SUBJECT:
SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, AND HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION, REQUEST TO USE ALTERNATIVES TO ASME CODE SECTION XI (TAC NOS. M91036, M91037, AND M91038)
Dear Mr. Eliason:
By letter dated October 19, 1994, Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) requested approval to use alternatives to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Section XI pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55(a)(3). Specifically, PSE&G requested approval to use the provisions of Code Case N-498-1, "Alternative Rules for 10-Year System Hydrostatic Testing for Class 1, 2, and 3 Systems," and Code Case N-524, "Alternative Examination Requirements for Longitudinal Welds in Class 1 and 2 Piping," for Salem and Hope Creek.
The NRC staff has reviewed the PSE&G submittal and concludes that Code Cases N-498-1 and N-524 are authorized pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55(a)(3)(ii).
Use of these two Code Cases is authorized until such time as the Code Cases are published in a future revision of Regulatory Guide 1.147.
At that time, if PSE&G intends to continue to implement these Code Cases, PSE&G is to follow*
all provisions in Code Cases N-498-1 and N-524, with limitation issued in Regulatory Guide 1.147, if any.
The staff's evaluation and conclusions are contained in the enclosed safety evaluation.
Sincerely, Original signed by Chester Poslusny for John F. Stolz, Director
