Dear br. Sherwood:
~
i inis is in reply to your letter to Mr. E. G. Case, " Interpretation of IU LR Su, Appendix G. Fracture Toughness Requirements" (Letter No.
no-bt-77, OctoDer 17, 1977).
It calls attention to paragraphs III.e.5.a., c., and c., wnich cover certi fication that the tests on materials of the reactor ccc. ant pressure bouncary cenply witn Apper.uix G, tna tne test equip.ent was properly calibrated, that test personnel
.e e : c.ccly quali'ieu.rc tn3: tne proper records were kept. Your
+
' :t c ;cils attent w tr si :iar requirer.ents in Section III of the
. t niier ano Pressere.essel Coce ano asks idC concurrence with
- r.osition that cc.,1 r a with tre Coce will be regarced as compliance w i tt t e regulation.
e;iy, I wfsn to make two points. First, we agre
.at for those tes*: e.:uirec Dy the Code, which are the cnly tests :cnsicered in ycu
- ct
- er, tne prcvisions of paragraphs III.B.S.a.,
c.,
anc c., will be cet :mtisf actorily if the Coce requirements are r.e t.
acond, the inter. : f :aragraph III.B.5 is to require that the cali:; ration, qualificati'.r., anc rccced retention functions for any s.;;.le ental tracture ::;:t ess tests be cone in a manner equivalent to the aay tncse functt
- c e c;,re for tests requirea by tne Coce.
The :ntent may not o. clear. ;;ecause paragraph III.S. refers only to Cn:rpj V-notch im;;ct te' c.s ar c dropaeight tests. This a.rbiguity anc tt record retenticr. reuire.xnts will be claritied in a general revisicn of Appendix G u.at is now being craf ted.
