l Docket Nos.: 50-413-and 50-414 Mr. H.. B. Tucker, Vice President EMN Nuclear Production Department j Duke Power Company 422 South Church Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28242

Subject:

Transmittal cf Safety Evaluation Report and Technical Evaluation Report Regarding Pump and Valve Inservice Testing Program -

Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 By letters dated March 9,1983, and October 25, 1985, you requested Code re-lief from the pump and valve testing requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Section 50.55a(g)(3) and (g)(4)(i) for Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively. Additional submfttals revised your initial inservice testing (IST) program for Unit I up to Revision 12 and for Unit 2 up to Revision 3.

This relief was granted for Unit I until December 1,1986, by Facility Operating License NPF-35.

Based on the enclosed safety evaluation report (SER) and technical evaluation report (TER), the staff finds your IST programs and accompanying requests for relief acceptable with exceptions. We have sumarized the exceptions in the enclosed SER. The basis for cur conclusions is provided in the enclosed SER and the associated TER dated November 1986.

The Ccomission staff has reviewed your requests for relief pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(1). Such relief is hereby granted. Our review has deter-mined that the Code requirements for the components specified in your submittals (with exceptions listed in our SER) are impractical and the granting of the re-lief is authorized by law and will r.ot endanger life or property or the common defense and security and is otherwise in the public interest, given due consideration to the burden upon the licensee that could result if the require-nients were imposed on the facility.

Sincerely, 8701140085 87010s .- B. il. Youngblood, Director gDR ADOCK 05000413 PUR Project Directorate #4 PDR Division of PWR Licensing-A
