[1] This procedure provides the requirements for each site to develop its own site specific Underground Piping and Tanks (UPT) Inspection and Monitoring Program (hereafter referred to as the Program).

[2] This procedure provides a set of recommendations for Entergy nuclear power plants to use in implementing an effective program to detect and mitigate life-limiting degradation that may occur in underground piping systems and tanks. For plants that have received a renewed operating license, this procedure incorporates commitments for the Underground Piping and Tanks program. [LO-LAR-2008-0048 CA-0002, CA-0046]

[RLC LO-LAR-2009-00244 CA-15] [RC07.2029.01] [NL-09-111] [A-16911] [A-17827] [A-17910].

[3] This procedure is intended to supplement programs currently established for monitoring internal Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) or Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) in systems as described in EN-DC-340 and EN-DC-315.

[4] The Program consists of inspection and monitoring of selected operational underground piping and tanks for external corrosion, including crevice, general corrosion, microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), pitting corrosion, and other age-related degradation. However, coordination with the MIC and FAC Program owners must continuously be achieved to assure the overall health (internal and external) of the underground piping and tanks.

[5] The details of the risk ranking criteria, reasonable assurance guidance, recommendations for inspection, monitoring, and mitigation portion of this Program are contained in CEP-UPT-0100. This procedure and CEP-UPT-0100 contain the required elements to provide guidance and recommendations for a programmatic approach to help Program Owners prioritize inspections of underground segments, evaluate the inspection results, make fitness for service decisions, select a repair technique where required, and take preventive measures to reduce the likelihood and consequence of failures.

3.0 DEFINITIONS

[1] Baseline Inspection - The inspection of a new or replaced component that has not previously been involved in plant operations.

[2] Buried Piping and Tanks - Piping and tanks that are below grade and in direct contact with the soil or concrete (e.g. a wall penetration or embedded in concrete).

[3] Buried Segment - A portion of buried piping or tank in a plant system which has similar parameters; e.g. similar pressure and materials.

NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-DC-343 REV. 5 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 6 OF 22 Underground Piping and Tanks Inspection and Monitoring Program 3.0 Cont.

[4] Cathodic Protection (CP) - The application of a current to the outside surface of the pipe with the purpose of reducing the susceptibility of exposed segments of buried pipe (exposure caused by coating deterioration, damage or voids) to corrosion. The application of a low voltage residual current causes a shift (with respect to the anode) of the electrolytic potential at pipe exposed sites and thereby places the pipe in a more protected, less corrosive environment.

[5] Component - A portion of an underground piping or tank system with defined boundaries. A component may consist of portions of a single underground segment or of a complete single underground segment, but should not include elements from multiple underground segments.

[6] Concrete Piping - Piping that is manufactured from concrete or cementitious material with or without metallic reinforcement. Concrete piping is generally used for large diameter lines such as the water intake piping from sources of cooling water (e.g.,

lakes, rivers, and reservoirs).

[7] Corrosion - The chemical or electrochemical reaction between a material, usually a metal, and its environment that produces a deterioration of the material and its properties. A common example is the oxidation of an iron-based alloy exposed to water (rusting).

[8] Crevice Corrosion - Localized corrosion that may occur in areas of stagnant solutions existing in crevices, joints, and contacts between metals or between metals and non-metals.

[9] Direct Examination - Examination that consists of performing NDE direct measurement of the internal surface or exposed external segments of the pipe.

[10] Erosion - Deterioration of materials by the abrasive action of moving fluids or gases, usually accelerated by the presence of solid particles or gases in suspension. When corrosion occurs simultaneously, the term Erosion/Corrosion is often used.

[11] General Corrosion - This type of corrosion attacks the entire un-protected surface in a uniform manner. Of all types of corrosion, this is the least damaging and easiest to determine or quantify the corrosion rate. (Also referred to as uniform corrosion)

[12] Holidays - Discontinuities in coatings, (e.g., pinholes, voids)

[13] Indirect Inspection - Inspection that provides information on the condition of an underground pipe remotely, or from ground level or from an exposed segment of pipe that is distant or remote from the pipe segment of interest.

NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-DC-343 REV. 5 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 7 OF 22 Underground Piping and Tanks Inspection and Monitoring Program 3.0 Cont.

[14] Initial Operational Inspection - The first inspection of a component that has been in-service.

[15] Inspection Program - A systematic evaluation of all underground components using various techniques [e.g., ultrasonic testing (UT), radiographic testing (RT), visual testing (VT), leak testing (LT), eddy current testing (ET)].

