By letter dated March 26, 2012, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12086A293), Entergy Operations Inc. (Entergy, the licensee) submitted a code alternative relief request for the Arkansas Nuclear One - Unit 2 (ANO-2). The request, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i), was for the NRC approval of the relief from the requirements of the ASME, Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI pertaining to volumetric and surface examinations at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2), at locations where the required coverage cannot be obtained due to interference or geometry. These reliefs were for the third 10-year Inservice Inspection (ISI) interval.
