Docket No. 50-410 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 August 11, 1993 Mr. B. Ralph Sylvia Executive Vice President, Nuclear Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation 301 Plainfield Road
- Syracuse, New York 13212
Dear Mr. Sylvia:
SUBJECT:
ISSUANCE OF SCHEDULAR EXEMPTION FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF 10 CFR PART 50, APPENDIX J, FOR NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 2, REGARDING TYPE B TESTS FOR EXPANSION BELLOWS IN FOUR PENETRATIONS (TAC NO. M86683)
By letter dated May 28,
- 1993, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC) requested a one-time only schedular exemption for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2 (NMP-2), until the end of the 1993 refueling outage (currently scheduled to begin on October 1,
1993) from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Section III, regarding Type B tests of the expansion bellows in four Traversing Incore Probe containment penetrations.
The NRC staff has reviewed the information provided in support of NMPC's schedular exemption request.
On the basis of the submitted information and as discussed in the enclosed exemption and supporting safety evaluation, the NRC staff has concluded that there is a high degree of confidence that the integrity of the bellows in the four containment penetrations affected by this exemption will not degrade to an unacceptable level prior to the end of the 1993 refueling outage.
Thus, the NRC staff has concluded that your request is justified and your request for a schedular exemption to delay performance of Type B testing of the expansion bellows in four containment penetrations until the end of the 1993 refueling outage is granted.
We find that granting the exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Section III.B., is authoriz'ed by law, will not present an undue risk to public health and safety, is consistent with the common defense and
- security, and meets the special circumstances described in 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) and (iii).
