In response to several leaks from buried and underground piping at nuclear power plants in the 2009 time frame both the nuclear industry and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) took actions to: better understand the issue of leakage from buried and underground piping; better understand the condition of buried and underground pipes; and to improve the reliability of buried and underground piping. At the NRC this primarily consisted of: revising guidance regarding buried and underground piping related to license renewal; developing the buried pipe action plan; and developing a temporary instruction addressing inspection activities associated with buried piping. The temporary instruction and the buried piping action plan are temporary documents which will expire in 2014 and 2015. The license renewal guidance for buried pipe is currently under review for use in subsequent license renewal. This paper will consider the information obtained from the temporary instruction and its implications. This paper will also consider NRC involvement in the area of buried and underground pipe after the expiration of the temporary instruction and action plan.
