RR-5 (Cont'd)
BASIS.STATEMENT ASME B&PV Code,Section XI 1977 Edition with addenda thorugh Summer 1978, paragraph IWA-2232(b) requires the utilization of Appendix III,Section XI for ultrasonic examinations of piping. Appendix III, paragraph III-llOO(d) permits the utilization of alternative exam-ination techniques and calibration block design in accordance with IWA-2240 (Alternative Examinations). c'onsumers Power Company elects to utilize hole type reflectors. in lieu of notch type reflectors required by paragraph III-3430 for ultrasonic examinations performed on piping thicker than 0.400". In order to effect the change in reflector type,* consumers Power Company elects, per IWA-2232, to conduct ultrasonic examinations of piping welds in accordance with Article 5,Section V, ASME Codes. The requirements of Article 5, Section will be modified by the attached code applicability statements.
DISCUSSION
- Utilization of hole type reflectors for material thicker than 0.400" in lieu of notch type reflectors will increase the sensitivity of the examination by a factor of two (2) over the standard 45° angle beam examination. Consumers Power Company will implement the two
.code applicability statement attached in order to affect this change in reflectors. The code applicability statements will enhance procedure and calibration control, and. control of calibration block procurement/fabrication.
IMPLEMENTATION & RELIEF REQUESTS It is requested that relief be granted from the provisions of IWA-2232 with respect to calibration block design and calibration procedures and that the provisions of the two (2) codes applicability statements be substituted in lieu thereof.
RR-6 Item B9.ll, B9.12 (Pressure Retaining Piping)
BASIS STATEMENT Welds PCS-42-RCL-1Hl-2LD, 3LU, 3, 3LD and PCS-42-RCL-2Hl-2LD, 3LU, 3, 3LD are located inside the cement reactor shield and are inaccessible for UT.
REMARKS The area between the last known weld (at the elbow entrance to the steam generator) and the reactor shield was visually examined; no welds were apparent in this region. Therefore, it is concluded that the welds are buried inside the reactor shield.
The application of IWB-2430 at the Palisades Plant for the above listed welds will be as follows:
RR-6 (Cont'd)
The application of IWB-2430 will be in accordance with the information submitted in CPCo letter to D 1 Ziemann, dated March 6, 1979, Attachment 2, Supplemental Information on Code Update and Code Implementation. It should be noted that the application of IWB-2430 at the Palisades Plant is a two-step process; ie, the first application of IWB-2430 generally adds the same number' of welds (same Section XI Item Number) on the component/line of interest as was originally scheduled. The second application of IWB~2430 (required by the detection of a defect in the examinations added pursuant to finding the original defect) results in the remainder of the line/component(with the same Section XI Item Number) being examined.
CPCo will implement IWB-2430 on these inaccessible welds only after the first set.of additional examinations has revealed defects.
IMPLEMENTATION & RELIEF REQUESTED The welds identified above shall be visually inspected by observing the general area after a four-hour hold at the pressure test requirements stated in Section VI, IWA/IWB-5000. This exemption does not apply in the event that Paragraph IWB-2430 of Section XI is applicable.

REMARKS Basis statement applicable to the following welds:
ESS-24-SIS-SHl-201, 202, 203, 204 ESS-24-SIS-SH2-201, 202, 203, 204 The application of IWC-2430 at the Palisades Plant for the above listed welds will be as follows:
The application of IWC-2430 will be in accordance with the information submitted in CPCo letter to D 1 Ziemann, dated March 6, 1979, Attachment 2, Supplemental Information on Code Update*and Code Implementation. It should be noted that the application of IWC-2430 at the Palisades Plant is a two-step process; ie, the first application of IWC-2430 generally adds.the same number of welds (same Section XI Item Number) on the component/line of interest as was originally scheduled. The second application of IWC-2430 (required by the detection of a defect in the examinations added p~suant to finding the original defect) results in the remainder of the line/component (with the same Section XI Item Number) being examined.
CPCo will implement IWC-2430 on these inaccessible welds only after the
- fir.st set of additional examinations has revealed defects.
IMPLEMENTATION & RELIEF REQUESTED All welds identified shall be examined visually for evidence of leakage by observing the general area after the four-hour hold at the pressure test requirements as stated in IWC-5000. This exemption does not apply in the event that Paragraph IWC-2430 of Section XI is applicable.

Appendix III with Supplement Ferritic piping and 7 of ASME Section XI with dissimilar metal addenda through Summer 1978 welds II. The following modifications.of the requirements of Article 5 Section V, and Appendix III,Section XI, 77S78 addenda are applicable.
A. The following code cases shall be utilized.
- 1) Code Case N-211 Recalibration of Ultrasonic Equipment upon Change of Personnel
- 2) Code Case N-234 Time Between Ultrasonic Calibration ChecksSection XI Division 1
- 3) Code Case N-235 Ultrasonic Calibration Checks per Section V,Section XI, Division 1 B. For examinations conducted in accordance with Article 5 of ASME Section V, the basic calibration block for production material thickness 1.0" or less shall be as follows: The basic calibration block shall have the same nominal thickness as the production material or no more than 25% less than the nominal production material thickness or closer in thickness to the production material than the 3/4-inch alternate thickness allowed by Article 5. This modification will assure a more accurate calibration than the basic calibration block design allowed by the code.
C. Subparagraph T-535.l(d) (1) and (2) of Article 5 requires that transfer (attenuation compensation) be accomplished between the production material and the basi.c calibration block and a correction niade for the difference.
In accordance with Code Interpretation V-78-01 and Code Case 1698 (N-92),
the transfer method will not be used. Attenuation measurements will be recorded and considered during analysis and evaluation of indications, however no attempt will be made by the examiner to compensate for any observed difference before or du~ing the Ultrasonic Examination.
