. The 2 nd full paragraph on page B-140 is revised as follows:
Visual inspections of internal surfaces of plant components w4i--may be performed during maintenance or surveillance activities. The presence of corrosion or fouling will be identified by visual inspection as localized discoloration and surface irregularities such as rust, scale/deposits, surface pitting, surface discontinuities and coating degradation.
Metallic components including aluminum, brass or bronze, cast austenitic stainless steel, copper alloy, copper nickel and stainless steel will exlhibit indications of loss of material on the surface similar to steel material and visual inspections will be capable of detecting any surface breaking flaws (i.e., cracks or surface areas that have exhibited loss of material) that occur on the same side as that being examined.
- c. The 1st full paragraph on page B-141 is revised as follows:
The system engineer review of inspection results will help ensure that the extent and schedule of inspections and testing detect component degradation prior to loss of intended function. The responsible engineer will ensure that an adequate number of inspections have been performed during each 10 year period during the period of extended operation. Where practical,components falling under this program will be assigned to groups of similar material,environment, and aging effect combinations.Approximately 20% of each group, with a maximum of 25 components of a group, will be inspected each 10 year periodin the period of extended operation. Wiere practical,tihe population to be inspected is selectedfrom components most susceptible to aging because of time ill service and severity of operatingconditions. Opportunisticinspections continue in each period despite meeting the sampling limit.
- 2. In the Enhancements section of B.2.1.25, on page B-143, a new enhancement has been added as follows:
Enhancements None The following enhancement will be made prior to entering the period of extended operation.
- 1. The Seabrook Station Inspections of Internal Surfaces in Miscellaneous Piping and Ducting Components Program will be enhanced to include performance of focused examinations to provide a representative sample of 20%, or a maximum of 25, of each identified material, environment, and aging effect combination in each 10 year period during the periodof extended operation. Whiere practical,the population to be inspected is selected from components most susceptible to aging because of time in service and severity of operatingconditions.
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 6 of 45 SBK-L- 1403 7/ Enclosure 1
- 3. In LRA Appendix A, in Section A.2.1.25 (Inspection of Internal Surfaces in Miscellaneous Piping and Ducting Components), on Page A-15, the second paragraph has been revised as follows:
The program inspections are inspections of opportunity, performed during pre-planned periodic system and component surveillances or during maintenance activities when the systems are opened and the surfaces made accessible for visual inspection. This maintenance may occur during power operations or refueling outages when many systems are opened.
Inspections of opportunity are supplemented with focused inspections to ensure that a representative sample of material, environment, and aging effect combinations are inspected in each 10 yearperiod during the period of extended operation. Where practical, the population to be inspected is selectedfrom components most susceptible to aging because of time in service and severity of operatingconditions. Opportunisticinspections continue in each period despite meeting the sampling limit. The visual inspections assure that existing environmental conditions are not causing material degradation that could result in a loss of the component intended function.

LR-ISG-2012-02: Flow Blockage of Water-Based Fire Protection System Piping, GALL Report AMP XI.M27, "Fire Water System"
- a. The following information is provided demonstrating consistency with the requirements for inspections of fire water system components relative to Table 4a (Fire Water System Inspection and Testing Recommendations) provided in LR-ISG-2012-02.
- 1. Sprinklers - Inspections Sprinklers within the scope of License Renewal are inspected every 18 months, consistent with the Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL) Property Standards for Fire Protection Systems Testing. NFPA 25 (2011 Edition) specifies an annual inspection of sprinklers from floor level.
The Fire Water System Program will be enhanced to perform sprinkler inspections annually per the guidance provided in NFPA 25 (2011 Edition) Section 5.2.1.1.
Inspection will ensure that sprinklers are free of corrosion, foreign materials, paint, and physical damage and installed in the proper orientation (e.g., upright, pendant, or
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 7 of 45 SBK-L- 14037/ Enclosure 1 sidewall). Any sprinkler that is painted, corroded, damaged, loaded, or in the improper orientation, and any glass bulb sprinkler where the bulb has emptied, will be evaluated for replacement (Ref. new commitment #74).
- 2. Sprinklers - Testing Per LRA Appendix B, Section B.2.1.16 and current commitment #9, the Seabrook Station Fire Water System Program includes the guidance referenced in NFPA 25 (2011 Edition) that where sprinklers have been in place for 50 years, they will be replaced or representative samples from one or more sample areas will be submitted to a recognized testing laboratory for field service testing. If laboratory testing is credited in lieu of replacement, this testing will be performed every 10 years after the initial field service testing to ensure that signs of degradation, such as corrosion, are detected in a timely manner.
