F Docket Nos. 50-325 and 50-324 Mr. E. E. Utley DEC 191985 Senior Executive Vice President Power Supply and Engineering & Construction Carolina Power & Light Company Post Office Box 1551 Raleigh, North Carolina 27602

SUBJECT:

RELIEF REQUEST FROM INSERVICE INSPECTION REQUIRDiENTS Re: Brunswick Steam Electric Steam Plant Units 1 and 2 By letter dated October 25, 1985 the Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) requested relief from the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, Category B-M-2, which requires visual examination of the internal surfaces at the pressure boundary of the Class I valves exceeding four inches in diameter nominal pipe size. The October 25, 1985 request cited a similar request which was granted by NRC letter dated May 19, 1983.

We have reviewed your request and find it is included within the scope of the request which was granted by the NRC letter dated May 19, 1983. That letter stated that any relief from code requirements granted herein expires on November 2, 1985 for Brunswick Unit 2, that is, the end of the current 10 year interval.

By letter dated July 1,1985 the staff granted a change in the inservice inspection interval in order to begin each unit on a common date, i.e., July 10, 1986. We conclude that granting that change extended the 10 year interval beyond November 2, 1985 and thereby extended the reliefs granted for that interval. Any relief beyond July 10, 1986 will be based on the CP&L submittal which describes the inservice inspection program for the 10 year interval which begins July 10, 1986.
