ATTACHMENT A Class 3 Piping Support Relief Request Request relief from the visual examination of five (5) Class 3 piping supports (IWD-2600[c]) identified in the basis for requesting relief.

Code Recuirement Supports (restraints) and hangers for components exceeding four inches nominal pipe size whose structural integrity is relied upon to withstand design loads when the system function is required shall be visually examined to detect any loss of support capability, and evidence of inadequate restraint.

Basis of Requesting Relief The following supports shown on Figure 13 are located at the bottom of the pipe trench outside the Fuel Handling Building and are in-accessible for visual examination due to the large amount of small bore piping which precludes access into the pipe trench and severly limits the visibility of these supports:

WR-R-153 (H-153)

WR-R-154 (H-154)

WR-R-155 (H-155)

Supports TC-R-8A (H-8A) and FC-R-57 (H-57) shown on Figure 34 are located underwater in the fuel pool and therefore, inaccessible for the code visual examination required.

Suggested Alternative Examination Requirements The following examination is being suggested for all five (5) supports listed above.

Perform a best effort visual examination utilizing the appropriate visual aids to improve the inspectability to the greatest extent possible. This best effort examination shall be done to detect any loss of support capability, and evidence of inadequate restraint.