This activity is consistent with NFPA 25 (2011 Edition).
- 3. Standpipe and Hose Systems - Flow Tests Seabrook performs 5 year flow tests to validate NEIL Loss Control Standards - Chapter 4 Table I Standpipe & Hose, Section 1.2 which states the following:
"A flow test needs to be conducted at the hydraulically most remote hose connection of each zone of a standpipe system to verify the water supply still adequately provides the design pressure at the required flow. Where a flow test of the hydraulically most remote outlet(s) is not practical, NSO/NEIL needs to be consulted while determining the appropriate location for the test. A flow test needs to be conducted every 5 years."
This activity is consistent with NFPA 25 (2011 Edition).
- 4. Private Fire Service Mains - Underground and Exposed Piping Flow Tests The Fire Protection System mains are flushed annually to prove the operability of the system. Each valve operated is flowed to insure an adequate flush of the systems' piping has been achieved. The valve is flushed for two minutes or until clear water is emitted.
A 3-year flow test is conducted for flow verification of the fire protection water system on a sufficient number of hydrants to determine the capacity of the system in the area tested.
This activity is consistent with NFPA 25 (2011 Edition).
- 5. Private Fire Service Mains - Hydrants The Yard Hydrant Semi-Annual Inspection and Functional Test is performed at least once per six months by visually inspecting each yard fire hydrant, adding oil to the top of each hydrant to lubricate the hydrant main valve, cycling each hydrant main valve and flowing water from each hydrant for at least two minutes. Each hydrant is checked annually to verify it is draining properly, and, if not a self-draining type, the barrel is pumped out if required.
This activity is consistent with NFPA 25 (2011 Edition).
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 8 of 45 SBK-L- 14037/ Enclosure 1
- 6. Fire Pumps The fire pumps are tested by the Fire Pumps Annual Test. However, the fire pumps take suction off fire water storage tanks and do not have suction strainers and therefore, the activity specified in NFPA 25 (2011 Edition), Section 8.3.3.7 is not applicable.
- 7. Water Storage Tanks - Exterior Inspection The Seabrook Station Aboveground Steel Tanks Program, B.2.1.17, includes the required inspections of the fire water tanks. The tank foundation and supports are to be included in the Structures Monitoring Program. The Fire Water System Program will be enhanced to perform exterior inspection of the fire water storage tanks annually for signs of degradation per the guidance provided in NFPA 25 (2011 Edition) Section 9.2.5.5 (Ref.
new commitment #76)
- 8. Water Storage Tanks - Interior Inspection Per LRA Appendix B, Section B.2.1.16 and current commitment # 13, the internal bottom surface of the two fire protection water storage tanks will be UT inspected and evaluated within ten years prior to the period of extended operation.
Fire Protection Water Storage Tanks are inspected on a 5 year interval for adherent scale, coating bubbles or blisters, delamination of coating, pitting, corrosion, spalling, rot or other forms of deterioration, and aquatic growth (tubercules and slimes shall be sampled, if possible, and tested for microbiological influenced corrosion); recirculation lines, pipe supports, and other piping is inspected; the anti-vortex plate is inspected for deterioration or blockage. When inspections are made by means of underwater evaluation, silt is removed from the tank floor to facilitate the inspection.
This activity is consistent with NFPA 25 (2011 Edition).
- 9. Valves and System-Wide Testing - Main Drain Test During the 18-month Deluge and Preaction Sprinkler Valve Actuation Test Flow and System Alarms Test, main drain flow verification is performed for each system tested to ensure that the isolation valve that was closed for the test has not failed and has been returned to full open and to verify the operability of all the flow alarms. This is done by performing a test to simulate a flow to the flow alarm pressure switch, and a test of the air or nitrogen supervisory system low pressure alarm, if applicable. Main drain flow verification includes recording flow prior to and during flow through the main drain and calculating the respective pressure drops.
NFPA 25 (2011 Edition) Section 13.2.5 requires that main drain test be conducted annually at each water-based fire protection system riser to determine whether there has been a change in the condition of the water supply piping and control valves.
Additionally, Section 13.2.5.2 requires that if there is a 10 percent reduction in full flow pressure when compared to the original acceptance tests or previously performed tests, the cause of the reduction be identified and corrected if necessary. Furthermore, Section A. 13.2.5 requires recording the time taken for the supply water pressure to return to the original static (nonflowing) pressure.
