Section 5.2.4 of the Vodated FSAR provides details of the inservice inspection program.

Starting with the Cycle 9/10 Refueling Outage, an augmented: inspection s

program was implemented to address concerns relating to Intergranular Stress Corrpston Cracking (IGSCC) in reactor coolant piping made of 'austenitic stainless steel.

The augmented inspection program conforms to the NRC staff's positions set forth in Generic Letter 88-01 and NUREG-0313, Revision 2 for inspection schedule, inspection methods and personnel, andL inspection sample expansion.

i The first 10-year interval for inservice testing of ptsnps and valves in-accordance with the ASME Code,Section XI commenced on February 1,1975 and ended on January 31, 1985. The second 10-year inservice testing interval commenced on February 1,1985 and is scheduled to end. on January 31, 1995.

j The second 10-year testing progran addresses the requirements of the ASME Code,Section XI,1980 Edition with Addenda through Winter 1981, sub. ject to the limitations and modifications of 10 CFR 50.55a. Section 3.9.6.of the Updated FSAR describes the inservice testing program.

l 3.6.H & 4.6.H BASES:

J Shock Suppressors (Snubbers)

Snubbers are designed to prevent unrestrained pipe motion under dynanic loads as might occur during an earthquake or other severe transient, while acconnodating normal thermal motion during systen startup and shutdown. :The'-

~

consequence of an inoperable snubber is an increase in the. probability of, damage to piping as a result of a seismic or other event initiating dynamic loads or, in the case of a frozen snubber, exceeding-allowable stress; limits-ouring system thermal transients..It 'is therefore required that all-snubbers required to protect the primary coolant system or any other safety.

1.

INTRODUCTION By letter dated May 6, 1994, IES Utilities Inc. submitted a request for revision to the Technical Specifications for the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC).

The proposed changes contained in this submittal which delete reference to the inservice inspection (ISI) program interval dates will allow.

j DAEC's current ISI program interval to be extended in accordance with the ruling in Federal Register 57 FR 34666-dated August 6, 1992.

2.

ASSESSMENT The proposed revision deletes SR 4.6.G.1.a which refers to 1

the ISI program interval.

The proposed revision also adds clarification, deletes the inspection interval dates for the ISI program, deletes reference to the ASME. edition'and addenda requirements to be addressed by the ISI program and j

deletes information that is vague or no-longer necessary from Technical Specification Bases 3.6.G and 4.6.G.

'The j

proposed revision does not involve a significant hazards-consideration.

The changes which delete reference'to the ISI program interval dates are consistent with comparable j

specifications in the Improved Standard Technical Specifications (NUREG-1433).

The ISI program'will continue to conform with the ASME code and approved relief requests.

~

Based upon the above assessment, we conclude that this I

request is acceptable.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION i

10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) identifies certain licensing and. regulatory actions which are eligible for categorical exclusion from the

.j requirement to perform an environmental assessment.

A proposed 1

amendment to an operating license for a facility requires no

)

environmental assessment if operation of the facility in C

ac ordance with the proposed amendment would not:

(1) involve-a significant hazards consideration; (2) result in a significant

')

change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of.any eff]uents that may be released offsite; and.(3) result'in a sigiificant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

IES Utilities Inc. has reviewed this request and determined that the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR j

51.22(c)(9).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental 1

impact statement or environmental assessment needs to be. prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.

The basis for this determination follows:

1 Basis This revision meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) for the following reasons:

1.

As demonstrated in Attachment 1, the proposed revision does not involve a significant hazards consideration.

2.

No change in either plant design or operational strategies will be made as a result of this revision, therefore there will be no increase in either the types or amounts of effluents that may be released offsite.

3.

No changes in either plant design or operational strategies will be made as a result of this revision, therefore there will be no significant increase in either individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
