Dear Mr. Mroczka:

SUBJECT:

EXEMPTION FROM CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS OF 10 CFR PART 50, l APPENDIX J J Re: Hadcam Neck Plant i l The Cor; mission has issued the enclosed exemptions from the requ wents of .

l 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, in response to your requests dated March 12, and I July 15, 1986. This action grants a permanent exemption for reverse direction I testing of the auxiliary containment spray penetration. Type C testing of the steam generator blowdown and auxiliary feedwater penetrations were determined to be outside the . scope of Appendix J and, therefore, no Type C testing is q required for these penetrations.

In addition, the Connission has granted exemptions for temporary relief from: (1) the Type C testing requirements of Appendix J for the reactor coolant charging sys?.em, containment sump to residual heat removal system and the high pressure safety injection system penetrations; (2) to permit reverse direction testing of the refueling cavity purification, pressurizer relief drain and the reactor coolant pump seal water return penetrations; (3) to permit water versus air testing of 20 additional containment pene- .

trations; and (4) to permit high pressure testing for the raactor coolant I system (RCS) sampling, neutron shield fill and RCS loop fill penetrations.

The NRC has concluded, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.12, that the granting of ,

the permanent exemption is justified because compliance is not necessary to l achieve the underlying purpose of the rule and the granting of the exemptions 0090017 870929 l p ADOCK 05000213 PDR

j o Mr. E. J. Mroczka September 29, 1987 j for temporary relief are justified because you are making a good faith effort to l comply with the rule. The enclosed exemption is being forwarded to the Office  !
