Subject:

Response to NRC IE Bulletin No. 78-12,78-12A and 78-12B

Reference:

Reactor Pressure Vessel: Zimmer I Gentlemen:

In compliance with subject bulletin, General Electric NEBG requested Chicago Bridge and Iron Company (CB&I) to conduct a records investi-gation of low alloy, high tensile weld deposits used in all reactor pressure vessels built in their, or their supplier's, facilities.

The purpose of this investigation was to identify any other atypical weld deposit similar to the one described in Bulletin 78-12.

In response to our request, CB&I has preparea a report and submitted it tc the NRC.

The report contains the attached certification dated 4/24/79.

We have reviewed CB&I's report to the NRC and have not found any dis-crepancies.

Consequently, we concur with their certification and con-clude that it is very unlikely that other, similar conditions (i.e.

atypical weld deposits) exist in any reactor pressure vessel welds.

CB&I states in the body of their report that they do not have any archive material, which could be used for verification purposes.

Consequently, we are requesting you to review your inventory and advise the NRC accordingly (Bulletin 78-12, Item 4).

We reconmend that you use this letter and the attached certification to satisfy the NRC request for verification of the generic search as outlined in IE Bulletin 78-12, Item 2.