[16] Licensed Material - Any material for which a permit or license is issued for purposes of monitoring inventory, effluent limits, or prevention of release [e.g. State Pollution Discharge Elimination System (SPDES)].

[17] Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) - Corrosion caused by presence and/or activities of microorganisms in biofilms on the surface of the material. Microorganisms have been observed in a variety of environments that include seawater, natural freshwater (lakes, rivers and wells), soils and sediment. Microbiological organisms include bacteria, fungi and algae.

[18] Opportunistic Inspection - An inspection performed when underground components are exposed or excavated due to another maintenance activity providing an opportunity to inspect a program component.

[19] Pitting - A form of localized corrosion that results in the formation of small, sharp edged cavities in a metal.

[20] Quality Assurance Classification - For the purposes of this procedure, Safety Class or QA Category is used to designate safety classification. Refer to EN-DC-167 for a summary of the corresponding legacy classifications formerly used at each plant and how they are classified as safety related, augmented, and non-safety related.

[21] Redox - Of or relating to oxidation-reduction.

[22] Resistivity - The longitudinal electrical resistance of a uniform rod of unit length and unit cross-sectional area. The reciprocal of conductivity.

[23] Soil Resistivity Measurement - A method of subsurface detection which measures changes in conductivity by passing electrical current through ground soils. This is generally a consequence of moisture content, and in this way, buried features can be detected by differential retention of groundwater.

[24] Subsequent Re-inspection - The inspection of a component that has been previously subjected to a Baseline Inspection and/or an Initial Operational Inspection.

NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-DC-343 REV. 5 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 8 OF 22 Underground Piping and Tanks Inspection and Monitoring Program 3.0 Cont.

[25] Underground Piping and Tanks - Piping and tanks that are below grade and that may or may not be in direct contact with soil or concrete. This includes piping and tanks that are directly buried and those that are embedded in concrete or located in underground concrete vaults, tunnels, or guard pipes.

[26] Underground Segment - An underground portion of piping or tank in a plant system that is placed below grade, which has similar parameters; e.g. similar pressure, temperature and materials.

[27] Uniform Corrosion - See General Corrosion.

[28] Visual Inspection - The inspection of a component accessible for direct observation by inspectors or by the use of remote visual inspection devices.

5.0 DETAILS 5.1 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS

[1] The risk of a failure caused by corrosion, directly or indirectly represents the most common hazard associated with underground piping and tanks. The corrosion risk assessment, described in CEP-UPT-0100, is organized into categories reflecting four factors (soil resistivity, soil drainage, piping/tank material type, and CP/coating) that impact the degree of corrosion risk due to design and environmental conditions.

[2] Building the risk assessment tool requires the following four steps:

a) Segmenting: dividing a system into smaller segments. The size of each segment shall reflect practical considerations of operation, maintenance, and cost of data gathering with respect to the benefit of increased accuracy.

b) Customizing: deciding on a list of risk contributors and risk reducers and their relative importance.

c) Data gathering: building a database by completing an evaluation for each segment of the system.

d) Maintenance: identifying when and how risk factors can change and updating these factors accordingly.

[3] Be aware that backfilling an excavated area could increase the corrosion susceptibility in that area of the buried piping or tank due to changing soil conditions. Consider re-using the same (or less corrosive) backfill in areas that are excavated.

[4] When the inspection of the segment entails unearthing the segment, caution shall be used so as to not disturb the protective exterior coating or the CP system, as applicable.

[5] Segments used to convey petroleum products should be inspected by an authorized inspection agency in accordance with the provisions API 570.

NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-DC-343 REV. 5 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 12 OF 22 Underground Piping and Tanks Inspection and Monitoring Program 5.1 Cont.

[6] Work Orders involving excavation shall include a task for the Site UPT, Site MIC, and Site Structures Monitoring Program Owners to be notified for possible opportunistic inspections. [LO-LAR-2008-0048 CA-2] [LO-LAR-2008-0048 CA-46] [RLC LO-LAR-2009-00244 CA-63] [RC07.2029.01] [RC07.2029.25] .[A-17827] [A-17910] [A-16911] [NL-09-111]

[7] New underground segments that are installed in the plant shall be inspected and documented by the Program Owner prior to burial. Coating condition, backfill/trench soil conditions, associated CP, baseline inspection data, etc. are items that should be documented. These segments shall be risk ranked within three months following installation.

