NORTH ANNA POWER STATION UNIT 1 WITHDRAWAL OF RELIEF REQUEST SPT-006. USE OF CODE CASE N-731 FOR THE FOURTH INTERVAL lSI PROGRAM In a letter dated October 17, 2008 (Serial No. 08-0595), Dominion submitted the North Anna Power Station Unit 1 Inservice Inspection (lSI) Program for the fourth inservice inspection (lSI) interval applicable to Class 1, 2, and 3 components and component supports. The lSI Program described the programmatic aspects of lSI examinations of components and component supports. Included with the program were requests for alternatives or relief from the specific code requirements in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a.

In a March 3, 2009 phone call with the NRC staff, the application of Code Case N-731 was discussed. During the call, the NRC stated that Code Case N-731 was included in the latest Draft of Regulatory Guide 1.147, "Inservice Inspection Code Case Acceptability, ASME Section XI, Division 1," and should be approved for use prior to Dominion's performance of the subject pressure test. Therefore, Dominion is hereby withdrawing Relief Request SPT-006, which addressed the use of the same code case.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Mr. Thomas Shaub at (804) 273-2763.

Sincerely, n Price President - Nuclear Engineering Commitments made in this letter:
