50-348 SOUTHERN A COMPANY Energy to Serve Your WorldSu NL-06-1186 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555-0001 Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant - Unit 1 Results of Inspection per NRC Bulletin 2004-0 1 of Allov 8211 821600 Pressurizer Penetrations and Steam Space Piping; Connections By letters sent July 26, 2004 and October 21, 2004, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) responded to Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Bulletin 2004-0 1, "Inspection of Alloy 8211 821600 Materials used in the Fabrication of Pressurizer Penetrations and Steam Space Piping Connections at Pressurized-Water Reactors."
During the spring 2006 refueling outage at Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) Unit 1, the pressurizer penetrations and steam space piping connections were inspected as described in the SNC letters responding to Bulletin 2004-01 item (l)(c). This letter is to report the results of that inspection, in accordance with request (2)(a) of the Bulletin.
Five Alloy 8211821600 locations within the scope of Bulletin 2004-01 are associated with the FNP Unit 1 pressurizer. These are the butter and full penetration butt welds connecting the stainless steel safe ends at one 4" spray nozzle and at four 6" safetylrelief nozzles. Insulation was removed from these five steam space nozzles and a bare metal visual (BMV) inspection was performed (and photographs taken) of each of the dissimilar metal welds and the surrounding base metal. The examined surfaces and pressurizer shell were clean and free of all signs of leakage; hence, no followup examinations or evaluations were required.
