REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 3 DOCKET NO. 50-423 REQUESTED CODE RELIEF
- 1. Please provide a description of the Millstone Power Station Unit No. 3 long-term service water brazed joint remediation plan.
- 2. In Section 6.2 of Attachment 1 of your letter dated September 23, 2004, you state that "A visual inspection was performed of the other three coolers, which included a total of 81 separate field joints, and no additional brazed joint leaks were identified."
Are all field joints the same as brazed joints? If not, how many are brazed joints?
- 3. What is the current leakage from each of the joints? When and how (e.g., by required pressure testing or system walkdown) was the leakage first identified? Has the leakage changed since it was first identified?
