Mr. K. Tosch, Manager IV Bureau of Nuclear Engineering P.O. Box 415 Trenton, NJ 08625 LRN-02-0426 Relief Request: S1-RR-A04 Use of Code Case N-532-1 NRC Approved (Yes or No):
Date:
Ref:
Component Description Repair and replacement documentation requirements and Inservice summary report preparation and submission.
ASME Section Xl Class 1, 2, 3, MC, CC components, and their associated Component Supports.
Code Requirement Articles IWA-4000 and IWA-6000 of the 1995 Edition, including the 1996 Addenda of Section XI.
Basis for Relief Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i), relief is requested on the basis-that the proposed alternative provides an acceptable level of quality and safety.
PSEG Nuclear, LLC requests the continued use of Code Case N-532-1 during the Third Inspection Interval. This case provides the alternatives to the current ASME Section Xl repair/replacement activity documentation requirements, and regulatory reporting requirements related to Inservice Inspections. It is the intent of PSEG Nuclear LLC to periodically submit the Owner's Activity Report identified by Code Case N-532-1. The Owners Activity Report Form OAR-1 will be completed by PSEG Nuclear, LLC in accordance with Code Case N-532-1 and the OAR-1 will submitted to the regulatory authority within 90 days of outage completion.
The cost effective alternatives afforded by this Code Case have been determined by the ASME to provide an acceptable alternative to existing requirements. The alternatives provide a substantial reduction in the overall administrative burden since each PSEG Nuclear LLC plant is required to meet the requirements of IWA-6000. Further, Code Case N-532-1 does not create any technical changes that would impact the existing ISI programs or the Technical Specifications at Salem (or Hope Creek), and does not introduce a condition that would compromise existing levels of safety or quality.
Relief has been previously granted (RR-AI) to utilize Code Case N-532 at Salem Generating Station, Units 1 & 2, as well as for Hope Creek Generating Station.
