SUBJECT:
SECOND 10-YEAR INTERVAL INSERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM PLAN REQUESTS FOR RELIEF FOR JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (TAC NO. MA2019) v
Dear Mr. Knubel:
By letter dated July 15,1997, as revised by letter dated May 19,1998, and supplemented by letter dated June 21,1999, The Power Authority of the State of New York (PASNY) submitted l
multiple requests for relief (A through W) from the requirements of the American Society of l
Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code),Section XI, for the second 10-year inservice inspection interval for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant.
j_
- By the letter dated June 21,1999, PASNY withdrew the requests for relief F, H through K, N, U, V and W. You requested relief A through D, G, O, O, R and T pursuant to 10 CFR
- 50.55a(g)(5)(iii) because complete Code examinations could not be performed due to restricted i-physical obstructions, restricted access caused by interference from permanent structures, i
j-dramatic thickness transitions on the outside and inside surfaces of the components, or design
- corifigurations which restricted access to the components. The NRC staff concludes that Code i
requirements are impractical and that your proposed alternatives provide reasonable assurance j
of structuralintegrity of the subject components. Therefore, relief is granted pursuant to j
10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i). The relief granted is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property, or the common defense and security and is otherwise in the public interest giving due i
consideration to the burden upon the licensee if the requirements were imposed on the facility.
The proposed attematives provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.
The request for relief E L, M, P and S is pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii). The staff 1
- concludes that compliance with the Code requirements would result in hardship without a
- compensating increase in the level of quality and safety and that the proposed alternatives provide reasonable assurance of structuralintegrity of the subject components. Therefore, your proposed alternatives are approved for the second 10-year interval pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii) and the relief is granted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i). The relief granted
~ is authorized by law and 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 the requirements were imposed on the facility. The proposed alternatives provide an
{'
acceptable level of quality and safety.

The staff's evaluation and conclusions are contained in the enclosed safety evaluation with attached Technical Letter Report.
