IE:ll:NRC IE Circular 76-06 50-269 50-270 50-287

Dear Mr. Moseley:

f Your letter of November 24, 1976 transmitted ole Circular 76-06 dis-cussing problems encountered with stress corrosion cracks in stagnant low pressure stainless steel piping containing boric acid solution and requested that we submit a description of a program for assuring i

i continued integrity of safety-related piping systems which are not i

f requently flushed or which contain non-flowing liquids.

In response to this request, the following program is submitted:

j Oconee Unit 1

(') Class I and 2 piping and components will be examined in accordance with the inservice inspection provision of 10CFR50.55a, with exceptions noted in the Oconee Technical Specifications.

(2) Class 3 piping and components will be examined as indicated in.

Oconee Units 2 and 3 i

The requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI

)

1970 Edition through Winter 1970 Addenda, and Enclosure 1 apply.

Ex-ceptions are identified in the Oconee Technical Specifications.

The above examinations will be performed during the next scheduled refueling outage for each unit and once again within the ten (10) year inspection interval.
