SUBJECT:
SURRY POWER STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 - ASME SECTION XI RELIEF REQUESTS SR-018 AND SR-025. THIRD 10-YEAR INSPECTION INTERVAL (TAC NOS.
M99353 AND M99354)
Dear Mr. O'Hanlon:
The purpose of this letter is to grant the relief you requested in relief requests SR-018 and SR-025 related to your inservice inspection program.
In your letter dated June 2. 1997. you stated that Surry Power Station. Unit 1 and Unit 2. are presently in the third 10-year inservice inspection interval.
and the examinations are conducted to meet the requirements of the 1989 Edition of ASME Section XI.
The Code requirements for the Code editions referenced above require a surface examination of the reactor vessel closure head nuts.
However. the 1989 Addenda of ASME Section XI has changed the requirement from a surface examination to a visual (VT-1) examination.
Relief was requested from performing a Code-required surface examination of the reactor vessel closure head nuts.
Based on our evaluation of your relief requests. it is concluded that the proposed alternative to perform a visual examination of the reactor vessel closure head nuts in lieu of a surface examination provides an acceptable level of quality and safety. Therefore. pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i).
the proposed alternative is authorized in that it provides an acceptable level of quality and safety. The staff's evaluation and conclusions are tontained in the Enclosure.
The staff has completed its evaluation of this matter and we are. therefore, closing TAC Nos. M99J53 and M99354.
