SUBJECT:
RESPONSE TO NRC IE BULLETIN N0. 78-12,78-12A AND 78-12B
Reference:
Letter G-EP1-9-53, E. R. Egger to J. D. Leonard, dated 5/3/79
Dear Mr. Leonard:
In compliance with subject bulletin, General Electric NEBG requested Combustion Engineering, Inc. (C-E) to conduct a records investigation 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 iden-I tify any other atypical weld deposit similar to the.one described in Bulletin-L 78-12.
In response to our request, C-E has prepared a report and submitted it to the NRC on June 8,1979 as -evidenced by the attached copy of the transmittal letter.
The attached certification dated June 8,1979 has also been received.
We have reviewed C-E's report to the NRC and have not found any discrepancies germane to the problem described in Bulletin 78-12.
Based on our review and C-E's statement in the report that no evidence of the use of atypical weld material in pressure vessels manufactured by them was discovered, we conclude that it is very unlikely that other similar conditions (i.e., atypical weld deposits) exist in any of their reactor pressure vessel welds.
C-E 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).
J s
l We recommend 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.
