Entergy plans to replace the Waterford 3 steam generators (SGs) during the 17th refueling outage. The removal of a welded construction hatch in the SCV will be required for providing access for the original and replacement SGs in and out of containment. Entergy would be required to perform a containment integrated leak rate test (ILRT) in accordance with IWE-5221, "Leakage Test," of ASME Section XI and 1 OCFR50, Appendix J prior to reentry into Mode 4.

Post Repair Testing of the SCV Opening (ME3345)

Bob/Mike:

By letter dated February 9, 2010, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) submitted a Request Alternative to ASME IWE-5521 Regarding Post Repair Testing of Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3) Steel Containment Vessel (SCV) Opening.

Entergy plans to replace the Waterford 3 steam generators (SGs) during the 17th refueling outage. The removal of a welded construction hatch in the SCV will be required for providing access for the original and replacement SGs in and out of containment. Entergy would be required to perform a containment integrated leak rate test (ILRT) in accordance with IWE-5221, "Leakage Test," of ASME Section XI and 1 OCFR50, Appendix J prior to reentry into Mode 4.

However, the performance of a localized leakage test provides a more appropriate leak test than an ILRT for the limited repair area. Therefore, Entergy is " requesting relief from the ASME Section Xl, IWE-5221 requirements to perform a localized pressure test for the associated repair of the Waterford 3 SCV.
