UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 2055&4001 April 26, 1995 Mr. Robert G.
Byram Senior Vice President-Nuclear Pennsylvania Power and Light Company 2 North Ninth Street Allentown, PA 18401
SUBJECT:
SAFETY EVALUATION OF THE INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM RELIEF REQUESTS FOR PUMPS AND VALVES FOR SECOND 10-YEAR INTERVAL SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1
AND 2 (TAC NOS.
M89900
& M89901)
Dear Mr. Byram:
The NRC staff with technical assistance from Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), has reviewed the information concerning Inservice Testing (IST) program requests for relief submitted for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, in Pennsylvania Power
& Light Company's letters dated June 30,
- 1994, and December 29, 1994.
The staff adopts the evaluations and recommendations for granting relief or
- authorizing alternatives contained in the attached Technical Evaluation Report (TER) prepared by BNL, as reflected in the enclosed Safety Evaluation (SE).
Relief is granted from or alternatives are authorized to the testing requirements which have been determined to be impractical to perform, where compliance would result in a hardship without a compensating increase in
- safety, or where the proposed alternative testing provides an acceptable level of quality and safety.
A summary of the NRC actions is provided in Table 1 of the enclosed SE.
The IST program relief requests which are granted or'pproved are acceptable for implementation provided the action items identified in Section 5 of the TER are addressed within one year of the date of the SE or by the end of the next refueling outage for each unit, whichever is later.
The licensee should respond to the NRC within one year of the date of this SE describing actions
- taken, actions in progress, or actions to be taken, to address each of these items.
For relief requests that have been denied, testing should conform with the code requirements within 90 days of the date of the safety evaluation.
Based on a recent excess flow check valve test conducted at power at Unit 1, the staff has identified the need for additional information regarding refueling outage justification number 20 included in this IST package.
Accordingly, we recommend the ROJ-20 be revised to clarify the impracticality of performing the quarterly full-stroke test for the excess flow check valves listed and recommends that PPSL submit a request for an alternate frequency if appropriate.
Any revisions or requests necessary to correct ROJ-20 should be submitted within 90 days of the date of this safety evaluation or by the end of the current refueling outage, whichever is later.
