SUBJECT:

ASME CODE RELIEF REQUEST - HPCI PUMP STUD EXAMINATION Fe: Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2 By letter dated March 25, 1986, you requested relief from the inservice inspection requirement of the ASME Code Section XI, Table IWC-2500-1, for the volumetric examination of high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) pump studs at Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2 (BSEP 2). You stated that the examination was impractical to perform during the Reload 6 outage because volumetric examination of the studs from the top surface required removal of the stud cap nuts using special equipment not available on-site. Relief from Me code requirements was requested to permit performance of this examination during the next plant refueling outage scheduled to begin in January 1988.

Pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50.55a(g)(6)(i), we have evaluated the basis for the request and conclude that relief should not be granted since you were aware that stud cap nut retroval was necessary to perform the examination during the past refueling outage. Furthermore, there is adequate time available to perfore the examination during the extension of the inspection interval as permitted by Paragraph IVA-2000(c) of the ASME Code. Therefore, the required examination should be performed during this extended interval which ends July 2, 1987 for BSEP 2.

A copy of the related Safety Evaluation is enclosed.

Sincerely, n,;, n.: s:,,,.s .,
