'ugust 13, 1991 Docket No. 50-400 Mr. Lynn Eury Executive Vice President Power Supply Carolina Power 5 Light Company Post Office Box 1551 Ralei'gh, North Carolina 27602
Dear Mr. Eury:
'UBJECT:
INSERVICE TESTING (IST)
PROGRAM RELIEF REQUEST FOR SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1 (TAC NO. 80093)
By letter dated April 4, 1991, you requested relief from the exercising require-ments of Section XI of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (Code) pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a.
Relief was requested from the IWV-3520 requirement of Section XI for check valve ICS-294 in the refueling water storage tank supply line to the charging pump supply header.
You proposed to partial-stroke exercise the valve at cold shutdown and full-stroke exercise the valve at refueling.
In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a, the NRC staff has reviewed your request.
The staff concluded that performance of a full-stroke exercise at each refueling outage and partial stroke exercise at each cold shutdown is a reasonable alternative to the ASME Code requirement to full-stroke exercise this valve during cold shutdown.
Meeting the ASME Code requirement would require system modification which would be costly and burdensome to the licensee.
We have determined that the exer'cising requirements are impractical for the subject check valve for which relief is being granted and, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i), that the granting of relief is authorized by law, will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest.
In making this determination, we have given due consideration to the burden that could result if those requirements are imposed on your facility.
This letter grants the relief.
