Inservice Inspection {ISI) - First Interval Program and Records Review
{73051, 73755, 73052)
The inspector examfned documents, activitfes and records as indicated below to determined whether ISI was being conducted in accordance with applicable procedures, regulatory requfrements, and licensee coitmftments.
The Florida Power and Light Company ISI program for the St. Lucie facility is conducted in accordance with requirements of Par'agraph 4.0.5 of the Technical Specifications, whfch invokes the requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a{g)
as to applicable ASHE Code Addenda and specific written relief as granted by the Gomnfssfo lflk I A1

P.86 ISI Nondestructive Examinations and hydrostatic tests must be completed during each of'our ten<<year intervals calculated from the starting date commercial operation.
(December 21, 1976 for Unft 1 and August 8, 1983 for Unit 2)Section XI of the ASME Code allows extension of the interval to enable correspondence with a plant's outage schedule or to accotaaodate units out of service continuously for six months or more.
The licensee requested and received NRC approval to extend the first fnterval to February ll, 1988 (or the next subsequent refue1 outage) for Unit 1.
This was due to Unit I being continuously out-of-service from February 26, 1983 to April 16, 1984 for extensive core barrel repairs.
The final completion of Unit 1 first interval examination and testing was August 83, 1988.
The first inte~val for Unit 2 will end August 8, ISSUE.
The applicable code for hydrostatic testing for the Unit 1 first interval is the ASIDE BSPY Code,Section XI, 1980 Edition with addenda through Minter 1981.
The licensee also conducted alternative pressure testing using the licensee's procedures for fmplementfng the Instrument Inspect)on Technique {IIT).
These pressure tests were conducted pursuant to the approved topical report, HAFA 135 (P), "Instrumented Inspection Technique As An Alternative To Hydrostatic testing Requirements for ASIDE Class I, 2 and 3 Systems and Components,"
dated April 1985.
This topical report was approved by the NRC by letter dated November 7, 1985, The NRC determfned that sufficient information was presented in topical report HAFA 136
{P) to support the conclusion that the Instrumented Inspection Technique is a suitable alternative for the pressure test requirements of ASNE Section XI.
Imp'fementatfon of the Instrumented Inspectfon Technique was not intended to circumvent ASNF Section XI requirements for pressure tests but to provide an added margin of reliability of the test results.
The Code requirements, where practica1 to eeet>
were to be complied with and fn sftuatfons where the requirements are impractical, the regulations were to be followed prior to fop)ementa-tion of the alternative testing method.
However, the Code requirement for the 4-hour hold time prior to visual examination of insulated systems and components may be reduced to two hours when using lIT.
The conditfons described above were raga~dad as Ifmiftatfons associated with the NRC acceptance of topical report HAFA 135 (P).
The NRC staff approved the conce t of the IIT aethodology as defined in topical report HAFA 135 (p) an su feet to the limitations and conditions delineated fn the staff's safety evaluation report.
A licensee referencing the topfcal report has the responsibility for the pr'eparation of examination procedures and the control of the inspectfon process.
The licensee was required to identify the plant-specific system boundary sub)ect to inspection and assure that the selectfon of the fnstrumentatfon was consistent wfth the approved concep 'E l

Instrumented Inspection Technique as an Alternative to the Hydrostatic Testing Requirements for ASME Class I, 2 and 3 systems and components Letter from NRR to HAFA International providing NRC acceptance of Report HAFA 135 (P} (inclu)ng Safety Kvaluat)on Report)
During the above review the inspector noted that procedure gl 11-PR/PSL-8 inCluded requirementS that all IIT teSting required a
standard ASNE YT-2 type visual examination while the system was under test conditions.
Relief from normal ASNlE Code Hydrostatic Requirements appeared to be limited to use of nominal operating pressure and reduction of the hold time to two hours (rather than four hours)
on insulated systems.
Further additional requirements imposed included use of calibrated flow measuring devices (LNDs) on boundary valves.
Potential use of acoustic monitoring (AE) is included as a diagnost)c aid in detecting the source of leakage and not as an obviation of VT-2 examinations.
Cognizant
'l)censee personnel responded that AE as propounded by NFA had never been used at St. Lucie.
Relief from norma)
ASIDE Hydrostatic requirements when using IIT and L%s was considered
'limited to use of normal operating pressure and the two hour hold time on insulated systems.
Use of HAFA expertise at St. Lucie had been limited to the topfca'l report, and use of their
%tT-2 certified personnel during some 1985/86 examinations until plant personnel completed VT-2 certification requirements.
Otherwise, the licensee has used HAFA equipment
{Lona tew lease of six LNDs) with licensee approved procedures and certii'ied personnel.
The licensee completed in-house QA Audits (qSL-OPS-86-434 and gSL-OPS-85-391)
of HAFA's 1985/86 subcontract work.
The inspector reviewed the subject audits and noted that NRC Region II had been involved during Audit gSL-OPS-86-434.
No adverse findings were identifie ~
