Cook Nuclear Plant Unit 1
MAIN STEAM SYSTEM - PIPE WALL THINNING Pursuant to a
conversation with members'f your staff on April 25, 1997, this letter forwards our relief request to continue unit 1 operation with a section of main steam piping having a wall
, thickness which is less than that allowed by Cook Nuclear Plant piping code, USAS/ANSI B31.1.1, 1967 edition.
In our letter AEP:NRC:1098A, dated April 17,
- 1997, we provided information demonstrating the measured thickness of a piping elbow in the main steam
- system, 0.843
- inches, was acceptable when material properties obtained from the certified material test report (CMTR) were used.
- However, during the April 25th discussion, the use of CMTR data, rather than the data contained in the code itself, was questioned and we agreed to submit a relief request to operate for one cycle.
The attached relief request contains our assessment that continued operation of unit 1 prior to repairing the elbow will not endanger the health and safety of the public.
Sincerely, p
E.
