EVALUATIONOF RELIEF REQUEST 2RG-008 RELATED TO SNUBBER INSERVICE INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS - SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (TAC NO. MA0989)
Dear Mr. Scarola:
By letter dated January 27, 1998, Carolina Power 8 Light Company (CP8L) submitted the Harris Nuclear Plant (HNP) Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program Plan for the second 10-year inspection interval. Relief request 2RG-008, related to the ISI requirements for snubbers, was included in the ISI Program Plan.
Specifically, 2RG-008 requested relief to perform ISI of snubbers in accordance with the HNP Technical Specifications (TS) in lieu of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) OM-4 Code.
By letters dated August 24, 1998, and April27, 1999, CP&L submitted revisions to relief request 2RG-008.
The staff has reviewed and evaluated relief request 2RG-008 as documented in the enclosed Safety Evaluation.
The staff has determined that the proposed alternative will provide a reasonable assurance of operational readiness, and that compliance with the existing requirement would result in hardship or unusual difficultywithout a compensating increase in the level of safety. Accordingly, the request for relief is authorized pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)3(ii) for the second 10-year inspection interval.
Sincerely, Original signed by:
