Executive Vice President, Nuclear Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company Northeast Nuclear Energy Company Post Office Box 270 Hartford, Connecticut 06141-0270
Dear Mr. Opeka:
SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR RELIEF FROM PERFORMING INSERVICE TESTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASME CODE SECTION XI - MILLSTONE 3 (TAC N0. M86238)
This letter is in response to your request for relief from ASME Code Section XI requirements for inservice testing submitted by letter dated April 13, 1993.
j You requested that, rather than perform the required biennial position j
indication tests, you be allowed alternative testing for certain valves for which position indication can be verified only during cold shutdown.
Your proposed alternative is to perform the testing during the 1993 refueling outage, but no later than September 30, 1993.
Based on the review summarized in the enclosed Safety Evaluation, the staff concludes that the proposed alternative testing is acceptable, and is authorized under 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii).
Sincerely, Original signed by:
John F. Stolz, Director Project Directorate I-4 Division of Reactor Projects - I/II Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
