SUBJECT:

USE OF NB-2510 0F SECTION III, 1983 EDITION, SUMMER 1983 ADDENDA FOR THE HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION The staff has completed its review of the February 1,1985 Public Service Electric and Gas Company request for authorization to adopt the provisions of.NB-2510 in the 1983 Edition through the Summer 1983 Addenda of Section.III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The Code of Record for Hope Creek "is ASME Section III, 1974 Edition through the Winter 1974 Addenda to the Code.

The provisions of NB-2510 in the Summer 1983 Addenda permit the use of seam-

.less pipe, tubes, and fittings one inch. nominal-pipe size and less without examination by nondestructive methods and. deleted the additional design require-

-ments.of NB-3673 for unexamined pipe and tubing. The revisions were made to

, -eliminate inconsistencies in the Code. The Code of Record requires the additional requirements of NB-3673 be met if the: pipes, tubes, and fitting are to be excluded from nondestructive examination for two inch nominal pipe size and

,less.

We find the use of NB-2510, " Examination of Pressure Retaining Materials," in the.1983 Edition, Summer 1983 Addenda of Section III of the ASME Code to be acceptable for use at Hope Creek-provided all related provisions of the Code are adhered to.
