C Attcchment to CP&L Lettcr cf R:cpon:2 to NRC Report RII: 50-400/85-48-01 Reported Violation 10 CFR 50.55a paragraph (g) subparagraph (2) allows the licensee to use the American Saciety of Mechanical Engineer (ASME) Code Section XI, 1980 Edition with addenda through the winter 1981. Carolina Power and Light Company's Inservice Inspection Program delineated in Procedure Number ISI-201 Revision I, the ASME Code, 1980 Edition, with addenda through winter 1981.
Contrary to the above, Nuclear Energy Service, Inc.
(NES) Inservice Inspection Procedure IST-501 (Rev. 1) and IST-401 (Rev. 1) were written to the ASME Code, 1980 Edition with addenda through winter 1982.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement II).
Denial or Admission and Reason for the Violation:
The violation is correct as stated.
The voluntary upgrade to the winter 1982 addenda of the ASME Section XI Code, in Procedures IST-401 (Rev. 1) and IST-501 (Rev. 1), was done in the interest of keeping the SHNPP ISI program up to date with current ASME code requirements. Notification to the NRC of CP&L's position to utilize the more stringent requirements of the winter 1982 addenda in the referenced NDE procedures, was not considered to be necessary.by the personnel involved.
Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved:
A letter stating CP&L's position to utilize the winter 1982 addenda was submitted to the NRC (NRR) on March 13, 1986 (Letter No. NLS-86-069). As of this date, no response has been received back from the NRC. ISI-201 is being revised to invoke 1980 Edition with addenda through winter 1982 for nondestructive testing and acceptance criteria.
Corrective Steps Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance:
ISI Personnel (Technical Support Unit) have been reinstructed in the requirements of 10CFR50.55a(g), to provide written notification to the NRC (NRR) when changes in ASME code commitments in the SHNPP ISI program are required.
Date When Full Compliance Was Achieved It is projected that a response indicating acceptance of CP&L's position will be received from the NRC (NRR) by September 15, 1986. Revision to ISI-201 is projected to be approved by August 22, 1986.
Reinstruction of ISI personnel was accomplished on August 8, 1986.
