Dear Mr. Grier:

MAIN STEAM PIPE SPOOLS 10CFR50. 5 5 (e) , " POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY" NO. 1 UNIT HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION On December 21, 1979, a verbal report was made to Region 1, Office of Inspection and Enforcement representative, Mr. R.

McGaughy, advising of a potential significant item. The referred item was an apparent minimum wall thickness discrepancy found on a main steam pipe spool supplied by General Electric. Supple-mental information was issued to your office on January 31, 1980 and March 3, 1980.

~

The fo11owing addresses the question of reportability in accordance with 10CFR50. 55 (e) . A review conducted by General Electric Company and verified by Bechtel Power Corporation has determined that the area of pipe in question has a thickness greater than that required by the applicable ASME Piping Code. As such, we consider the piping adequate for the intended service. We withdraw this item as not reportable under 10CFR50.55 (e) and therefore consider this. matter closed.

Should additional information be. desired, we will be pleased to further discuss it with you.

Very truly yours, ff NS P.l CC: Office of Inspection and Enforcement  ;

Div. of Reactor Construction Inspection i Washington, D. C.
