UNITED STATES NUCLEA,R REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON. D.C. 20555 Docket No. 50-272 Mr. Steven E. Miltenberger Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Public Service Electric and Gas Company Post Office Box 236 Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey 08038
Dear Mr. Miltenberger:
March 11, 1991
SUBJECT:
FIRST TEN-YEAR INSPECTION INTERVAL, INS ERV ICE INSPECTION PROGRAM RELIEF REQUEST, SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT 1 (TAC NOS. 66013 AND 71101)
By letters dated July 17, 1987, June 6, 1988, and November 28, 1988, Public Service Electric and Gas Company (licensee) submitted to the NRC requests for relief from the requirements of Section XI of the ASME Code* (1974 Edition through Summer 1975 Addenda) for the First Ten-Year Interval Inservice Inspection Program Plan for the Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1.
- The Materials and Chemical Engineering Branch, Division of Engineering Technology, has reviewed and evaluated the requests for relief from some Section XI requirements that the licensee determined to be impractical to perform at the facility.
We have determined that these requirements of Section XI are impractical to perform at the facility and we have granted, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i), the relief requested and authorized alternatives proposed where the necessary findings could be made. This relief is authorized by law and will not endanger life or 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 were imposed on the facility.
An evaluation of the reliefs and the bases*for granting the requests are contained in the enclosed Safety Evaluation (SE). It should be noted that the second Ten-Year Inservice Inspection Interval and associated requests for relief were approved in a letter dated April 17, 1990. This current approval of relief for the First Ten-Year Interval is for record purposes only in that the second Ten-Year Interval is the one in use.
Mr. Steven March 11, 1991 We conclude that the relief from the ASME Code,Section XI (1974),
requirements that were impractical to perform and as evaluated in the enclosed SE is granted. Granting this relief will not significantly reduce the assurance of the plant's structural integrity or safety.
