4.2 ASME CODE CLASS IN-SERVICE INSPECTION AND TESTING APPLICABILITY Applies to in-service structural surveillance of the ASME Code Class components and supports and functional testing of pumps and valves.

OBJECTIVE To assure the continued integrity and operational readiness of ASME Code Class 1, 2, 3, and MC components.

SPECIFICATION

a. ASME Code Class 1, 2, 3, and MC Components and Supports I. In-service inspection of ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class MC components and supports shall be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a(g), except where relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i). The testing and surveillance of. shock suppressors (snubbers) is detailed in TS 3.14 and TS 4.14.

2. In-service testing of ASME Code Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants and applicable Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a(f), except where relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(6)(i).

3. Surveillance testing of pressure isolation valves:

a. Periodic leakage testing(') on each valve listed in Table TS 3.1-2 shall be accomplished prior to entering the OPERATING mode after everytime the plant is placed in the COLD SHUTDOWN condition for refueling, after each time the plant is placed in a COLD SHUTDOWN condition for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> if testing has not been accomplished in the preceding 9 months, and prior to returning the valve to service after maintenance, repair, or replacement work is performed.

(1)To satisfy ALARA requirements, leakage may be measured indirectly (as from the performance of pressure indicators) if accomplished in accordance with approved procedures and supported by computations showing that the method is capable of demonstrating valve compliance with the leakage criteria.