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 9 of 45 SBK-L- 1403 7/ Enclosure 1 The Fire Water System Program will be enhanced to a) revise the frequency of main drain testing to annually, b) to include a requirement that if there is a 10 percent reduction in full flow pressure when compared to the original acceptance tests or previously performed tests, the cause of the reduction shall be identified and corrected if necessary, and c) recording the time taken for the supply water pressure to return to the original static (nonflowing) pressure consistent with NFPA 25 (2011 Edition) Section 13.2.5 and A. 13.2.5 (Ref. new commitments #76 and #77).
- 10. Valves and System-Wide Testing - Deluge Valves The auto initiation of deluge spray and preaction sprinkler system valves is tested every 18 months by an actuation signal from the local fire alarm panel. Alarms must be generated at the detectors or at a remote manual pull station to achieve the automatic activation. Main drain flow verification will be performed for each system tested to ensure that the isolation valve that was closed for the test has not failed and has been returned to full open and to verify the operability of all the flow alarms. This is done by performing a test to simulate a flow to the flow alarm pressure switch, and a test of the air or nitrogen supervisory system low pressure alarm, if applicable.
The Fire Water System Program will be enhanced to revise the frequency of deluge and preaction valve actuation testing to annually, consistent with NFPA 25 (2011 Edition)
Section 13.4.3.2.2 (Ref. new commitment #76).
An Open Head Spray Nozzle Air Flow Test is performed every 3 years to verify that the open heads and branch lines on the deluge system are free of debris and not blocked.
This is done by connecting the selected deluge system to the service air system and observing air flow through each sprinkler head.
This activity is consistent with NFPA 25 (2011 Edition).
- 11. Water Spray Fixed Systems - Strainers Water spray fixed systems strainers are cleaned every 5 years during the wet sprinkler alarm valve inspection/maintenance, deluge or sprinkler flooding valve inspection/maintenance, and deluge or sprinkler multimatic valve inspection/maintenance.
This activity is consistent with NFPA 25 (2011 Edition).
- 12. Water Spray Fixed Systems - Operation Test An Open Head Spray Nozzle Air Flow Test is performed every 3 years to verify that the open heads and branch lines on the deluge system are free of debris and not blocked.
This is done by connecting the selected deluge system to the service air system and observing air flow through each sprinkler head.
This activity is consistent with NFPA 25 (2011 Edition).
- 13. Obstruction Investigation - Internal Inspection of Piping
- a. The Fire Water System Program will be enhanced to conduct an inspection of piping and branch line conditions every 5 years by opening a flushing connection at the end of one main and by removing a sprinkler toward the end of one branch line for the purpose of inspecting for the presence of foreign organic and inorganic material per
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 10 of 45 SBK-L- 14037/ Enclosure 1 the guidance provided in NFPA 25 (2011 Edition) Section 14.2.2 (Ref. new commitment #75).
- b. Follow-up volumetric examinations are conducted when internal visual inspections detect surface irregularities that could be indicative of wall loss below nominal pipe wall thickness. Per LRA Appendix B, Section B.2.1.16 and current commitment #11, the Seabrook Station Fire Water System Program is to be enhanced to include the performance of periodic visual inspection or volumetric inspection, as required, of the internal surface of the fire protection system upon each entry to the system for routine or corrective maintenance to evaluate wall thickness and inner diameter of the fire protection piping.
- c. Per LRA Appendix B, Section B.2.1.16 and current commitment #10, the Seabrook Station Fire Water System Program is to be enhanced to include the performance of periodic flow testing of the fire water system per the guidance provided in NFPA 25 (2011 Edition) prior to the period of extended operation. Therefore, no further change is necessary.
- d. The Station's Fixed Fire Suppression Systems installation specification states that
"[a]ll piping shall be pitched to permit complete drainage of the system. Drain valves shall be provided at all low points of the system." Therefore, no further change is necessary.
