Dear Sir:
Florida Power Corporation (FPC), doing business as Progress Energy Florida, Inc. is hereby providing notification that Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) will be extending the' third Inservice Testing (IST) inspection interval, due to expire August 13, 2008, to May 10, 2009. The fourth IST inspection interval will start on May 11, 2009. This extension of the third IST interval will permit completion of all required implementing activities required for the fourth IST inspection Interval.
The extension of an IST inspection interval is discussed in Section 3.3.1 of NUREG 1482, Revision 1, "Guidelines for Inservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants," and is in accordance with Subsection ISTA 3120(d) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Operations and Maintenance (OM)
Code. The section states that, "Each IST interval may be extended or decreased by as much as one year.
Adjustments shall not cause successive intervals to be altered by more than one year from the original pattern of intervals." CR-3 has not utilized this extension allowance for previous IST intervals.
No new regulatory commitments are made in this letter.
If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Daniel Westcott, Supervisor, Licensing and Regulatory Programs at (352) 563-4796.
