In the Matter-of Tennessee Valley Authority Docket No. 50-260 BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN)
UNIT 2 WITHDRAWAL OF THE UNIT 2 RISK INFORMED INSERVICE INSPECTION (RI-ISI)
PROGRAM (MA3989)
The purpose of this letter is to inform NRC of TVA's decision to withdraw the proposed BFN Unit 2 pilot RI-ISI program.
This program was transmitted to NRC by TVA's letter dated October 23, 1998.
The proposed program contains an alternative to the current American Society of Mechanical EngineersSection XI inservice inspection requirements for Code Class 1,
2, and 3 piping.
In addition, the proposed RI-ISI program contains an alternative to Generic Letter (GL) 88-01 augmented inspection requirements for intergranular stress corrosion and cracking (IGSCC) associated with Categories A through G welds.
Subsequent to the BFN Unit 2 RI-ISI program submittal, the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) issued industry guidance in February 1999 regarding the format for proposed RI-ISI programs.
TVA plans to resubmit a revised BFN Unit 2 RI-ISI program that contains augmented IGSCC inspections for Category A welds only and is formatted in accordance with the NEI guidance.
TVA expects to resubmit the revised program within approximately six weeks.
