| ===Background===
| | ==Background:== |
| : The license renewal application (LRA) Section B2.1.7, Buried Piping and Tanks Inspection Program, states that it is an existing program with one enhancement and is consistent with the program elements in GALL AMP XI.M34. This AMP addresses buried piping, (i.e., piping in direct contact with soil). LRA Section B2.1.10, External Surfaces Monitoring Program, states that it is an existing program with enhancements. This AMP addresses aging management of the external surfaces of piping exposed to air, which would normally include underground inaccessible piping (i.e., piping not in direct contact with soil, but located below grade in a vault, pipe chase, or other structure where it is exposed to air and where access is limited).

KEWAUNEE POWER STATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RAI B2.1.7-3, Concerns Regarding Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks, Kewaunee LRA
Background:
The license renewal application (LRA) Section B2.1.7, Buried Piping and Tanks Inspection Program, states that it is an existing program with one enhancement and is consistent with the program elements in GALL AMP XI.M34. This AMP addresses buried piping, (i.e., piping in direct contact with soil). LRA Section B2.1.10, External Surfaces Monitoring Program, states that it is an existing program with enhancements. This AMP addresses aging management of the external surfaces of piping exposed to air, which would normally include underground inaccessible piping (i.e., piping not in direct contact with soil, but located below grade in a vault, pipe chase, or other structure where it is exposed to air and where access is limited).
There have been a number of recent industry events involving leakage from buried and underground piping and tanks.
Issue:
In light of this recent industry Operating Experience (OE), the staff is concerned about the continued susceptibility to failure of buried and/or underground piping that are within the scope of 10 CFR 54.4 and subject to aging management for license renewal. In reviewing the AMPs cited above along with the applicable aging management review items associated with them, the staff is not clear on whether: (1) the components addressed by these AMPs clearly include both buried and underground piping (piping which is below grade and contained in a vault or other structure where it is exposed to air and where access is limited); and (2) whether such programs are being updated to incorporate lessons learned from these recent events as well as any OE from the applicants own history.
Request:
- 1. Provide a list and brief summary of any leaks or adverse conditions discovered during inspections (e.g., coating damage that directly exposes the piping or tank to the environment, presence of any coarse material in backfill within 6-inches of the pipe or tank, unexpected corrosion or damage to piping walls or component pressure boundaries) which have occurred in buried or underground piping or tanks at the station in the past five years that were entered in your corrective action program but are not included in your LRA. Describe how your current AMPs or proposed changes to the AMPs address these issues.
- 2. Provide a discussion of how the AMPs used in managing the aging of buried, underground, and limited access piping and tanks within the scope of license renewal will address recent industry OE as well as any OE from the applicants own history.
