SUBJECT:
VIRGIL C. SUMMER - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING RELIEF REQUESTS RR II-09 AND RR II-10 (TAC NO. MC5750)

The staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified a need for additional information (RAI) as discussed below.
Regarding RR II-9, please provide clarification whether the examinations were performed using procedures and personnel that were qualified in accordance with Appendix VIII of the ASME Code. Address whether the coverage achieved was obtained using qualified procedures in accordance with Appendix VIII and whether the coverage achieved was obtained using your best efforts to obtain the coverage required by the Code. Were any recordable indications detected? Provide a discussion on the impracticality of using radiograph testing to examine the subject welds.
Regarding RR-10, please clarify whether the examinations were performed using Section XI, Appendix III, or another subsection or article of the ASME Code to qualify the procedures and personnel. Were any recordable indications detected?
This RAI was discussed with Mr. Robert Sweet, and others on your staff, on May 5, 2005.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
/RA/
