Submittal of Proposed Attemative to Utilize Code Case N 516-1

Dear Sir:

in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(s)(3), attached for your review and approval is a proposed attemative to 10 CFR 50.55a(g) to utilize Code Case N-516-1, " Underwater Welding,Section XI, Division 1" for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Units 2 and 3, and the Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 Inservice Inspection (ISI) Programs. A discussion of 4

the basis for this proposed attemative is contained in the attachment. This proposed attemative ,

is first necessary for use in the installatum of the suction strainer modification as required by IE  !

Bulletin 96-03, " Potential Plugging of Emergency Core Cooling Suction Strainers by Debris in I ,

Boiling Water Reactors." This modification is currently planned for the upcoming fall outage at f PBAPS, Unit 3. Therefore, we request that this attemative be approved by September 30,1997. j <

if you have any questions, please conta::t us.

f Very truly yours, _

l PROPOSED ALTERNATNE TO ASME SECTION XI CODE REQUIREMENTS

- ' Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Units 2 and 3 Limerick Generating Station (LGS), Units 1 and 2 -

l In accordance wth 10 CFR 50.55a(s)(3)(1) and (ii), PECO Energy Company (PECO Energy) requests authorization to utilize an attemative to 10 CFR 50.55a(g) which invokes the l l

requirements contained in specific Editions of the ASME Section XI Code for Inservice Inspection and Repair and Replacement Programs. J

Specifically' PECO Energy proposes to utilize the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee -

Code Case N-5161, " Underwater Welding,Section XI, Division 1", approved in January 1997 (Attachment A), as an altemative to the Repair and Replacement welding requirements contained in the ASME Section XI Code Editions incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a(b),

including the 1992 Eddion with the 1992 Addenda of Subsection IWE. The Codes currently '

applicable to the PECO Energy nuclear facilities are the 1980 Edition, including the Wintor 1981 Addenda for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Units 2 and 3; and the 1986 Edition, no Addenda for Limerick Generating Station (1.GS), Units 1 and 2.

Presently, none of the versions of the ASME Section XI Code, incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a, contain guidance for the performance of underwater welding in conjunction with ASME Section XI Repairs or Replacements. Revision 0 of Code Case N-516 is currently being reviewed for endorsement via Revision 12 to Regulatory Guide 1.147 (Draft Regulatory Guide 4 DG-1050, May 1997). However, this version of the subject Code Case is only applicable for use on P-No. 8 and P-No. 4X materials. Revision 1 of the Code Case extends the applicability to P-No.1 materials as well. Authorization to utilize the guidance provided in Revision 1 of the j subject Code Case will allow PECO Energy to control the performance of underwater welding in accordance with an appropriate industry standard.

Code Case N-5161 is an ASME approved code case (Attachment B) intended to provide an acceptable level of quality and safety when applied to underwater ASME Section.XI Repairs and >

Replacements which PECO Energy will need to perform. Further, use of the Code Case will enable PECO Energy to avoid extreme hardship and unusual difficulties associated with needed ASME Section XI Repairs a.id Replacements. As an example, PECO Energy is currently planning to replace suction strainers at the PBAPS in response to IE Bulletin 96-03,

  • Potentia!

Plugging of Emergency Core Cooling Suction Strainers by Debris in Bolling Water Reactors,"

during the upcoming 3R11 outage scheduled to begin in October,1997. Without the attemative

, for underwater welding, it would be necessary to perform welding in air necessitating the draining of the suppression chamber, or drilling and bolting underwater. Draining of the suppression chamber is a complex evolution that would result in the movement of a significant quantity of contaminated water. These options would require additional installation time and increased dose without a compensating 3 crease in safety. These options would also result in a significant financial hardship as s resWt of lost generation due to an extended outage, and additional modification costs. AddR6onally, incidental welding repairs to the suptvession chamber pressure a

boundary may be necessary during the installation of suction strainers which would necessitate it.e use of this code case.

' Authorization to utilize Code Case N-5161 will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety, eliminate hardship and unusual difficulty encountered in complying with current Code requinunents, and enhance the abilky of PECO Energy to perform repairs and replacements of the safety mleted components in Rs nuclear facilities. The Code Case will provide appropriate

' controis over the welding pmcesses which are needed to implement such repairs, replacements, l

. and modifications in a safe and effective manner. l c a i

  • t p

Additionally, when applying tHs Code Case to the welding of highly irradiated Class 1 materials, PECO Energy will perform the appropriate qualification testing for such applications per the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.147 (including draft Revision 12).

Use of the Code Case will be noted on the applicable Code Report Forms for the repairs or

. replacements which are performed utilizing the guidance contained therein.
