SUBJECT:
SAFETY EVALUATION OF THE INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM RELIEF REQUEST FOR EXCESS FLOW CHECK VALVES, SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1
AND 2 (TAC NOS.
H95507 AND H95508)
Dear Hr. Byr am:
By, letter dated May 20,
- 1996, Pennsylvania Power and Light Company (PPLL) submitted a response to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) letter dated February 23, 1996, which contained the safety evaluation (SE) for Relief Request No.
23 with regard to a request for further justification for the proposed alternative for Inservice Testing (IST) of certain excess flow check
.valves (EFCV) for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2.
The Code of Federal Re ulations, 10 CFR 50.55a, requires that IST of certain ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applicable Edition and Addenda, except where specific written relief has been requested by the licensee and granted by the Commission pursuant to paragraphs (a)(3)(i), (a)(3)(ii), or (g)(6)(i) of 10 CFR 50.55a.
I The staff has reviewed the information contained in PP8tL's response to the NRC-requested justification for the proposed alternative IST of EFCVs contained in Relief Request No. 23, Revision 14 for Unit 1, and Revision 11 for Unit 2, for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station.
The staff's evaluations and conclusions are contained in the enclosed SE.
In the enclosed evaluation, the staff concludes that the licensee's proposed alternative to the Code requirements to perform functional testing of the EFCVs identified in the licensee's Hay 20, 1996, letter at least once every 18 months immediately preceding a planned refueling outage with appropriate administrative and scheduling controls implemented is authorized by law, aqua p<K CKÃ~ MPV 9609100350 960830 PDR ADQCK 05000387 p
