- 1) In Section II, Examination Requirements, provide the specific systems and functions for each of the components listed in the table.
- 2) Describe the system you will use to perform the visual examination, include a description of the magnification and resolution capability of the proposed system, and discuss how the examination will be performed (direct, remote, enhanced, etc...). This discussion should include the criteria that will be applied to assure an equivalent resolution to ultrasonic testing.
- 3) Provide a comparison of the benefits of your proposed examination method to that of the American Society of Mechanical EngineersSection XI code required examination, including equivalency of inspection surface coverage.
- 4) Describe the acceptance criteria that would be used for crack-like surface flaws.
- 5) Provide a table describing to what extent these nozzles have been previously examined, include nozzle size, date of prior examination, percent coverage achieved, and type of nondestructive examination conducted. Include a discussion of the results and the percentage coverage achieved.
- 6) Provide the specific dates for the current inservice inspection intervals for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.
- 7) Discuss whether significant thermal cycling during operation has been experienced by the subject components at either unit.
- 8) Discuss how you came to the conclusion that 100 percent of the surface area will be examined and provide sketches and/or other documentation that supports your conclusion.
