Dear Mr. McMeekin:

SUBJECT:
MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 2 - REQUEST FOR RELIEF FROM ASME SECTION XI INSERVICE INSPECTION HYDROSTATIC TESTING FOLLOWING REPAIR By letter dated June 4, 1993, Duke Power Company submitted a relief request (Relief Request 93-03) for NRC's review and approval.
This request for relief involves a system hydrostatic test of Class B weld within the letdown header of the Chemical and Volume Control System.
Based on the information submitted, the staff has evaluated the relief request and determined that the licensee's proposed relief request may be granted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i) as discussed in the enclosed Safety Evaluation. The staff has concluded that it is impractical to perform the test required by the ASME Code at the Code specified pressure of I.25 times the design pressure because an extensive amount of time would be required to rectify conditions which preclude reaching that pressure in the test.
This could, in turn, result in primary side chemistry problems and the need to shut down the plant.
This relief is authorized by law and will not endanger life, 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 ASME Code requirements were imposed upon the facility.
Sincerely, ORIGINAL SIGNED BY:
David B. Matthews, Director Project Directorate II-3 Division of Reactor Projects - I/II Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
