Dear Mr. Opeka:
SUBJECT:
MILLSTONE NVCLEAR POWLR STATION, UNIT 1 - INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM RELIEF REQUESTS FOR PUMPS AND VALVES (TAC NO. M84917)
By letter dated October 30, 1992, Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (NNECO) provided the NRC staff with their resolution of the outstanding items regarding the Inservice Testing (IST) Program at Millstone Unit No. 1.
By letter dated January 8, 1992, the staff issued its safety evaluation in response to NNEC0's submittal of Revision 4 of the Millstone Unit No.1 IST Program and associated relief requests.
In the NRC's January 8, 1992, safety evaluation, the staff requested NNECO to provide a description of the process used in developing the IST Program, in addition, the staff requested that NNECO address the items identified in the " Anomalies and Action Items" Section of the above-mentioned safety evaluation. NNEC0's October 30, 1992, submittal addressed Dese items and, in addition, forwarded Revision 5 of the IST Program (with 8 relief requests for pumps and 14 relief requests fo" valves).
The staff's review of NNECO's submittal is provided in the enclosed safety evaluation.
The Code of Federal Regula+1ons, 10 CFR 50.55a, requires that inservice-testing of certain ASME Coe Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable addenda, excest where relief has been granted or proposed alternatives authorized )y the Commission pursuant to 50.55a(f)(6)(1),
(a)(3)(1), or (a)(3)(ii). Guidance on acceptable alternatives to Section XI requirements was provided in Generic letter 89-04, Guidance on Developing Acceptable Inservice Testing Programs, for certain aspects of IST.
The staff concludes that some of the relief requests as evaluated and modified in the enclosed safety evaluation will provide reasonable assurance of the operational readiness of the pumps and valves to perform their safety-related functions, provided NNEC0 makes the applicable modifications described in the relief requests during refueling outages 14 (1994) and 15 (1996). The staff has determined that granting relief pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(6)(1) is nenn Q.J 0 0 [
