Jan A. Norris, Project Manager Project Directorate II-2 Division of Reactor Projects I/II Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation FROM:

James A. Norberg, Chief Mechanical Engineering Branch Division of Engineering Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION OF THE INSERVICE TESTING (IST) PROGRAM RELIEF REQUESTS FOR PUMPS AND VALVES ST. LUCIE PLANT, UNIT 2 TAC NO. M-87207 The Mechanical Engineering Branch, 'with technical assistance from Bro'okhaven National Laboratory (BNL), has reviewed the information concerning IST program requests for relief submitted for the St. Lucie Plant, Unit 2, in Florida Power

& Light Company's letter dated August 3,1993. A previous Safety Evaluation for the St. Lucie Plant, Unit 2, IST Program was issued for the first ten-year interval in NRC's letter dated August 23, 1993, which granted interim relief for 4

certain relief requests which, as noted in the attached Safety Evaluation, continued into the second interval The second ten-year interval beLan August 8, 1993.

The staff adopts the evaluations and recommendations for granting relief or authorizing alternatives contained in the attached Technical Evaluation Report (TER)- prepared by BNL, as reflected in the enclosed Safety Evaluation (SE).

Relief is granted from or alternatives are authorized to the testing requirements which have been determined to be impractical to perform, where compliance would result in a hardship without a compensating increase in safety, or where the proposed alternative testing provides an acceptable level of quality and safety.

Certain relief requests have been approved pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a (f)(4)(iv) where it has been determined that the proposed alternative is in accordance with the requirements of the 1989 Edition of ASME Section XI. A summary of the NRC actions is provided in Table 1 of the enclosed Safety Evaluation.

  • The IST program relief requests which are granted, authorized, or approved are acceptable for implementation provided the action items identified in Section 5 1

of the TER are addressed within one year of the date of the SE or by the end of the next refueling outage, whichever is later, including the items identified in the August 23, 1993, SE. Additionally, the granting of relief is based upon the fulfillment of any commitments made by the licensee in the basis for each relief request and the alternatives proposed.

Program changes involving new or revised relief requests should be submitted to the NRC. Programs changes that meet the positions in GL 89-04, Attachment 1, may i

be implemented provided the guidance in GL 89-04, Section D, is followed.

Program changes that add or delete components from the IST program should be periodically provided to the NRC.

This submittal completes the technical review to be performed by the Mechanical Engineering Branch under TAC Numbers M-87207.

In accordance with Office Letter No. 907, Revision 2, a SALP input for this effort is also enclosed, l
