A. Please provide the following information to Melvin S. Holmberg at the Region III NRC office located at 801 Warrenville Rd, Lisle IL 60532, no later than May 06, 2002. This information is needed to support the upcoming NRC Special Inspection (IP 93812) of the Davis Besse Nuclear Power Statio ) Drawings of proposed repairs associated with corrosion of the vessel head. This should include drawings showing the details of the weld construction used in the repai ) Drawings of proposed welding mockup to demonstrate weld repairs of the vessel head. This should include drawings showing the details of the weld construction used in the mocku ) Provide a list in sequence of the weld repair related processes and procedures to be used for each step of the vessel head repairs. Specifically identify the procedures to be used in weld surface preparation (including nondestructive testing), component fit-up, deposition of weld metal (butter layer, tack welds, root pass and filler) and number of layers of each type of weld meta ) Provide the same type of information requested in item 3 for construction of the weld mocku ) Provide a copy of the procedures to be used that are identified in steps 3 and 4 above. For the weld procedures also provide the supporting procedure qualification records and weld/base metal test records referenced in the qualification record (e.g. tensile tests, bend tests and impact tests).

6) Identify the weld acceptance criteria and applicable Code standards which will be applied to the vessel head repair weldin ) Provide the same type of information requested in item 6 for construction of the weld mocku ) Identify the specific acceptance Code/standards to be applied to the vessel head repairs and the procedures were these standards will be applied. Identify the post weld repair non-destructive testing to be applied and the procedures which implement these test ) Provide the same type of information requested in item 8 for construction of the weld mocku ) Provide a copy of the procedures identified in items 8 and 9 abov B. Information to be provided/made available for the inspector on-site (or at vendor facilities performing mockup welding):
