Dear Sir:
Subject:
Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station
< Docket No. 50-219 Inservice Inspection Program Relief Request Ril, Revision i By letter dated October 25,1994, the USNRC approved the Inservice Inspection Program for the third ten year interval at the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (TAC No. M83210).
By letter dated May 7,1993, GPU Nuclear submitted ASME Relief Request R11. This request proposed, in part, that welds examined pursuant to ASME Section XI category B-F/B5.10, B-J/B9.10, and C-F-1/C5.10, be inspected in accordance with NRC Generic Letter 88-01. Further, the request proposed that the inspectors would be qualified in accordance with Generic 12tter 88-01. This request was approved by the NRC on October 25,1994.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55(a)(3), this letter is being written to request a revision to Relief Request Ril to allow for the utilization of newer, state of the art, detection methods. The requested alternate examinations would involve implementing the Performance Demonstration Initiative program. To allow for the timely submittal of requisite NIS-1 and NIS-2 forms from the recent Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station refueling outage, it is further requested that this alternate testing be granted by January 15, 1997.

- 3. Category C-F-1/C5.10 examinations are required for 7.5% of the total number of welds, but not less than 28 welds, of all austenitic stainless steel high alloy welds not exempted by IWC-1200. The examinations shall be distruted in accordance with Table IWC-2500-1.
6730-96-2341 Attachment 1 Page 2 CODE RELIEF REOUEST:
, The following requests are based on the dual inspection requirements for ASME Section XI and Generic Letter 88-01. The three ASME Section XI examination categories described above are inclusive with the examination criteria for IGSCC detection in accordance with the
- Generic Letter. The subject welds are piping of austenitic stainless steel,4 inches or larger in nominal diameter, and contain reactor coolant at a temperature greater than or equal to 200 F during power operation. GPUN requests the following relief
- 1. Apply credit to ASME Section XI ultrasonic examination requirements when an IGSCC ultrasonic examination that meets Generic Letter 88-01 requirements is performed on a weld. (This has already been approved as Relief Request RI1.)
- 2. Apply credit to ASME Section XI ultrasonic examination requirements when ultrasonic examination tech.dques and personnel qualified to Performance Demostration Initiative (PDI) criteria for the detection of IGSCC are utililized.
1 HASIS FOR RELIEF:
Relief Request No.1 There are more than 300 welds identified as having both ISI and IGSCC inspection requirements. For ISI, these welds are examined to categories B-F/B5.10, B-J/B9.10 and
'{
C-F-1/C5.10 requirements. For IGSCC these welds are examined to Generic Letter 88-01 requirements. Efforts have been made to consolidate the two inspection schedules for ASME i XI and IGSCC scopes, but the differences between the two scheduling criteria often result in a duplication of inspections. The limitations imposed by IGSCC requirements were due to the extreme inspection frequency criteria for the IGSCC examinations. The schedule can range
- from a 25% inspection sample within the Ten Year Inspection Interval to as many as five
! inspections for the same weld within the Ten Year inspection Interval. The scope criteria for ASME Section XI are, B-F (100%) , B-J (25%) and C-F-1 (7.5%). The limitations caused by ASME Section XI were due to the maximun examination credit per period and sequence of examinations from interval to interval per IWB-2400 and IWC-2400. In complying with both the ISI schedule and IGSCC schedule, GPUN has experienced scheduling hardships that have resulted in unwarranted radiation exposures, and both unnecessary labor and material costs.

6730-96-2341 I Attachment i Page 3 Relief Request no. 2 By letter dated March 1,1996. Russell to Donovan, the USNRC approved Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGSCC) examiner qualifications obtained by passing the PDI qualification program. Further, in that same letter the USNRC states in part:
... it is intended that the PDI program eventually replace the IGSCC Coordination Plan and that the IGSCC Coordination Plan will subsequently be j dissolved..."
I in the recent refueling outage,16R, the IGSCC examinations were performed by ultrasonic procedures and contractor personnel that were qualified under the PD1 Program.Section XI credit was intended to be taken for some of the IGSCC examinations based on Relief Request R11, which was granted by NRC letter dated October 25,1994. It was subsequently determined that a revision to Relief Request Ril would be necessary in order to take Section XI credit for the examinations that l
were completed this refueling outage. The NIS-1 and NIS-2 forms are due for ;
submittal to the USNRC by January 23,1997.
