Dear Mr. McMeekin:

SUBJECT:
MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION - REQUEST FOR RELIEF FROM ASME SECTION XI INSERVICE INSPECTION HYDROSTATIC TESTING OF CLASS B PIPING WITHIN MECHANICAL PENETRATORS M372 AND M373 (TAC NO. M86405)
By letters dated May 18 and May 25, 1993, Duke Power Company submitted a relief request (Relief Request 93-02) for NRC's review and approval.
This request for relief involves a hydrostatic test of the Class B piping within mechanical penetrators M372 and M373 during the first ten-year interval.
These penetrations are part of the glycol-water mixture supply and return lines for the ice condenser refrigerant system.
Based on the information submitted, the staf f 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 type of visual examination required by the ASME Code; as to do so would initiate degradation of the ice condenser system. 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 /
/s David B. Matthews, Director Project Directorate 11-3 Division of Reactor Projects - I/II office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
