Dear Sirs:

Inservice Inspection Relief Requests First Ten-Year Interval Under the provisions of Title 10, Chaptor I of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, Section 55a, Paragraph g [10 CFR 50.55a(g)],

exceptions to examination and test requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code may be taken when the examination or test requirements are determined to be impractical. Several necessary exceptions to ASME Section XI (1974 Edition and Addenda through Summer 1975) requirements for hydrostatic testing were identified near the end of our first ten-year inservice inspection (ISI) interval, but relief requests were not submitted prior to the end of the interval. Due to a misinterpretation of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iv), we believed an additional 12 months was provided in which we could submit the requests. Prior to submitting them, yet aircady past the first ten-year interval, it was recognized that 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iv) applies to the succeeding vice preceding inspection interval.

Copies of the relief requests that were not submitted are attached, showing the bases for our determination that the alternative examinations which were performed provide adequate, practical assurance of the integrity of the affected components.

Furthermore, the correct Aw1 1

(a) Boron injection tank T-207, discharge piping to the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) loops cold-legs (3-inch SI-2501R-3), and the test connection piping (3/4-inch SI-2501R-23 and 1-inch SI-2501R-3) from motor-operated valves MO-8801A and MO-8801B, and air-operated valve CV-8843 and manual valve 8925 to check valve 8815.

(b) Safety injection pumps (SIP), P-203A and P-203B, discharge to the RCS loops hot-legs (2-inch and 4-inch SI-2501R-1), and the test connection piping (3/4-inch SI-2501R-22 and 1-inch SI-2501R-23) from motor-operated valves MO-8802A and MO-8802B to check valves 8905A, 8905B, 8905C, 8905D, and air-operated valves CV-8824 and CV-8881.

(c) SIP discharge to.the RCS loops cold-legs (2-inch and 4-inch SI-2501R-1), and the test connection piping (3/4-inch SI-2501R-1) from motor-operated valve MO-8835 to check valves 8819A, 8819B, 8819C, 8819D and test connection valve CV-8823.

ASME Code Class:

All affected piping is ASME Section XI, Class 2.

ASME XI Examination Requirements:

Article IWC-5000 requires that the system hydrostatic test pressure shall be 1.25 times the system design pressure.

The test pressure may be reduced where the testing must be conducted at temperatures above 100*F.

The test pressure requirement for the system is 1.25 times the design pressure of the Class 2 portions of the Safety Injection System adjacent to the RCS (3107 psig).

Basis for Relief:

Pressurizing these lines to the hydrostatic test pressure required by IWC-5000 would require pressurizing the RCS in excess of that required by IWB-5000 due to the flow direction of the check valve from the Class 2 system to the Class 1 system. Pressurizing the RCS to the Class 2 pressure requirements is I

undesirable because of the limitations on the hydrostatic test pressure and l

the number of hydrostatic test cycles incorporated into the design of the l

system components.

1 Alternative Examination:

These lines were pressurized and visually examined during the adjacent Class 1 RCS hydrostatic test which was conducted at 2280 psig pressure and greater than 500*F temperature il.02 times the system nominal operating pressure).

ASME Code Class:

_All affected piping is ASME Section XI, Class 2.

ASME XI Examination Requirements:

Article IWC-5000 requires that the system hydrostatic test pressure shall be at least 1.25 times the system design pressure.

The test pressure may be reduced where testing must be conducted at temperatures above 100*F.

Basis for Relief:

Check valves are oriented to flow into or from adjacent Class 2 systems, Class 3 systems or non~ASME Section XI piping. This prevents the isolation of the applicable sections of the Class 2 lines from the adjacent lines.
