SUBJECT:
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT - APPROVAL OF RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER 8 (RR-8) 0F THE THIRD 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM (TAC NO. M96255)
Dear Mr. Anderson:
The staff, with technical assistance from its contractor. the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) has reviewed and evaluated the information provided by the Northern States Power Company (NSP) in its
~,
letter dated March 14. 1996, related to the first 10-year interval inservice inspection arogrum plan request for relief No. 8 for Monticello Nuclear Generating 'lant. NSP provided additional information in its letters dated January 22 and April 29, 1997. The staff has determined, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(11), that imposing the requirments at issue would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.
Therefore. NSP's alternative to use existing ultrasonic calibration blocks is acceptable, as documented in the enclosed safety evaluation.
Please contact T. J. Kim of my staff at (301) 4151392 if you have any questions regarding this staff action.
Sincerely.
ORIGINAL SIGNED BY Beth Wetzel John N. Hannon. Director Project Directorate 111-1 Division of Reactor Projects - Ill/IV' Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
