August 7, 2003 Mr. David L. Wilson Site Vice President Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Nuclear Management Company, LLC 2807 West County Road 75 Monticello, MN 55362-9637
SUBJECT:
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI) RELATED TO INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM RELIEF REQUEST VR-01 (TAC NO. MB9736)
Dear Mr. Wilson:
Nuclear Management Company, LLCs (NMCs) letter of April 29, 2003, responding to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs RAI for Relief Request No. VR-01, submitted a revised relief request to the NRC. We have reviewed your revised relief request and find that we need additional information to complete our review.
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants, 1996 addenda, paragraph ISTC 4.5.2(a), Exercising Requirements, specifies that Each check valve exercise test shall include open and closed tests. NMC proposed not testing the closed function of the control rod drive scram discharge header (CRD-114) check valves. Please provide additional information justifying not testing the CRD-114 valves in the closed position.
I discussed this RAI with Mr. D. Neve of your organization on August 1, 2003. We agreed that your response will be submitted within 30 days of receipt of our RAI. Please contact me at (301) 415-1423 if you have questions or need to revise this date.
Sincerely,
/RA/