- e. The Fire Water System Program will be enhanced to include periodic inspection of the fire water storage tanks (Ref. revised commitment #13). This activity, which includes annual external inspections, five-year interval internal tank inspections, and ultrasonic testing of the tank bottom interior surface prior to entering the PEO, was previously included in the Seabrook Aboveground Steel Tanks aging management program. The following has been added to the Fire Water System Program basis document:
Periodic inspection and testing of the fire water tanks is performed using the guidance in NFPA 25 (2011 Edition). The exterior surface of tanks FP-TK-36-A and FP-TK-36-B are inspected annually. Internal inspections are performed on a 5 year interval for adherent scale, coating bubbles or blisters, delamination of coating, pitting, corrosion, spalling, rot or other forms of deterioration and aquatic growth. The Fire Water System Program will be enhanced to require the performance of a UT inspection and evaluation of the internal bottom surface of the two Fire Protection Water Storage Tanks within ten years prior to the period of extended operation.
Based on the information provided above, the following changes have been made to the License Renewal Application.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 28 of 45 SBK-L- 1403 7/ Enclosure 1 LR-ISG-2012-02: Revisions to the Scope and Inspection Recommendations of GALL Report AMP XI.M29, "Above Ground Metallic Tanks" Review of the Seabrook Station component database indicates that there are three indoor water storage tanks that meet the following criteria:
- i. have a large volume (i.e., greater than 100,000 gallons) ii. are designed to near-atmospheric internal pressures iii. sit on concrete or soil iv. are exposed internally to water The indoor tanks that meet the above criteria are as follows:
Tank ID Volume Material Internal (gallons) Environment CBS-TK-8 475000 Stainless steel Treated Borated (Refueling Water Storage Tank) Water CO-TK-25 (Condensate Storage Tank)* 400,000 Stainless steel Treated Water RMW-TK- 12 (ReacTor M112,000 (Reactor Makeup Water Storage Tank)I Stainless steel Treated Water
- Condensate Storage Tank is enclosed in a concrete structure and therefore, the tank sides are not accessible for external inspections. Only the dome of the tank, which is exposed to air-outdoor, is accessible for external inspections.
The Seabrook Station Aboveground Steel Tanks Program, B.2.1.17, has been revised to include tanks CBS-TK-8, CO-TK-25, and RMW-TK-12 in to the scope of the program. Additionally, fire water storage tanks, FP-TK-36A and 36 B, have been removed from the scope of the Above Ground Steel Tanks program. Fire water storage tanks will be age managed under the Fire Water System aging management program as recommended by LR-ISG-2012-02.
In accordance with the recommendations of LR-ISG-2012-02, Appendix M, Table 4a, the three indoor tanks listed above will be inspected as follows:
- a. For managing loss of material on the internal surfaces of stainless steel indoor tanks exposed to treated-water or treated borated water, visual inspections will be performed from inside the tank or volumetric examinations from outside tank using the One-Time Inspection Program. At least 25 percent of the tank's internal surface will be inspected by a method capable of precisely determining wall thickness. The inspection method must be capable of detecting both general and pitting corrosion and must be qualified and demonstrated effective by the NextEra Energy Seabrook. The one-time inspection must occur within the 5-year period prior to entering the PEO.
- b. For managing cracking on the external surfaces of stainless steel indoor tanks exposed to air-indoor uncontrolled, surface examinations will be performed each 10-year period
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 29 of 45 SBK-L- 1403 7/ Enclosure 1 starting 10 years before the period of extended operation. A minimum of either 25 1-square-foot sections for tank surfaces or I-linear-foot of weld length, or 20 percent of the tank's surface are examined. The sample inspection points are distributed such that inspections occur in those areas most susceptible to degradation (e.g., areas where contaminants could collect, inlet and outlet nozzles, welds).
- c. For managing loss of material on the external surfaces of stainless steel tanks exposed to air-outdoor (dome of the Condensate Storage Tank), visual examinations of the outside surfaces will be performed every 18-months. For managing cracking on the external surfaces of stainless steel tanks exposed to air-outdoor, surface examinations will be performed each 10-year period starting 10 years before the period of extended operation.
A minimum of either 25 1-square-foot sections for tank surfaces or I-linear-foot of weld length or 20 percent of the tank's surface are examined. The sample inspection points are distributed such that inspections occur in those areas most susceptible to degradation (e.g., areas where contaminants could collect, inlet and outlet nozzles, welds).
- d. For managing loss of material on the external surfaces of stainless steel indoor tank bottoms exposed to soil or concrete, volumetric examinations will be performed from inside the tanks each 10-year period starting 10 years before the period of extended operation. For tank bottoms exposed to soil, a one-time inspection may be conducted in accordance with GALL Report AMP XI.M32 in lieu of periodic inspections if an evaluation conducted prior to the PEO and during each 10-year period during the PEO demonstrates that the soil under the tank is not corrosive using actual soil samples that are analyzed for each individual parameter (e.g., resistivity, pH, redox potential, sulfides, sulfates, moisture) and overall soil corrosivity. The evaluation should include soil sampling from underneath the tank.
