Dear Mr. Tucker:

SUBJECT:

RELIEF FROM ASME CODE SECTION XI REQUIREi1ENT FOR THE NUCLEAR SERVICE l WATER SYSTEM, MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 2, RELIEF REQUEST NO.

88-02 (TAC-68050)

By letter dated April 27, 1988, you submitted Relief Request No. 88-02 which requested relief from the ASME Boiler and Pressure Yessel Code Section XI requirement for hydrostatic testing of repair welds associated with valves 2RN134 and 2RN235 in the Nuclear Service Water System at the McGuire Nuclear Station, Unit 2. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), you had determined that the test requirement of Section XI, 1980 Edition, Winter 1980 Addenda, Articles IWA-4400 and IWA-5000, was impractical to perform because the repaired piping containing the subject welds could not be, isolated for pressurization. The pump capacity to pressurize the piping is insufficient to offset the leakage through the butterfly valves used to isolate the welded section. The Nuclear Service Water System contains butterfly type valves ranging in size from 18-inch to 36-inch end operates at a design pressure and temperature of 135 .

psig and 95 F, respectively. '

The integrity of the weld repair will be assured by performing alternative inspections, namely, either a dye penetrant (PT) or magnetic particle (MT) l inspection of both the root and final weld passes. In addition, an inservice l leek test at system pressure and temperature will be performed to detect eeld  !

defects and through wall leakage when the system is placed in service, j The staff has evaluated Relief Request No. 88-02. We conclude that the ASME l Code Section XI test reouirement is impractical to perform at the McGuire ,

Nuclear Station, Unit 2, and that the alternatives described above provide an  !

ecceptable revel of structural integrity for the Nuclear Service Water System.
