Refueling Water Storage Tank Check Valve Inservice Testing l
Gentlemen
- i By letter dated November 15, 1984, the NRC transmitted u Safety Evaluation for performing the inservice testing of the Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) Containment Spray suction check valve for each unit.
i The NRC safety evaluation provided a clear description of the required
[
j frequency of the disassembly test method, but Alabama Power Company is
}
j uncertain whether the relief included the required frequency of the i
equivalent flow test method.
l l
It is Alabama Power Company's understanding that relief was granted to either 1) disassemble the RWST check valve or 2) perform a test which will demonstrate equivaler.t flow through the check valve.
This relief was provided on a refueling outage basis and not every cold shutdown as stated in the ASME Section XI Code Section IWV-3522.
Alabama Power Company requests written confirmation of the aforementioned position by December 1,1985 in order to facilitate planning for an equivalent flow test during the upcoming Unit 1 and 2 refueling j
outages.