The following tanks are within the scope of LR and located outdoors. These tanks have an internal environment of fuel oil. Fuel Oil Chemistry Program, B.2.1.18, is used to manage loss of material on the internal surfaces of fuel oil storage tanks. Inspections to identify aging of the external surfaces of tank bottoms and tank shells exposed to soil or concrete are conducted in accordance with the Aboveground Steel Tanks Program, B.2.1.17.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 30 of 45 SBK-L- 14037/ Enclosure 1 In accordance with the recommendations of LR-ISG-2012-02, Appendix M, Table 4a, the three outdoor tanks listed above will be inspected as follows:
- a. For managing loss of material on the external surfaces of steel tanks exposed to air-outdoor, visual examinations of the outside surfaces will be performed during each refueling outage.
- b. For managing loss of material on the external surfaces of steel tank bottoms exposed to soil or concrete, volumetric examinations will be performed from inside the tanks each 10-year period starting 10 years before the period of extended operation. A one-time inspection conducted in accordance with GALL Report AMP XI.M32 may be conducted in lieu of periodic inspections if an evaluation conducted prior to the PEO and during each 10-year period during the PEO demonstrates that the soil under the tank is not corrosive using actual soil samples that are analyzed for each individual parameter (e.g.,
resistivity, pH, redox potential, sulfides, sulfates, moisture) and overall soil corrosivity.
The evaluation should include soil sampling from underneath the tank.
Based on the above discussion, the following changes have been made to the LRA.
A. In LRA Section 3, the following new environment has been added to Sections 3.2.2.1.2 (Containment Building Spray System), 3.3.2.1.31 (Reactor Makeup Water System), and 3.4.2.1.5 (Condensate System).

The LRA changes related to the timing, frequency, and extent of these inspections are as follows:
A. LRA Section 2.1.3, "Insulation", on page 2.1-23 and 2.1-24 has been revised as follows:
At Seabrook Station, thermal insulation was treated as a passive, long lived component during the scoping and screening process. There is no aging effect for thermal insulation in an "air-indoor uncontrolled" environment, however, aluminum insulation jacketing in "air with borated water leakage environment" would have an aging effect of loss of material due to boric acid corrosion. This aging effect will be age managed by the Boric Acid Corrosion Program. Additionally, visual inspections are conducted on insulationjacketing under the External Surfaces Monitoring Program to ensure that no aging effects are impairing the function of the thermal insulation. The intended function for "Insulation" per Table 2.1-1 is "Provide temperature control."
For license renewal purposes, thermal insulation jacketing is being addressed as a commodity group in the civil / structural section of the license renewal application. Therefore, insulation is not included as a separate component type in each mechanical in scope system. The thermal insulation jacketing is shown in Table 3.5.2-6.
B. In LRA Appendix B, in Section B.2.1.24 (External Surfaces Monitoring), on page B-133, the 3 rd paragraph has been removed from the Program Description as shown below:

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 39 of 45 SBK-L- 1403 7/ Enclosure 1 C. License Renewal Application, Appendix B, Section B.2.1.24 (External Surfaces Monitoring),
on page B-135, the following new paragraphs have been added to end of the Program Description as follows:
The External Surfaces Monitoring Program includes visual inspections on insulation jacketing to ensure that no aging effects are impairing the function of the thermal insulation. The External Surfaces Monitoring Program also includes examination of surfaces under insulation. For systems that are within the scope of License Renewal and susceptible to corrosion under insulation, removal of insulation and inspections will be performed duringeach 1 0-yearperiod of the PEO.
For in-scope outdoor components (except tanks) that are insulated and in-scope indoor components that are exposed to condensation (in-scope components are operated below the dew point), removal of insulation and inspection will be performed asfollows:
- 1) 20% of the piping length for each material type or 20% of the surface area for components where its configuration does not conform to a 1-foot axial length determination(e.g., valve, accumulator)or,
- 2) Any combination of 25 1-foot axial length sections and componentsfor each material type. Inspections will be conducted in each air environment (e.g., air-outdoor,moist air) where condensation or moisture on the surfaces of the component could occur routinely or seasonally. In some instances, although indoor air is conditioned, significantmoisture can accumulate under insulation during high humidity seasons.
