e TS 4.2-2 Sensitized stainless steel augmented inspections were added to assure piping integrity of this classification.

Item 2.1 The examinations required by this item utilize the periodically updated ASME Section XI Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code referenced in Technical Specification 4.0.5 in this augmented examination. The surface and volumetric examinations required by this item will be conducted at three times the frequency required by the Code in an interval. In addition to the Code required pressure testing, visual examinations will be conducted, while the piping is pressurized by the procedures defined in Tables 4.1-3A & B of Technical Specification 4.1, concerning flushing of sensitized stainless steel piping. Weld selection criteria are modified from the Code for Class 1 welds, since stress level information as correlated to weld location is unavailable for Surry.

Item 2.2 The sensitized stainless steel located in the containment and recirculation spray. rings in the overhead of containment are *classified ASME Class 2 components. These components are currently exempted by ASME Section XI from surface and volumetric examination requirements. As such, an augmented program will remain in place requiring visual (VT-1) examination of these components for evidence of cracking. Additionally, sections of the piping will be examined by liquid penetrant inspection when the piping is visually inspected.

SECTION B. SENSITIZED STAINLESS STEEL Required Required Examination Examination 10-Year Item No, Area Methods Interval Inspection Remarks 2.2.1 Containment and Visual (VT-1) and (See remarks) At least 25% of the examinations Recirculation surface examination shall have been completed by the Spray Piping expiration of one-third of the inspection interval and at least 50%

shall have been completed by the expiration of two-thirds of the inspection interval. The remaining required examinations shall be completed by the end of the inspection interval. Surface examinations will include 6 patches (each 9 inches square) evenly distributed around each spray ring.

e Note 1: a) The examinations shall be distributed among the systems prorated, to the degree practicable, on the number of sensitized stainless steel welds in each system (i.e., if a system contains 30% of the welds, then 30% of the required examinations shall be performed on that system).

b) Within a system terminal ends (e.g., branch connections, pipe to pump, pipe to valve) shall be selected. The remainder of the selection shall select structural discontinuities (pipe fittings) prorated to the degree practicable to the number of discontinuities in that system. Other selections may be necessary to meet the total weld selection criteria. -I
