Gentlemen:

Subject:

Inspection 50-410/79-02

This refers to your letter dated

June

28, 1979, in response

to our letter

dated

June 18, 1979.

Thank you for informing us of the corrective

and preventive actions documented

in your letter. It is still our interpretation of ASME Section III and

Regulatory Guide 1.19 that the welds in question

should be inspected

by

radiography.

Based

on your letter of June 28, 1979, you are in agreement

)

with the requirement for radiographic

examination but question the ability to

obtain meaningful results using this method.

Review of the initial procedure qualification radiographs

taken July 12,

1979

confirms the ability to perform a meaningful volumetric examination of these

welds using radiography.

We will review the results of these

examinations

during a future inspection.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,

yZ/

R. T. Garison,

Chief

Reactor Construction

and

Engineering

Support Branch
