SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF FROM ASME CODE REPAIR REQUIREMENTS FOR ASME CLASS 3 EMERGENCY DIESEL: GENERATOR INTERCOOLER DRAIN LINE, WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION (TAC NO._M96477),
^
Dear Mr. Maynard:
~
The staff has reviewed and evaluated the information rovided by the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (t.he licensee) in its letter dated September 3, 1996. The licensee requested temporary relief from the ASME Code,Section XI requirements to repair 'a, flaw in' the emergency diesel generator (EDG) intercooler drain line ~at"the Wolf Creek Generating Station.
The staff has determined that the licensee's flaw evaluation has been consistent with the guidelines and acceptance criteria of GL 90-05. The staff therefore finds the licensee's structural' integrity and operability assessments to be acceptable. The' licensee is monitoring the leak every shift and ultrasonic examination is being performed quarterly on 12 locations of the inlet and outlet drain lines of all six EDG A and B train heat exchangers to determine any degradation of structural integrity. The licensee's actions constitute an acceptable temporar" alternative to the Code requirements. The staff's evaluation is contained a the attached safety evaluation.
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) the alternative is authorized until the next scheduled outage exceeding 30 days, but no later than January 31, 1997.
Sincerely, Original Signed By g(
