SUBJECT:
CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 2 - EVALUATION OF REllEF REQUEST !
NO. 97 03 FOR THE SECOND TEN. YEAR INTERVAL INSERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM (TAC NO. M99359)
Dear Mr. Peterson:
By letter dated July 29,1997, Duke Energy Corporation (DEC) requested the NRC staff to approve a proposed alternative to the inspection coverage specified by Section XI of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boller and Pressure Vessel Code.
The staff, with technical assistance from its contractor, the Idaho National Engineering and ;
Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), evaluated DEC's submittal and concluded that certain i
inservice examinati. s cannot be performed to the extent required by the Code at Catawba Nuclear Station, Unit 2. In Request for Relief No. 97 03, Parts 1 and 2, DEC has provided information to support the determination that the Code volumetric examination coverage requirements are impractical. The staff also concluded that the examinations that have been performed provide reasonable assurance of component structuralintegrity of the subject component. Therefore, relief is granted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55(g)(6)(i). The relief granted is authorized by law, will not endanger life, property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest giving due consideration to the burden upon the licensee that could result if the requirements are imposed on the facility.
