UPTI Program Goals

The goal of the UPTI program is to provide reasonable assurance

of leakage integrity and structural integrity.

• No plant shutdowns (safety related leaks)

• No non-permitted environmental releases

UPTI Future Budget / Planning 2014 & Beyond *

1. Each site completes Asset Management plan (final NEI 09-14 milestone

12/31/14)

• Draft Tech Eval. 9/15/14, complete 10/3/14

• Draft Asset Mgt. plan 11/14/14, complete 12/4/14

• Incorporate the NEI Asset management plan into existing LTAM process 1

• Future inspections will be incorporated into the Buried Pipe and Tank LTAMs

and LTA Manager

2. Determine 2015 inspection scope and cost estimate 5/2/14 1

• Inspections would expand to non-licensed material piping

• Inspections for License Renewal commitment in-scope piping

3. Inspections beyond 2015 driven by

• Inspections for License Renewal commitment in-scope piping

• Re-inspections and EOC

• Inspections would expand to non-licensed material piping

Inspections Opportunities

Inspection Cost savings opportunities)

1. Inline inspections for NEI 09-14 inspections

• Dresden - Containment Cooling Service Water (CCSW)

– Original excavation estimate $1.2M, ILI estimate = $471K,

– $729K savings over excavation - in 2014 forecast

• Peach Bottom – Contaminated Condensate Piping

– Excavation cost > $1.4M, ILI estimate = $600K,

– $8K savings over excavation - in 2014 forecast

Long Term O&M Cost Opportunities

License Renewal (LR)

• LR in Scope Piping

• Braidwood - Condensate, Fire Protection, SX, Fuel Oil

– Current drafted commitment is to dig up and recoat all the CST piping

(approx. BR-11-0572, $33M)

– In line inspections can potentially extend or eliminate the commitment

the recoat commitment

• Limerick - Fire Protection, Normal Waste, Blowdown, Rad Waste,

ESW, Fuel Oil

– All of the piping is covered with concrete

• Byron – Condensate, Fire Protection, Blowdown , SX, Fuel Oil

• LaSalle – Condensate, Fire Protection, CSCS, Fuel Oil

• Clinton – Fire Protection, SX, Fuel Oil

Long Term O&M Cost Opportunities *

License Renewal (LR)

Number of excavation inspections for LR based on LR-ISG-2011-

03 , XI.M41 Table 4a

• 29 to 60 direct excavation inspections over remaining plant life

depending on cathodic protection other variables.

• Upgrade cathodic protection can reduce inspections to 3 to 4

• Approved in-line-inspection (ILI) methods accepted in place of excavations,

would reduce inspection costs
