ISSUE SHEET FOR DRAFT GENERIC LETTEk ON ASME CODE REPLACEMENTS The staff has requested CRGR review of a draft generic letter which provides guidance to licensees on what is acceptable to the staff when replacement components cannot be'obtained which meet the requirements of the ASME Code,Section III.
The primary difference is that products can be used which do not carry an "N stamp." Since many vendors have let their certification expire which permits them to so stamp their products, licensees have experienced difficulty obtaining replacements.
In several cases, product lines have been sold to other vendors who do not have certificates.
The letter states that the same standards as specified in ASME Section III must'be met, but need not carry an N-symbol stamp.
In discussions with Bob Kirkwood, I learned that this letter will reduce the burden on the NRC of pro.essing exemption requests as is currently done.
At the time of our conversation, the staff had not obtained OGC concurrence although OGC had provided comments.
The staff stated that the letter has been coordinated with NRR.