[8] The use of new technologies to establish component condition should be an indicator to be reviewed on a continuous basis. Existing technologies are being enhanced and applied in innovative solutions. Like other fields, it is important that the Program Owner learns from plant experiences, strives to apply new technologies important in identifying component failures, and seeks to develop innovative means to apply existing technologies.

5.2 PROCEDURES AND OVERSIGHT

[1] Each Program Owner shall review the site excavating activities to take advantage of opportunistic inspections. [LO-LAR-2008-0048 CA-0002] [RC07.2029.01] .[A-17827] [A-17910]

[RLC LO-LAR-2009-00244 CA-63] [NL-09-111] [A-16911]

[2] CEP-UPT-0100 details the program requirements associated with scope, risk ranking, and examination techniques.

[3] A long range plan for each plant should exist to ensure plant management is aware of funding requests and long term health of plant underground piping and tanks.

[4] Program performance indicators and health reports in accordance with EN-DC-329 also ensure program health and communication with plant management.

[5] Each Program Owner shall be qualified in accordance with the Entergy fleet qualification card.

[6] Industry training should also be included in the training of the Underground Pipe and Tanks Program Owner.

NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-DC-343 REV. 5 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 13 OF 22 Underground Piping and Tanks Inspection and Monitoring Program 5.3 RISK RANKING

[1] Two options for performing risk ranking of a given location (segment) can be used.

The first option utilizes risk analysis, where the risk is equal to a quantified likelihood of the failure times the quantified consequences of the failure. The second option, detailed in CEP-UPT-0100, places each location (segment) into a risk matrix based on a non-quantified likelihood of failure (i.e., low, medium, and high) versus the non-quantified consequences of failure (i.e., none, low, medium, and high). Both approaches require inspection of a prioritized sample of risk-ranked locations and should prevent most leaks and failures of Underground systems. [Refer to CEP-UPT-0100, section 5.2.19].

[2] A set of as-built drawings should be assembled showing the route of underground segments, including their location relative to other underground and above ground buildings, structures, and commodities.

[3] An underground segment whose failure is inconsequential and would cause no direct or collateral damage to plant SSCs may be excluded from the scope of the program.

A formal write-up for that exclusion should be considered.

[4] Line specific data shall be collected and compiled for use in risk ranking, inspection, planning, and fitness for service assessment. The line should be subdivided into segments of similar characteristics. Lines that have similar design characteristics but have physical elevation differences should be segregated into upper and lower elevations in relationship to groundwater and drainage. The lower elevations of these lines (i.e., wetter ground) should be a higher inspection priority.

[5] Soil samples should be collected for analysis to help assess the likelihood of outside diameter corrosion.

[6] Where underground segments are protected by a CP system, the CP system should be annually inspected and tested to assess its continued adequacy.

[7] An impact assessment (Safety Class, Public Risk, and Economics) shall be conducted to help rank components/segments (see CEP-UPT-0100).

[8] The potential for corrosion of underground segments shall be evaluated to determine the likelihood of failure for each pipe segment (see CEP-UPT-0100).

[9] Underground radiological piping and tanks are by definition considered High Risk in this Program due to industry operating experience and the resulting public concern.

Consequently, all radiological underground piping/tanks are assigned a High inspection priority

NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-DC-343 REV. 5 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 14 OF 22 Underground Piping and Tanks Inspection and Monitoring Program 5.3 Cont.

[10] The High Risk characterization of underground radiological piping and tanks will be further categorized into High-Low, High-Medium and High-High risk per Engineering Report ECH-EP-10-00001 - reference [21]. This will allow for relative ranking of one High Risk radiological component versus another.

[11] Computer software can be used to model underground segments to help determine the likelihood of failure and the consequence of failure. The computer modeling can substitute for the manual risk ranking as described in CEP-UPT-0100 and Engineering Report ECH-EP-10-00001.

5.4 INSPECTIONS

[1] In general, inspections should be performed at the segments that have the highest risk ranking as determined above. Other considerations such as access and cost may also be considered when the relative risk rankings are similar.

[2] The applicable Code required minimum design thickness, tmin, to be used in the fitness-for-service assessment should be determined before the direct examinations.

