KEWAUNEE POWER STATION INSERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM FOURTH TEN-YEAR INTERVAL WITHDRAWAL OF 10 CFR 50.55a REQUEST NO. RR-2-3 By application dated April 29, 2012 (Reference 1), Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.
(DEK), requested approval of 10 CFR 50.55a Request RR-2-3 for the Fourth Ten-year Interval of the Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program for Kewaunee Power Station (KPS).
10 CFR 50.55a Request RR-2-3 proposed a temporary deviation from the requirements of ASME Section Xl, Appendix IX, Article IX-1000, Paragraph (c)(2), which prohibits the use of clamping devices on "... portions of a piping system that forms the containment boundary"; and ASME Section XI, Appendix IX, Article IX-6000(a), which states that the area immediately adjacent to the clamping device shall be examined using a volumetric method. Additional Information regarding this request was provided via letter dated April 30, 2012 (Reference 2). The request was supplemented on May 1, 2012 (Reference 3). The NRC provided verbal approval of Request RR-2-3 during a 0
telephone conference between DEK and NRC staff on April 30, 2012.
The conditions under which relief was verbally granted could not be met. Therefore, DEK hereby request withdrawal of 10 CFR 50.55a Request No. RR-2-3 (References 1, 2, and 3).
DEK plans to expeditiously address this issue via a separate 10 CFR 50.55a Request.
If you have questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact Mr.