For outdoor tanks and indoor tanks exposed to condensation, remove the insulationfront either 25 1-square-foot sections or 20 percent of the surface area and inspect the exterior surface of the tank. The sample inspection points should be distributed such that inspections occur on the tank dome, sides, near the bottom, at points where structural supports or instrument nozzles penetrate the insulation, and where water collects such as on top of stiffening rings.
Inspection locations should be based on the likelihood of corrosion under insulation occurring (e.g., alternate wetting and drying in environments where trace contaminants could be present,length of time the system operates below the dewpoint).
Removal of tightly adhering insulation that is impermeable to moisture is not required unless there is evidence of damage to the moisture barrier.If the moisture barrieris intact, the likelihood of corrosion under insulation is low for tightly adhering insulation. Tightly adhering insulation should be considered to be a separatepopulationfrom the remainder of insulation installed on il-scope components. The entire population of in-scope piping that has tightly adhering insulation should be visually inspected for damage to the moisture barrier with the same frequency as for other types of insulation inspections.
These inspections would not be credited towards the inspection quantitiesfor other types of insulation.
Subsequent inspections may consist of examination of the exterior surface of the insulation for indications of damage to the jacketing or protective outer layer of the insulation when the following conditions are verified in the initialinspection:
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 40 of 45 SBK-L- 1403 7/ Enclosure I
- i. no loss of materialdue to general,pitting or crevice corrosion, beyond that which could have been present during initialconstruction, and ii. no evidence of SCC.
If the external visual inspections of the insulation reveal damage to the exterior surface of the insulation or there is evidence of water intrusion through the insulation (e.g. water seepage through insulation seams/joints), periodic inspections under the insulation should continue as describedabove.

Aging Management of Loss of Coating Integrity for Internal Coatings
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 of 16 SBK-L-14037 / Enclosure 2 Aging Management of Loss of Coating Integrity for Internal Service Level III (augmented)
Coatings NextEra Energy Seabrook has components within the scope of License Renewal that are coated and subject to the aging effect of loss of coating integrity due to blistering, cracking, flaking, peeling, or physical damage.
The vast majority of the Service Water (SW) system piping is fabricated from butt welded, cement lined, carbon steel piping. During construction, joint compound was applied at field welded joints to seal the cement liner crevices. Defects or degradation of the joint compound as well as random defects in the cement lining allowed sea water intrusion to the carbon steel pipe and subsequent internal corrosion.. In some cases, corrosion has led to through wall leakage.
Repairs were made on-line or during the subsequent refueling outage with no loss of SW system function. Further discussion related to through wall leaks in the SW cement lined piping is provided in the "Recurring Internal Corrosion" section of this supplement letter.
Seabrook Station also has plant specific OE related to the degradation of the Plastisol PVC lining in the SW piping. In 1994, the cement SW piping associated with the Diesel Generator heat exchangers (DGHXs) was replaced with Plastisol PVC lined carbon steel piping. In July 2011, Service Water flow through the Train 'B' DGHX was identified as being degraded. Subsequent inspection of the Train 'B' DGHX downstream flow orifice revealed that pieces of the Plastisol PVC lining had detached from the pipe and was partially restricting flow through the orifice.
NextEra Seabrook has previously provided the staff details of the Plastisol PVC lining failure in SBK-L-12023 dated February 7, 2012 (Supplement 19, Enclosure 1), SBK-L-12084 dated April 26, 2012 (Supplement 22, Enclosure 1), and SBK-L-12217 dated November 2, 2012 (Supplement 27, Enclosure 2). As stated in SBK-L-12084, NextEra Seabrook made a commitment (Commitment #69) to replace the DGHX Plastisol PVC lined SW piping with piping fabricated from AL6XN material prior to entering the period of extended operation.
Plastisol PVC lined piping in the "A" train of the Diesel Generator Heat Exchanger (DGHX) piping was replaced with AL6XN material during Refueling Outage 15 (Fall of 2012). Replacement of the Plastisol PVC lined piping in the "B" train is scheduled for Refueling Outage 16 (Spring of 2014).
In response to NextEra Seabrook's review of draft LR-ISG-2013-01, "Aging Management of Loss of Coating Integrity For Internal Service Level III (Augmented) Coatings" and review of the Staffs questions to Sequoyah and Callaway, NextEra Energy Seabrook has made the following changes to the LRA to address aging effects of Service Level III (augmented) internal coatings. NextEra Energy Seabrook recognizes that LR-ISG-2013-01 is currently in the final stages of comment resolution and approval. Upon issuance, NextEra will evaluate the final version and subsequent revisions under the associated operating experience program elements.
