July 11, 2002 Mr. Khushwant S. Grewal 114 Coopers Kill Road Deiran, NJ 08075-2008

Dear Mr. Grewal:

Your letter of April 4, 2002, to Mr. Samuel J. Collins, Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, concerning Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2 (NMP2), came to my attention. In your letter you raised concerns regarding a crack at weld KC-32 joining the high pressure core spray (HPCS) nozzle safe-end to the safe-end extension on the reactor pressure vessel. You had raised similar concerns of weld KC-32 in your previous letter dated March 16, 2000, to which we responded by a letter dated May 5, 2000.

As a result of your concerns, we requested the licensee to provide information by a letter dated June 5, 2002 (available in ADAMS, Accession No. ML021560298). We will evaluate the licensees response and inform you of the results of our evaluation. The NRC Project Manager, Mr. Peter Tam, will forward a copy of the licensees response together with our evaluation to you. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Peter Tam at 301-415-1451, e-mail pst@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Original signed and mailed Stuart A. Richards, Director /RA/
