SUBJECT:
CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 2 - SECOND 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM, RELIEF REQUEST REGARDING SNUBBERS (TAC NO. M95255 AND M97982)
Dear Mr. McCollue:
Ny letter dated February 14, 1996, Duke Power Company submitted its second
- 0-year inservice inspection (ISI) interval program plan and associated requests for relief for Catawba Nuclear Station, Unit 2.
On February 27, 1997, we granted a number of the requested reliefs but stated that Request for Relief No. 96-01 regarding snubbers was being addressed under a separate licensing action (TAC M97982).
Based on the information provided, the staff has determined that Duke Power Company has presented an adequate justification for its relief request from the requirements of ASME Code, 1989 Edition,Section XI, Article IWF-5000 (which references OMa-1987, Part 4), with regard to visual examination and functional testing of Code Class 1, 2, and 3 snubbers. The staff has determined that the proposed alternative use of the Technical Specification for the Code Class snubbers would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety and, therefore, the alternative is authorized pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(1).
