RAI for RR-ENG-2-53 (TAC Nos. ME2329-30)
The staff reviewed the STP submittal dated 9/23/09 regarding relief request RR-ENG-2-53 and requests the following additional information.
- 1. In section 1 of Relief Request RR-ENG-2-53, the licensee referenced the ASME Code, 1995 edition, 1996 addenda. Please clarify whether or not the 1995 edition, 1996 addenda is the code of record for the current inspection interval. Also, please confirm that the current inspection interval is the second inspection interval.
- 2. In Section 4, 2nd paragraph, of the relief request, the licensee stated that, "In addition, ASME Section XI, 2004 Edition 2005 Addenda, Appendix I, Article I-2600(a) states that for components to which Appendix VIII is not applicable [Article I-2110(b)], examination procedures, personnel, and equipment qualified in accordance with Appendix VIII may be applied."
However, 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv) requires that "Licensees who use later editions and addenda than the 2001 edition of the ASME Code shall use the 2001 edition of Appendix VIII."
The NRC prohibits the use of Appendix VIII in ASME Code editions and addenda later than 2001. Therefore, the 2004 edition, 2005 addenda, Appendix I, cannot be applied/used.
In light of the above condition in 10 CFR 50.55a, please explain the second paragraph in Section 4 of relief request RR-ENG-2-53.
Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks, Fred E-mail Properties Mail Envelope Properties ()
