Monticello is currently in the third period of its 3 rd 10-Year IST and ISI Intervals. These Intervals began on June 1, 1992 and were scheduled to expire on May 31, 2002.
Based on this notification NMC is extending the current 3 rd 10-Year IST and ISI Intervals through March 8, 2003.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4)(ii) Monticello committed to use the 1986 American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, without any addenda for the current 3 rd 10-Year IST and ISI Intervals. Per the 1986 ASME Code, Section Xl, IWA-2430 which states in part "...each of the inspection intervals may be extended or decreased by as much as 1 year. Adjustments shall not cause successive intervals to be altered by more than 1 year from the original pattern of intervals." Additionally, per the guidance in NUREG-1482, "Inservice Testing Program Guidelines," Section 3.3.1, "Extension of Interval," states, "The staff recommends the licensee inform the NRC of any extension before the date that would have been the end of the current interval."
Therefore, based on the guidance provided in NUREG-1482, and pursuant to the requirements of the ASME Code, Section Xl, IWA-2430, NMC is hereby informing the NRC of an extension to the 3 rd 10-Year IST and ISI Intervals for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The current 3 rd 10-Year IST and ISI Intervals will continue in effect through March 8, 2003. This adjustment to the 3 rd 10-Year IST and ISI Intervals will not cause successive intervals to be altered by more than 1 year, outside the allowances of the ASME Code, Section Xl, IWA-2430(e), from the original pattern of intervals.
