Walnut Creek, California 94596 Docket No. 50-460 Construction Permit No. CPPR-134 J.
j NOTICE OF DEVIATION Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during the period of March 1-31, 1980, it appears that one of your activities was not conducted in full conformance with your commitments to the Commission as indicated below:
Contrary to the licensee's commitment in paragraph 5.2.3.1 and Table 5.2-5 of the PSAR that weld material specification SFA-5.5 would govern the special E-7018 welding electrodes used for reactor coolant pressure boundary welds, welding electrodes qualified under specification SFA-5.1 rather than SFA-5.5 were used for welding the pipe-to-steam generator reactor coolant pressure boundary welds.
1 SUPPLY SYSTEM RESPONSE TO THE DEVIATION i
Engineering evaluations have determined that the use of this type of electrode is acceptable for pipe to component welds as long as ASME III requirements are met.
The Engineering evaluation was completed April 22, 1980.
1 A Deviation (No. 5.2-1 (WP)) has been filed to the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report permitting the use of welding electrodes qualified under specification SFA-5.1.
The deviation was approved May 9,1980.
