Q

Issues Identified

• Standing water was identified in the trench inside the Drywell at the Drywell floor level in Bay'5 when the foam fill was removed for planned inspections.

• Dampness was identified in the other trench in bay 17, however, no standing water was present.

C Actions Initiated

• Performed detailed drawing reviews to identify potential sources of water

• Obtained water samples and performed lab analysis

• Performed in plant inspections to identify potential leakage paths

• Performed a dye tracer test in the sub pile room trough to determine leakage source 11/4/2006 5

Actions Initiated continued

• Removed additional concrete to perform UT exams to determine any impact to the Drywell shell

• Prepared a comprehensive engineering evaluation to evaluate the impact of water on the Drywell shell integrity

° Performed field repairs and modifications to mitigate future water intrusion 11/4/2006 6

Corrective Actions

• Inspection of the stainless steel liner (VT_ 1) of the Drywell floor drain sump confirmed that the liner remains leak tight.

• Sealed the concrete curb to Drywell shell interface at the perimeter of the Drywell with approved caulking materials.

• Repaired leakage paths in the sub pile room. drainage trough

° Caulked the. concrete to Drywell shell interface in bay #5 and #17 trenches

• Performed a-post modification leakage test of-the trough-to confirm the repairs were adequate 11/4/2006 7

C Drywell Shell Integrity Review

• Engineering evaluations were developed to evaluate the current acceptability of the drywell shell

" Specific areas evaluated included:

- Detailed field walk-downs and inspections Chemistry sample analysis of the water in-the bay #5 trench

- Non destructive and visual examinations.of the Drywell shell.

in both trenches and on the exterior side in the sand bed region.

- Removal of additional concrete on the bottom of bay #5 trench and completion of non destructive and visual examinations

- A corrosion evaluation of the Drywell shell steel, in contact with concrete in the presence of water 11/4/2006 8

(k Conclusions

" Investigations concluded that the likely entry point for the water was a deteriorated connection at the sub-pile room drainage trough

• Non destructive exams confirmed that the drywell shell thickness maintains adequate margin by exceeding the required minimum wall thickness

" Established that the drywell shell structural integrity is not impacted by continued water in the drywell elevation 10'-3" concrete

• Drywell structural integrity is maintained and continues to meet all of its design bases requirements

• Will perform additional inspections during 2008 refueling outage 11/4/2006 9

C Next Steps

• Technical Evaluation Updates and Completion

• Evaluations Support Current Restart Schedule

• Notifications to Stake-holders

• Ongoing Communications with NRC & State officials C

Sandbed region is located on the exterior of Drywell L

Trenches located in concrete floor inside the Drywell in two locations crete at two locations inside the "to gain access -to..the drywell shell adjacent to the sand bed region. The purpose of clearing out the area was to obtain UT thickness measurements.

External Questions and Concerns

• Analysis of data from 2 UT measurements in upper region

• Previously unidentified construction issues (voids, cracks) effect on design bases/assumptions

• Completion of repairs prior to completion of evaluations

• Assurance that corrosion has been arrested (water and iron oxide present in trench)

• Questions were reviewed and addressed during combined 11AMrGen, NRC and State meeting on 11/3/2006 4
