SUBJECT:
CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 - CLOSURE OF CONFIRMATORY ACTION LETTER NRR-07-016 (TAC NO. MD4145)
Dear Mr. Young:
On March 27, 2007, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) No. NRR-07-016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML070800327) regarding dissimilar metal welds in the pressurizer at Crystal River Unit 3. This letter acknowledges receipt of your letter dated January 24, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML080280064), informing the NRC of actions taken in response to this CAL.
In your letter, you stated that Crystal River Unit 3 satisfactorily completed structural weld overlays for all Alloy 600/82/182 pressurizer butt weld locations during Refueling Outage 15 in the fall of 2007. Further, you stated that ultrasonic examinations of the applied overlay and adjacent base material were accomplished utilizing personnel and procedures qualified in accordance with American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code Section XI, 1995 Edition including Addenda through 1996, Appendix VIII, Supplement 11, with alternatives used to comply with the Performance Demonstrative Initiative Program. These examinations obtained 100-percent coverage of both the preservice inspection and inservice inspection examination volumes for each weld and identified no reportable indications.
Based on your letter, the NRC has found that all the commitments listed in the CAL and supporting commitment letters dated January 29 and February 22, 2007 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML070320122 and ML070570118, respectively), have been met. No further response is required regarding the CAL. We consider the CAL closed. As such, it is no longer necessary to implement enhanced inspection and leakage monitoring requirements for the reactor coolant system. This action closes TAC No. MD4145.
Thank you for informing us of the actions documented in your letter. These actions may be examined during a future NRC inspection of your facility.
Current NRC guidance regarding CALs is contained in the NRC Enforcement Policy and the NRC Enforcement Manual, which are available at the NRC web site at http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/enforcement.html (click on Enforcement Policy or Enforcement Guidance) or by contacting the Government Printing Office (GPO) toll-free at 1-888-293-6498. The GPO is open from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday (except Federal holidays).
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and your response will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC=s document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html.
Sincerely,
/RA/
