/590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DOCKET NO. 50-313 ARKANSAS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY NOTICE OF GRANTING OF RELIEF FROM ASME SECTION XI INSERVICE INSPECTION (TESTING) REOUIREMENTS 1
The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted relief from certain requirements of the ASME Code,Section XI, " Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components"
' 1 to Arkansas Power & Light Company.
The relief relates to the inservice inspection (testing) program for the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit No.1 (the facility) located in Pope County, Arkansas.- The ASME Code requirements are incorporated by reference into the Commission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR Part 50.
The relief is effective as of its date of issuance.
The specific relief granted is as follows:
(1) Relief from measuring flow to the accuracy required by the ASME Code for Serivce Water System pumps until flow measuring devices are installed; and (2) Relief from the ASME Code requirement concerning volumetric examination of reactor coolant nozz1'e-to-vessel welds. The Commission determined that these requirements of the ASME Code a e impractical within the limitations of' design, geometry and materials of con-struction of components, because compliance would result in hard-ships or unusual' difficulties without a compensating ir:rease in the level of quility or safety.
7593-G1
.2-The requests for relief comply with the standards and require-ments' of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),
and the Comission's rules and regulations.
The Comission' has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Co :nission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the letter granting relief and the related Safety Evaluation.
Prior public notice of this action was not required since the granting of this relief from ASME Code requirements does not involv,e a signi ficant hazards consideration.
)
The Comission has detennined that the granting of this relief will not result in any significant environmental it;;act and that pursuant to 10 CFR 551.5(d)(4) an environmental impact statement or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with this action.
For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the requests for relief dated May 10, 1978 and January 10, 1979, and (2) the Comission's letter to the licensee dated March 8,1979, and (3) the Comission's related Safety Evaluation.
These items are available for public inspection at the Comission's Public Document Room,1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. and at the Arkansas Polytechnic College, Russellville, A-kansss A copy of items (2) and (3) may be obtained upn rs:uest ac resset e
