UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 October 19, 1992 Docket No. 50-261 Mr. R. A. Watson Senior Vice President Nuclear Generation Carolina Power & Light Company Post Office Box 1551 Raleigh, North Carolina 27602
Dear Mr. Watson:
SUBJECT:
H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2 - RELIEF REQUESTS FOR THIRD TEN-YEAR INTERVAL INSERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM PLAN (TAC NO. M81310)
By a letter dated August 1991, Carolina Power & Light Company (licensee) submitted to the NRC the Third Ten-Year Interval Inservice Inspection (ISI)
Program and the associated requests for relief from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Requirements that the licensee determined to be impractical to perform during the Third Ten-Year Inservice Inspection Interval for the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2. The licensee provided additional information in letters dated February 13, 1992, and June 18, 1992. The NRC staff with technical assistance from its contractor, the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, has reviewed and evaluated the requ'ests and supporting information.
Based on the information submitted, the NRC staff agrees with the conclusions and recommendations presented in the enclosed Technical Evaluation Report, EGG-MS-10352. Furthermore, the staff has concluded that the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2, Third Ten-Year Interval Inservice Inspection Program Plan, Revision 0, with the additional information provided and the specific written relief, constitutes the basis for compliance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g) and Technical Specification 4.0.1 and is, therefore, acceptable. In addition, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i), Request for Relief Nos. 1, 2,-3, 5, 8, 12, and 18 are granted as requested. Request for Relief No. 13 is granted with the conditions specified in the Technical Evaluation Report attached. The remainder of the relief requests were withdrawn by the licensee.
As discussed in the enclosed Safety Evaluation, the NRC finds that the Code required examinations are impractical to perform and the licensee's proposed alternatives provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. Further, the granting of these requests will not significantly reduce assurance of the 22001.9 9210260381 921019 PDR ADOCK 05000261 P

,Mr. R.
October 19, 1992 plant's structural integrity and safety. Relief pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)
(6)(i) is, therefore, authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security and is otherwise in the public interest, giving due consideration to the burden upon the licensee that could result if.
the requirements were imposed on the facility.
