==Dear Sir or Madam:==
Reference (1) stated in the response to RAI 3.0.3.1.2-1 Part 5a that Underground piping and tanks are below grade, but are contained within a tunnel or vault such that they are in contact with air and are located where access for inspection is restricted. In-scope SSCs that are subject to aging management review at IPEC include no underground piping or tanks. Indian Point made this statement because piping located in underground vaults is periodically accessed for visual inspections during pressure tests. However, during a recent review of the NRC Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) for Buried Piping, LR-ISG-2011-03, a question was raised relative to the definition of restricted and whether the Indian Point definition was consistent with the intent of the ISG. As a result of this question, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc held a conference call with the NRC staff to clarify the definition of restricted as used in the ISG.

Although definition of the term restricted as related to underground piping was not found in NRC guidance documents related to license renewal, during the conference call on October 11, 2012, the NRC Staff indicated that it was intended that piping located in vaults for which access requires more than simply opening a locked access cover should be classified as underground piping. As a result of this change in understanding of the definition of underground piping, Indian Point has identified portions of the service water, city water and fuel oil systems that are located in vaults that require more than unlocking a hatch or cover for access.