Definition of Internal Service Level III (augmented) Coatings:
All coatings applied to the internal surfaces of an in-scope component if its degradation could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the functions identified under 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(1),
(a)(2), or (a)(3). Service Level III (augmented) coatings are those:
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 3 of 16 SBK-L-14037 / Enclosure 2
- a. Used in areas outside of the reactor containment whose failure could adversely affect the safety function of a safety-related SSC or,
- b. Applied to the internal surfaces of in-scope components and whose failure could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the functions identified under 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(3).
The term "coating" includes inorganic (e.g., zinc-based) or organic (e.g., elastomeric or polymeric) coatings, linings (e.g., rubber, cementitious), and concrete surfaces that are designed to adhere to a component to protect its surface. The terms "paint" and "linings" are considered as coatings.
The scope of the program changes include those components exposed to closed-cycle cooling water, raw water, treated water, treated borated water, fuel oil, and lubricating oil. Aging effects for these components will be managed as described below. Fire water storage tanks are not included in the scope of aging management of Service Level III (augmented) internal coatings.
As described in LR-ISG-2012-02, the internal surfaces of fire water storage tanks will be inspected to the requirements of NFPA 25 (Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems).
- a. The inspection method The program changes consist of periodic visual inspections of Service Level III (augmented) internal coatings.
- b. The parameters to be inspected The program includes visual inspections for indication of blistering, cracking, flaking, peeling, or physical damage.
- c. When inspections will commence and the frequency of subsequent inspections
" Baseline visual inspections of coatings installed on the interior surfaces of in-scope components will be conducted in the 10-year period prior to the PEO.
" Subsequent inspections are based on an evaluation of the effect of a coating failure on the in-scope component's intended function, potential problems identified during prior inspections, and known service life history. Subsequent inspection intervals are established by a coating specialist. Inspection intervals however, will not exceed those shown in the below table.
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 4 of 16 SBK-L-14037 / Enclosure 2 Inspection Intervals for Internal Service Level III (augmented) Coatings for Tanks, Piping, and Heat Exchangers 1.6 Inspection Category 2 Inspection Interval A 6 years' B4 , 5 4 years C5 Inspections occur during the next 2 refueling outage intervals
- 1. Current licensing basis requirements (e.g. Generic Letter 89-13) might require more frequent inspections.
- 2. Inspection Categories A. No peeling, delamination, blisters, or rusting are observed during inspections. Any cracking and flaking has been found acceptable in accordance with the acceptance criteria. No spalling in cementitious coatings.
B. Prior inspection results do not meet Inspection Category A. However, a coating specialist has determined that no remediation is required.
C. Newly installed coatings or coatings that have been repaired or replaced.
- 3. If the following conditions are met, the inspection interval may be extended to 12 years:
- a. The identical coating material was installed with the same installation requirements in redundant trains with the same operating conditions and at least one of the trains is inspected every 6 years.
- b. The coating is not in a location subject to turbulence (e.g., piping downstream of control valve).
- 4. Specific locations that resulted in subsequent inspections being conducted to Inspection Category B or C are re-inspected as well as new locations.
- 5. When conducting inspections to Inspection Category B, if two sequential subsequent inspections demonstrate no change in coating condition, subsequent inspections may be conducted at six-year intervals.
- 6. Internal inspection intervals for diesel fuel storage tanks may meet either this table or if the inspection results meet Inspection Category A.
- d. The extent of inspections The extent of inspections is based on an evaluation of the effect of a coating failure on the in-scope component's intended function, potential problems identified during prior inspections, and known service life history. Inspection locations are selected based on susceptibility to degradation and consequences of failure.
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 5 of 16 SBK-L-14037 / Enclosure 2
- All accessible internal coated surfaces of in-scope tanks and heat exchangers will be inspected.
- A representative sample of internally coated piping components not less than 73 1-foot axial length circumferential segments of piping or 50% of the total length of each coating material and environment combination will be inspected. The inspection surface includes the entire inside surface of the 1-foot sample. If geometric limitations impede movement of remote or robotic inspection tools, the number of inspection segments is increased in order to cover an equivalent of 73 1-foot axial length sections. For example, if the remote tool can only be maneuvered to view 1/3 of the inside surface, then 219 feet of pipe is inspected.
