Dear Mr. Williams:

SUBJECT:
TURKEY POINT PLANT UNITS 3 AND 4 - INSERVICE INSPECTION AND TESTING - SECOND 10 YEAR INTERVAL PROGRAM AND SUPPORTING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS By letters dated October 27,
- 1982, March 7,
- 1983, June 30,
- 1983, March 30, 1984, April 2 and 18, 1984, July 26,
- 1984, September 14, 1984, October 24 and 25, 1984 and November 20, 1984, you submitted proposed inservice inspection and testing program descriptions and requests for relief from selected ASME Code requirements pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g) and proposed Technical Specification amendments pursuant 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii).
Although we have not completed our detailed review of your submittals, our preliminary review makes clear to us that your proposed programs to implement those ASME Code requirements you,have found to be practical would increase the scope of inservice inspection and testing for your facility beyond that currently required by your existing Technical Specifications.
We have concluded that this upgrading of your inservice inspection and testing programs will'urther enhan'ce safety.
Based on our preliminary review, we agree with the determination that it is impractical within the limitations of design, geometry and materials of construction of components, for you to meet certain of the specified ASME Code requirements and that imposition of those requirements would result in hardships or unusual difficulties without a compensating increase in the level of quality of safety.
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i),
we hereby grant relief from those inservice inspection and testing require-ments of the ASME Code that you have requested until the staff has completed its detailed review.
Since the scope of the inservice inspection and testing will be increased by your proposed
- programs, and the granting of this relief is based only on the impracticality of selected ASME Code requirements, we have determined that the relief granted neither increases the probability or consequences of accidents previously considered nor decreases safety margins and that; therefore, it does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
Therefore, you are authorized and should proceed to implement your proposed S502>50>Si 850ZOO PDR ADOCK 05000250 p

Nr. J.
W. Williams February 4, 1985 programs (except where your current Technical Specifications are more restrictive).
During the period between now and the date we complete our detailed review of your submittals, you must comply with both your existing Technical Specifications and your proposed inservice inspection and testing programs.
In the event conflicting requirements arise for some components, you must comply with the more restrictive requirements (e.g., shorter inspection intervals, increased number of parameters measured).
In other words, the granting of this relief from ASNE Code requirements should not be interpreted to give you relief from any of the requirements in your existing Technical Specifications.
When our detailed review of your submittals is complete we will: (1) issue final approval of your programs (which may contain modifications resulting from the staff's review), (2) grant relief from any ASNE Code requirements that are determined to be impractical for your facility for the duration of the inspection interval and (3) issue Technical Specifications supporting the approved programs.
Sincerely,
/s/DNeighbofs for S.
