Dear Mr. Nauman:

Subject:
Relief Request - ASME Code Section XI Requirements (Virgil C. Sumer Nuclear Station, Unit 1)
By a letter dated May 29, 1987, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company (SCE&G) requested relief from hydrostatic testing after repair to the ASME Code Section XI, Class 1, reactor coolant pump seal injection line.
In lieu of the required hydrostatic test, SCE&G proposed nondestructive examination consisting of surface and visual examination of the weld and an inservice leak test at nominal operating pressure.
We have determined that relief from the hydrostatic test required by Section XI is justified. The alternative examinations and test proposed by SCE&G, in lieu of the hydrostatic test requirement, will provide assurance of the structural integrity of the piping followin the repair.
Relief is granted pursuant to paragraph 10 CFR 50.55a(
)(1) based on our finding that (1) cartain specific requirements of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code,1977 Edition, through 1978 Addenda, are impractical and (2) such relief is authorized by law, will not endanger life or property, or the common defense and security and is otherwise in the public interest giving due consideration to the burden upon the licensee if such relief were not granted.
Our Safety Evaluation Report is enclosed.
Sincerely, I
)S Elinor G. Adensam, Director Project Directorate 11-1 Division of Reactor Projects - I/II Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
