In response to the Reference 1 request, GPU Nuclear commits to continue taking UT drywell measurements at refueling outages and at other outages of opportunity.

The measurements will be at areas previously inspected. and also at other accessible areas not previously inspected.

Drywell thickness measurements will continue for the life of the plant.

The following is our current plan for Oyster Creek drywell UT thickness measurements.

(1)

During the 14R outage, GPU Nuclear will take UT thickness measurements in the drywell sandbed region, from the torus room side (outside the drywell), at shell locations not readily accessible from inside the drywell.

These are areas not previously inspected.

The specific locations selected for inspection will be identified once we have direct.

access to the sandbed region.

Assuming that these measurements confirm that we have bounded the corrosion problem with our current inspection locations, we currently do not plan to make repeat measurements at these specific locations.

Now through the 15R outage, GPU Nuclear will continue taking UT thickne:s measurements in accordance with the priority method described in PRference 2, Attachment 1, "GPUN Specification IS-328227-004, FunLtional Requirements for Drywell Containment Vessel Thickness Examination".

(3)

After the 15R outage, GPU Nuclear will assess the condition of the drywell by evaluating the then current UT thickness measurements and

  • will formulate an extended inspection plan.

The plan will identify measurement locations including frequency of inspection for the remaining life of the plant.

If you have any questions or comments on this submittal or the overall drywell corrosion program, please contact Mr. Michael Laggart, Manager, Corporate Nuclear Licensing at (201) 316-7968.

Very truly yours, J. C DeVine, Jr.
