SUBJECT:
SEABROOK STATION UNIT 1 - CLOSURE OF CONFIRMATORY ACTION LETTER NRR-07-001
Dear Mr. St. Pierre:
On March 12, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) No. NRR-07-001 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML070610585) regarding dissimilar metal welds in the pressurizer at Seabrook Station Unit 1. This letter acknowledges receipt of your letter dated June 18, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML082261410), informing the NRC of actions taken in response to this CAL.
In your letter, you stated that all actions and commitments of CAL NRR-07-001 have been completed at Seabrook Station Unit 1. These included full weld structural overlays of the pressurizer butt welds (surge, safety, relief and spray nozzles) and their subsequent satisfactory non-destructive examinations.
Based on your letter, the NRC has found that all the commitments listed in the CAL and supporting commitment letter (ADAMS Accession No. ML070530548) 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. Technical Assignment Control (TAC) No. MD7288 has been closed.
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).
G. St. Pierre In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter 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/
