SUBJECT:

Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Docket No. 50-346, License No. NPF-3 Summary of Design and Analysis of Weld Overlays (Mode 4 Report) - Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (TAC Nos. ME0477 and ME0478)

By correspondence dated January 30, 2009 (Accession No. ML090350070); with supplements dated July 13, 2009 (Accession No. ML091950627); November 23, 2009 (Accession No. ML093360333); and electronic mail dated December 15, 2009 (Accession No. ML100040016); FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) requested alternatives to requirements associated with reactor vessel nozzle, reactor coolant pump nozzle, and reactor coolant piping weld repairs for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station.

By correspondence dated January 21, 2010 (Accession No. ML100080573), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff approved 10 CFR 50.55a Request RR-A33 for the full structural weld overlay alternative. By correspondence dated January 29, 2010 (Accession No. ML100271531), NRC staff approved 10 CFR 50.55a Request RR-A32 for the optimized weld overlay alternative.

The January 30, 2009 correspondence contained commitments to submit, prior to entry into Mode 4, summaries 'of:

  • the residual stress profile in the nozzles,
  • that the application of the weld overlays does not impact the conclusions of the existing nozzle stress reports.

The Enclosure contains the aforementioned summaries.

Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Letter L-1 0-133 Page 2 of 2 There are no new regulatory commitments contained in this submittal. If there are any questions or additional information is required, please contact Mr. Thomas A. Lentz, Manager- Fleet Licensing, at (330) 761-6071.

Sincerely, Barry S. Allen
