These reliefs are for the Fourth PNPS 10-Year Inservice Inspection Interval which ended June 30, 2015. The relief requests are listed below with their descriptions:
Relief Request Description PNPS-ISI-001 Pressure Retaining Welds in Reactor Vessels - Inspection Program B PNPS-ISI-002 Full Penetration Welded Nozzles in Vessels-Inspection Program B PNPS-ISI-003 Welded Attachments for Vessels, Piping, Pumps, and Valves-Inspection Program B PNPS-ISI-004 Pressure Retaining Welds in Austenitic Stainless Steel or High Alloy Piping-Inspection Program B
PNPS-ISI-005 Risk Informed Piping Welds 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.