[3] Classic non-destructive examinations (surface and volumetric) are performed either by entering the segment (if sufficiently large) with the use of robots or pigs, by tools using electronic scanning techniques or by excavation to the segment surface, following plant procedures. Indirect inspection tools such as Direct Current Voltage Gradient (DCVG) and Guided Wave can assist the inspection process as a screening tool,

[4] When an underground segment is uncovered, the coating should be inspected by an experienced qualified person in accordance with Standard EN-EP-S-002-MULTI -

reference [23]. The results should be documented and include relevant photographs or video. When an underground segment is uncovered (OD) or entered internally (ID) for any reason, as a minimum it should be visually inspected for evidence of corrosion or damage. Particular attention should be paid to the joints, especially welds, as they often are more susceptible to degradation than the base metal. [A-16753] [LO-LAR-2010-00232]

[5] The results of the inspection should be documented using Standard EN-EP-S-002-MULTI - Reference [23] and any relevant photographs or videos should be included in the Program Notebook.

[6] A volumetric examination technique shall be used to determine wall loss, measure remaining thickness, or examine a weld. Results shall be evaluated for fitness-for-service.

NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-DC-343 REV. 5 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 15 OF 22 Underground Piping and Tanks Inspection and Monitoring Program 5.4 Cont.

[7] There are several NDE methods that are applicable to underground piping inspections.

See EPRI Report 1016456 / 1021175, EPRI IR-2010-409, and CEP-UPT-0100 for further discussion on NDE methods.

[8] The following are general parameters to be inspected and documented for future reference [refer to CEP-UPT-100, section 5.2.24]:

a) External coating and wrapping condition.

b) Pipe wall thickness degradation.

c) Tank plate thickness degradation.

d) CP System Performance (if applicable).

[9] A CR shall be initiated if the acceptance criteria are not met.

5.5 FITNESS FOR SERVICE (FFS) [LO-LAR-2008-0048-0002] [RC07.2029.01] .[A-17827] [A-17910]

[1] The integrity assessment shall be based on the design analysis of the underground system.

[2] The inspection results shall be compiled and categorized. A projection of future damage shall be estimated based on current inspection results, planned repairs, and the time to the next planned inspection or repair.

[3] Methods and criteria should be in place prior to inspections to assess the significance of inspection results by applying the appropriate FFS assessment method, consistent with the damage mechanism and licensing commitments. [Refer to CEP-UPT-0100, section 5.5.1].

[4] The knowledge gained through the FFS process should be used to review and adjust as necessary the risk ranking and the inspection plan.

[5] A Condition Report (CR) shall be written if acceptance criteria are not met [refer to CEP-UPT-0100, section 5.5.3]. The corrective actions may include engineering evaluations, scheduled inspections, and change of coating or replacement of corrosion susceptible components. Components that do not meet the acceptance criteria shall be dispositioned by engineering via the Engineering Change (EC) process (EN-DC-115).

[6] Identified degraded conditions that are accepted as is should be included in the Margin Management Database as appropriate per EN-DC-195.

NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-DC-343 REV. 5 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 16 OF 22 Underground Piping and Tanks Inspection and Monitoring Program 5.6 REPAIRS

[1] Contingency planning should be in place for prompt implementation in case an underground segment fails to meet acceptance criteria.

[2] The detailed design of the selected repair option should accommodate the specifics of the failed line.

[3] Leak detection techniques and leak isolation options should be pre-selected for prompt implementation should a leak occur.

5.7 PREVENTION, MITIGATION AND LONG TERM STRATEGY

[1] Where the risk of failure is unacceptable, preventive measures and options to mitigate the possible leakage should be implemented.

[2] Newly installed underground piping and tanks should be coated as applicable during installation with a protective coating system in accordance with site specifications.

These coatings include coal tar enamel with fiberglass wrap and a Kraft paper outer wrap, a polyolefin tape coating, or a fusion bonded epoxy coating. These coatings help protect the piping and tanks from contacting the aggressive soil environment. As part of preventive measures, the existing CP system may be updated or a new CP system may be installed. [A-16911]

[3] Whenever components are excavated, then careful and stringent controls shall be in-place to assure proper or improved fill material is used to re-bury the component.

[4] Baseline inspections shall be performed prior to piping installation. Pipe coating, trenching condition, backfill/bedding materials, and any nearby CP are items that can be documented in the Program Notebook.

[5] For plants with installed CP systems for underground piping and tanks, ensure Preventive Maintenance tasks exist to verify proper operation of these systems at least semi-annually. Verify corrective maintenance tasks for CP system identified deficiencies are corrected on a schedule commensurate with the safety significance of the system/component being protected.

[6] For CP System degradation affecting a safety-related structure, system or component (SSC), recommend repair within the Work Week T- process a) For CP System degradation affecting a non-safety-related SSC, recommend repair within 6 months of identification.

[7] Industry Experience and specifically Operating Experience (OE) reviews are to be included as part of the Underground Piping and Tanks Program Notebook.
