UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Mr. William R. Gideon Vice President H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant Duke Energy Progress, Inc.

3581 West Entrance Road Hartsville, SC 29550 June 18, 2014

SUBJECT:

H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT 2 -ACCEPTANCE OF REQUESTED ACTION REGARDING RELIEF REQUEST (RR)-10, TO ASME SECTION XI CODE REQUIREMENT SUBPARAGRAPH IWA-2441 (b)

(TAC NO. MF4172)

Dear Mr. Gideon:

By letter dated May 9, 2014, Duke Energy Progress, Inc., submitted a relief request for H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2. The proposed relief request would defer the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI requirements of paragraph IWA-2441(b) of ASME Code Section XI, 2007 Edition through the 2008 Addenda. The H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2, fifth 1 0-year inservice inspection interval program is based on the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, 2007 Edition through the 2008 Addenda. Paragraph IAW-2441(b) requires Code Cases be applicable to the Edition and Addenda specified in the Inspection Plan.

H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2 requests the applicability of ASME Code Case N-532-4 be extended to the 2007 Edition through the 2008 Addenda for use in the plant's fifth 1 0-year in service inspection program interval.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this relief request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

Pursuant to Section 50.55a(a)(3)(i) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed alternatives would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environ.ment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that impact the NRC staff's

ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staff's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-2760.
