Guidelines for Nuclear Power Plants,” (Ref. 19). In October 2009, NEI issued NEI-08-08A, Revision 0, “Generic FSAR Template Guidance for Life Cycle Minimization of Contamination” (Ref. 20). NEI 08-08A applies to applicants for licenses whose applications are submitted after August 20, 1997, under 10 CFR 52 Subpart C. NEI 08-08A describes an operational program to minimize contamination throughout the life-cycle of a facility, including provisions for minimizing facility contamination, environmental contamination, waste generation, and facilitating decommissioning. EPRI provided NEI supporting guidance for a ground water protection program. In 2008, it issued EPRI Report 1016099,” Ground Water Protection DG-4025, Page 6 Guidelines for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 21). EPRI Report 1016099 and NEI 07-07 provide the technical basis in NEI 08-08A. NEI 08-08A provides an acceptable approach for an effective ground water protection program that meets the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1406 with verification of the program during the construction stage for licenses under 10 CFR Part 52 Subpart C. In April 2013, NEI issued NEI 09-14, Revision 3, “Guideline for the Management of Underground Piping and Tank Integrity” (Ref. 22). NEI 09-14 describes the policy and practices that the industry commits to follow in managing underground piping and tanks, and compliments NEI 07-07. EPRI Technical Report 1016456, Revision 1, “Recommendations for an Effective Program to Control the Degradation of Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks,” (Ref. [23) provides implementation guidance for NEI 09-14. To determine if the commitments set forth in NEI 09-14 were implemented, NRC issued NRC Inspection Manual/Temporary Instruction 2515/182, “Review of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks,” Ref. 24). Harmonization with International Standards The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has established a series of
