This report covers on a generic basis the weld materials utilized in vessel fabrication from 1966 through November, 1978, which is inclusive of the time the R. E. Ginna vessel was fabricated.
The results are that the Crystal River 3 atypical chemistry condition is an isolated event involving a small amount of mate-rial in one heat of wire.

The R. E. Ginna vessel was built under BGW Contract No. 610-0110 and purchased under Westinghouse Purchase Order No. 54-F-49758-BP.
