Dear Mr. Stewart:
H. Berkow D. Miller D. Roberts
SUBJECT:
RELIEF REQUEST FROM HYDROSTATIC TEST REQUIREMENTS FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT OF VALVE - SURRY, UNIT 2 (TAC NO. 74537)
By letter dated August 29, 1989, you requested and supported relief from the hydrostatic test requirements of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for a small 3-inch non-return valve that was replaced in the main steam system at Surry, Unit 2.
The staff has reviewed and evaluated your relief request for the weld associated with the new valve, and our findings are presented in the enclosed Safety Evaluation.
Based upon the evaluation, we conclude that the ASME code require-ments for hydrostatic testing are impractical to perform at Surry Unit 1, and that the alternate examinations specified in your submittal provide an acceptable assessment of structural integrity for the welds.
Accordingly, relief from the hydrostatic testing requirements for the above cited weld is granted as requested, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i). This relief is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest giving due consideration to the burden upon the licensee that could result if the requirements were imposed on the facility.
