SUBJECT:

NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT NO. 1 - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - AMENDMENT APPLICATION RE: INSERVICE TESTING AND INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS (TAC NO. MB3208)

Dear Mr. Conway:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is reviewing the subject proposed amendment, requested by your letter dated November 26, 2001. On April 10, 2002, we held a telephone discussion with Mr. A. Abbasi, et al., of your staff. The NRC staff decided to formalize its comments in a request for additional information.

The NRC staff holds the position that inservice testing of Quality Group A, B, and C pumps and valves be performed in accordance with requirements for American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components specified in Section XI of the applicable ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Addenda. Your application is lacking such wording. Alternatively, you may consider adopting the proposed requirements described by Section 5.5.7.a of NUREG-1433, Standard Technical Specifications for General Electric Nuclear Plants, BWR/4 and BWR/6.

Please respond within 45 days of receipt of this letter. If more time is needed, or if you need clarification, please call me at 301-415-1451.

Sincerely,

/RA/
