COOK, UNITS 1

AND 2, REQUESTING APPROVAL OF CODE CASE N-498-1 AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE REQUIRED HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE TEST (TAC NOS.

H91783 AND H91784)

Dear Hr. Fitzpatrick:

The staff reviewed and evaluated the information provided by Indiana Michigan Power Company (IMPCo) in its letter dated February 27, 1995, related to relief from IMPCo's Inservice Inspection program.

IHPCo requested approval for use of the alternative rules of ASME Section XI Code Case N-498-1, dated Hay 11, 1994, "Alternative Rules for 10-Year System Hydrostatic Testing for Class 1, 2, and 3 Systems" for 10-year hydrostatic testing on Class 1, 2, and 3 systems.

Based on the information submitted, IHPCo's alternative is authorized pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii) as compliance with the specified requirements of thisSection XI would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.

IHPCo's alternative, use of Code Case N-498-1, is authorized until such time as this code case is published in a future revision of Regulatory Guide

1. 147.

At,that time if IHPCo intends to continue to implement this code case, it is to follow all provisions in Code Case N-498-1 with limitations issued in Regulatory Guide 1. 147, if any.
