SUBJECT:
INSPECTION
REPORT
NO. 50-387/95-09
Dear Nr. Byram:
This letter refers to the announced
safety inspection,
conducted
by
Nr.
P. Patnaik of this office at the Susquehanna
Steam Electric Station,
Unit 1, Berwick, Pennsylvania,
during the period of April 3-7,
1995.
The
results of this inspection
were discussed
with members of your staff at the
conclusion of the inspection
on April 7,
1995.
The inspection
focused primarily on the inservice inspection
program
implemented during the outage,
ultrasonic examination activity on the core
shroud welds,
and
a review of the results of the mechanical
stress
improvement
process
performed
on selected
There were other areas
also covered
during the inspection
as described
in the attached report.
The inspector
found that your inservice inspection
program for the outage
complied with the applicable
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers
(ASNE)
Code,
Section XI, and the implementation of the program
was satisfactory.
There were
no discrepancies
noted in the conduct of examinations
performed
on
the welds of the core shroud,
and the results of mechanical
stress
improvement
were acceptable
in accordance
with your engineering specification.
The inspector
noted that you are implementing
two ASNE Code cases,
N-509 and
N-423, before they have
been reviewed for acceptability
and listed in
Regulatory
Guide 1. 147.
If the
NRC staff finds the
Code cases
to be
unacceptable
or conditionally acceptable, it would be necessary
for you to
retroactively correct your program.
In the case of N-524, the examination
could
be costly if retroactively
implemented after
a long delay.
Within the scope of this inspection,
no violations were observed.
No response
to this letter is needed.
Your cooperation with us in this matter is
appreciated.
Sincerely,
po
