Enclosure to CNRO2021-00014 Page 1 of 2 Request to Use Provision of a Later Edition of the ASME Code,Section XI In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and standards," paragraph (g)(4)(iv), and the guidance provided in Reference 1, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) requests U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval to use a specific provision in a later edition of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (Code),
Section XI, for Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2 (ANO-1 and ANO-2), Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (GGNS), River Bend Station, Unit 1 (RBS), and Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford). Specifically, Entergy requests approval to use IWA-5120 of the 2017 Edition of the ASME Code,Section XI, for periodic system pressure tests exemptions.
I. COMPONENT(S) AFFECTED All Class 1, 2, and 3 items located in the ASME Code Section XI boundaries subject to periodic system pressure tests.
II. APPLICABLE CODE EDITIONS AND ADDENDA Unit Interval Start End ANO-1 Fifth May 31, 2017 May 30, 2027 ANO-2 Fifth March 26, 2020 March 25, 2030 GGNS Fourth December 1, 2017 November 30, 2026 RBS Fourth December 1, 2017 November 30, 2027 Waterford Fourth December 1, 2017 November 30, 2027 The Code of Record for all units Inservice Inspection (ISI) programs is ASME Section XI, 2007 Edition through 2008 Addenda.

This subparagraph states Piping that penetrates a containment vessel is exempt from the periodic system pressure test when the piping and isolation valves perform a containment function and the balance of the piping system is outside the scope of this Division.
Enclosure to CNRO2021-00014 Page 2 of 2 Subparagraph IWA-5110(c) in the 2007 Edition of ASME Code,Section XI was relocated to the new paragraph IWA-5120 in the 2017 Edition. However, paragraph IWA-5120 also exempts additional systems and components from the periodic pressure test requirement.
IV. RELATED REQUIREMENTS 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4)(iv) states:
Inservice examination of components and system pressure tests may meet the requirements set forth in subsequent editions and addenda that are incorporated by reference in paragraph (a) of this section, subject to the conditions listed in paragraph (b) of this section, and subject to Commission approval.
