SUBJECT:

FIRST 10-YEAR INTERVAL INSERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM, THROUGH i

REVISION 5 - WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 (TAC NO. M84584)

By letter dated September 17, 1992, Entergy Operations, Inc. (the licensee),

submitted Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station First Ten-Year Interval Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program Plan, Revision 5.

Additional Information was provided by the licensee in.a letter dated June 4, 1993, and a conference call on June 30, 1993. The NRC, with the assistance of its contractor, Idaho National ' Engineering Laboratory (INEL), reviewed and evaluated the licensee's submittal dated September 17, 1992, and additional information, and concluded that the Waterford 3 First 10-Year Interval ISI Program Plan, through Revision 5, provides an acceptable level of quality and safety and is authorized pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55(a)(3)(i) and is in compliance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g), except where relief was denied. Our safety evaluation (SE) is enclosed.

Based on our review, we conclude that the requirements of-the Code are impractical and relief is granted or remains granted for Requests for Relief 151-001 Parts A, B, E, F, G, H, I, and J, 151-002,'151-003, ISI-006, 151-007, 151-010, 151-011, and ISI-013. for Request for Relief 151-001, Part C, relief is granted for steam generator welds04-011 and 04-012.

For reactor pressure vessel inside radius sections01-027 and 01-030, it is concluded that relief is not required at this time and that the subject volumetric examinations should be completed when the core barrel is removed.

For pressurizer nozzles05-011 and 05-012, relief is denied based on inadequate technical justification.

For Request for Relief 151-001 Part D, partial relief is granted as specified i

in Section 2.E of our SE. For certain welds contained in Part D, it was determined that relief could not be granted until an approximation of the.

l percentage of the Code-required examinations that could be performed was provided. Therefore, relief was denied'for these welds.

For Request for Relief 151-012, relief is granted for Groups 2 and 3, but i

denied for Group 1.

The impracticality of examining Group I was not evident.
