Dear Mr. Slade:
SUBJECT:
PALISADES NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - APPROVAL OF NUCLEAR CONSTRUCTION ISSUES GROUP VISUAL WELD ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR STRUCTURAL WELDING AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS Your letter dated November 5, 1990, submitted a proposed.revision to Palisades Nuclear Plant Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) requesting the use of the Nuclear Construction Issues Group Visual Weld Acceptance Criteria (VWAC) during the present steam generator replacement effort at Palisades.
The VWAC will be used only on uncoated structural weldmerits fabricated under the rules of the American Welding Society 01.l Structural Welding Code.
In a letter dated November 5, 1985, the NRC staff approved the use of VWAC for structural welding at nuclear power plants on a generic basis and mandated that the specific licensee wishing to use VWAC for its plant must revise its FSAR to shbw the use of this criteria.
The staff has reviewed the proposed FSAR changes describing the use of VWAC on uncoated weldments at Palisades and finds them acceptable. This action completes TAC No. 77951.
