April 7,1980 Docket No. 50-334 Mr. C. N. Dunn, Vice President Operations Division Duquesne Light Company 435 Sixth Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15219
Dear Mr. Dunn:
By letters dated February 15 and 21,1980 you requested additional relief from ASME Code requirements and committed to additions, respectively, to your previously approved Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station, Unit No.1 Inser-vice Inspection (ISI) Program.
You also requested deletion of all references to Table 4.4-4 from the plant's Appendix A Technical Specifications on the basis that NRC approval of these requests and our earlier December 4, 1979 approval of your ISI program would make this table obsolete.
For the reasons set forth in the enclosed Safety Evaluation, we hereby grant the relief from ASME Code requirements requested in your February 15, ';80 letter and approve the additions to your ISI prograra which your February 21, 1980 letter comits.
The relief from ASME Code requirements granted by.the Safety Evaluation shall remain in effect until specifically revoked by the NRC or until the end of the 120-month period beginning September 30, 1976.
Table 1 of the enclosed Safety Evaluation delineates those items for which relief has been granted and alternative examinations defined.
We are granting this relief and imposing alternative examinations based on our review of the information you submitted to support your determinations that certain ASME Code requirements would be impractical for your facility. We have determined that the granting of this relief is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property, or the comon defense and security, and will otherwise be in the public interest.
In making this determinatiori we have given due consider-ation to the burdcn that could result if these requirements were imposed on your facility.
The Commission has also issued the enclosed Amendment No. 27 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-66 for the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1.
The amendment consists of changes to the Technical Specifications in response to your application transmitted by letter dated February 15, 1980 as supplemented February 21, 1980.
The amendment deletes all references to Technical Specification Table 4.4-4.
This deletion is administrative in nature since the ISI requirements formerly
Mr. C. N. Dunn Duquesne Light Company April 7,1980 covered by that table are now provided in the NRC approved Beaver Valley, Unit No. 1 ISI program as amended. The notation to Table 4.4.4 is retained in Technical Specification 3/4.4.13 however, until that program is complete.
A copy of the related Federal Register Notice is also enclosed.
Sincerely, b
A. Schwencer, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #1 Division of Operating Reactors