The above listed inspection of coatings may be omitted if the degradation of coatings cannot result in downstream effects such as reduction in flow, drop in pressure, or reduction in heat transfer for in-scope components. However, inspections are performed if corrosion rates or inspection intervals have been based on the integrity of the coatings. In this case, loss of coating integrity could result in unanticipated or accelerated corrosion rates of the base metal.
Alternatively, if corrosion of the base material is the only issue related to coating degradation of the component, external wall thickness measurements can be performed to confirm the acceptability of the corrosion rate of the base metal.
- e. The training and qualification of individuals involved in coating inspections Coatings specialists and inspectors will be qualified in accordance with ASTM International Standards.
- f. How monitoring and trending of coating degradation will be conducted Monitoring and trending includes pre-inspection reviews of the previous two inspection results and any subsequent repair activities. The review is performed by a coatings specialist and includes a list and location of all areas evidencing deterioration, a prioritization of the repair areas into areas that must be repaired before returning the system to service, areas where repair can be postponed to the next inspection, and, where possible, photographic evidence of inspection locations. When corrosion of the base material is the only issue related to coating degradation of the component, external wall thickness measurements can be used to in lieu of internal visual inspections of the coating and the corrosion rate of the base metal trended.
- g. Acceptance criteria
- Indications of peeling and delamination are not acceptable and the coatings are repaired or replaced. For coated surfaces that show evidence of delamination or peeling, physical testing is performed where physically possible. The test consists of destructive or
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 6 of 16 SBK-L-14037 / Enclosure 2 nondestructive adhesion testing using ASTM International Standards. A minimum of three sample points adjacent to the defective area are tested.
- Blisters are evaluated by a coating specialist. However, inspections are conducted to ensure that the blister is completely surrounded by sound coating bonded to the surface.
If coatings are credited for corrosion prevention, the component's base material in the vicinity of the blister is inspected to determine if unanticipated corrosion has occurred.
- Indications such as cracking, flaking, and rusting are to be evaluated by a coating specialist.
- Minor cracking and spalling of cementitious coatings is acceptable provided there is no evidence that the coating is debonding from the base material.
- As applicable, wall thickness measurements meet design minimum wall requirements.
- Adhesion values provide reasonable assurance that the coating will remain bonded to the substrate as evaluated by the coating specialist.
- h. Corrective actions for coatings that do not meet acceptance criteria, and Indications noted will be entered into the Seabrook Station Corrective Action Program for appropriate disposition.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 8 of 14 SBK-L-14037 / Enclosure 3 No. PROGRAM or TOPIC COMMITMENT UFSAR SCHEDULE LOCATION NextEra Seabrook will perform a review of design basis ASME Class 1 component fatigue evaluations to determine whether the NUREG/CR-6260-based components that have been evaluated for the effects of the reactor coolant environment on fatigue usage are the limiting components for the Seabrook plant configuration. If more limiting components are identified, the most limiting component will be evaluated for the effects of the reactor coolant environment on fatigue usage. If the limiting location identified consists of nickel alloy, the environmentally-assisted fatigue calculation for nickel alloy will be performed using the rules of NUREG/CR-6909.
(1) Consistent with the Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Program Seabrook Station will update the fatigue usage calculations using refined fatigue analyses, if necessary, to determine acceptable CUFs (i.e., less than 1.0) when accounting for the effects of the reactor water At least two years prior to Environmentally-Assisted

(2) If acceptable CUFs cannot be demonstrated for all the selected locations, then additional plant-specific locations will be evaluated. 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).

- 1) Perform a one-time inspection of a representative sample of tube-to-tubesheet welds in all steam generators to determine if PWSCC cracking is present and, if cracking is identified, resolve the condition through engineering evaluation justifying continued operation or repair the condition, as appropriate, and establish an ongoing monitoring program to perform routine tube-to-Steam Generator Tube tubesheet weld inspections for the remaining life of the steam A.2.1.10 Complete Integrity generators, or
- 2) Perform an analytical evaluation showing that the structural integrity of the steam generator tube-to-tubesheet interface is adequately maintaining the pressure boundary in the presence of tube-to-tubesheet weld cracking, or redefining the pressure boundary in which the tube-to-tubesheet weld is no longer included and, therefore, is not required for reactor coolant pressure boundary function. The redefinition of the reactor coolant pressure boundary must be approved by the NRC as part of a license amendment request.
