The advance reli.ef is granted on an interim basis, pending completion of our detailed review from those inservice inspection requirements of the ASME Code that the licensee has determined to be impractical within the limitations of design, geometry and materials of construction of components, because compliance would result in hardships or unusual difficulties without a compensating increase in the level of quality or safety.
The request for relief complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission l.s rules and regulations.
The Commission has mde appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, 9hich are set forth in the letter granting relief.
Prior public notice of this action was not required since the granting of this relief from ASME Code requirements does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
