The Nuclear Regulatory Commission had by letter dated July

B.2.5. Evaluation Updating to the requirements of later approved editions and addenda '
is permitted by 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4)(iv). Perfonning the examinations to the requirements of the earlier editions of the code would necessitate supplemental manual scans to obtain the required coverage. The manual scans would increase the radiation dosage accumulated by the inspectors without a compensating increase in the confidence of structural integrity of the examined joint. The later edition of the code rightfully recognized the extent of exposure without the compensating benefit and reoriented the required exam-ination volume to facilitate complete conformance by automated systems and to include those areas that by industry experience have the potential for crack initiation.
B.2.6. Conclusion Based on the above evaluation, it is concluded that for the welds discussed above, examinatisn to the requirements of the presently authorized Code is impractical due to the excessive radiation tc the inspectors without compensating benefit. It is further conc-cluded that the proposed alternate examination will provide reason-able assurance of structural reliability during this interval.
C.
SUMMARY
CONCLUSI0f, Based on its review of the inservice inspection relief requests, the staff concludes that relief granted from the Code examination and testing requirements and the proposed alternate methods of examination and testing give reasonable assurance of the piping and component pressure boundary and support structural integrity. The staff has dt:termined that the Code requirements are impractical and, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(c)(6)(i), the cranting of the requested relief is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property, or the cormion defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest considering the burden that could result if the require-ments were imposed on the facility.
