SUBJECT:
HYDROSTATIC TESTING OF LI(UID RADIOACTIVE WASTE PIPING, SUS(UEHANNA STEAN ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1
AND 2 (PLA-3474)
(TAC NOS.
H80076 AND H80077)
Your letter of December 14, 1990, discussed the hydrostatic tests performed on liquid radioactive waste piping in the common radwaste building and explained why some of the welds and one coupling were not visually examined during the tests.
Your letter requested an exemption from the normal visual examination procedure.
As discussed in the enclosed safety evaluation, the liquid radwaste piping was designed to meet either the requirements of guality Group D (Augmented) as defined in NRC Branch Technical Position (BTP)
ETSB ll-l, Revision 1, Parts IV and VI, or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
B 31. 1 Power Piping Code.
For this type of piping, licensees can evaluate and disposition hydrostatic test results in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50.59.
No exemption is necessary.
The 1987 hydrostatic test results were discussed with your staff on several occasions during the past several months.
Based on your staff's position, we reviewed your letter of December 14,
- 1990, as though it were a determination you performed under 10 CFR Part 50.59.
We agree with your determination that the hydrostatic tests meet the applicable requirements of BTP ETSB ll-l, Revision 1 and ANSI B 31.1.
If you have any questions, please call me at (301) 504-1402.
