Dear Mr. Carey:
By letter dated May 2,1979, as revised March 17, 1980, you submitted a proposed inservice testing program description and request for relief from testing requirements pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g). The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the results of the staff review of your relief requests and to grant relief in part from the requirements of Section XI of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (the Code) or impose other requirements, as appropriate.
The review of requests for relief from the pump and valve testing requirements of the Code included in your submittal of March 17, 1980 has been ccmpleted.
j Pased on the results of this review, the staff has determined there are cases in which the requests relief cannot be granted, others where alternate testing is necessary, and those where relief can be granted as requested. Additionally, it has been determined that certain pressure isolation valves should have testing conducted in addition to the exercising requirements of the Code.
Your submittal of March 17, 1980 and the EG&G Technical Evaluation Report (attached to SER) address the period January 30, 1980 through September 29, 1 981. The staff's safety evaluation, however, addresses the first ten year inspection interval for your facility and the relief granted and the alternate testing imposed are intended to cover the period October 1,1976 through September 30,19R6.
It is not anticipated that the scope of your requests for relief will change with this expansion of the interval. However, if you determine that additional relief is needed, you should sutnit a supplemental request for relief and provide justification for your request.
Section 50.551(g) of 10 CFR Part 50 requires that your program be revised at 120 nonth intervals with the start of commercial operation being the reference date. The start of the next interval for your facility is October 1,1986, and your inservice inspection and testing program must be based on the edition and addenda of the Code incorporated by 10 CFR 50.55a(b) 12 nonths prior to that date. Any' changes to your Technical Specifications are required to be subnitted at least six months prior to the beginning of a 120 month interval and it is requested that any requests for relief from Code requirements be t
