• t ,/ August 20, 1990 Docket No. 50-333 Mr. John C. Brons Executive Vice President - Nuclear Generation Power Authority of the State of New York  :

123 Main Street White Plains, New York 10601 '

SUBJECT:

REVISED SECOND TEN-YEAR INTERVAL INSERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM-REEVALUATION OF THREE RELIEF REQUESTS FOR THE JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (TAC NO. 74206)  :

By letter dated September 30, 1985, as supplemented and revised by submittals dated August 27, and December 8,1986, you provided a proposed inservice inspection program plan for the second ten-year interval of operation, which included requests for relief from certain American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code inspection requirements. By letter dated October 27, 1987, we indicated that the plan was acceptable, granted certain relief requests and denied other relief requests. The staf f's safety evaluation and technical evaluation report (TER) prepared by the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) was also enclosed (

Reference:

TAC No. 60173).

By letter dated March 23, 1988, you resubmitted three of the relief requests which were denied by our letter of October 27, 1987, for reevaluation (Relief Request Numbers R14, R15, and RSA). We have completed the reevaluation and determined that sufficient bases to change our position exists for R14 only.

The necessary findings cannot be made to grant relief for R15 and RSA. The enclosed safety evaluation and corresponding pages from the TER explain the basis for this action.

We have deter:nined that the inspection requirements are impractical for the relief request which is being granted (Relief Request R14) and, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55s(g)(6)(1), that the granting of relief is authorized by law, will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest. In making this determination, we have given due

consideration to the burden that could result if the requirement is imposed on your facility. This letter grants relief for Relief Request R14 only. l This action closes TAC No. 74206.

Sincerely, ,
