MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION Supplemental Response to IE Inspection Report No. 50-370/80-01

RESPONSE

An audit has been conducted which included inspection of a sample of flanges-and fittings in the following areas on McGuire Unit 2.

(a) Socket weld flanges using greater than schedule 40 pipe for weld size.

(b) Socket weld flanges using less than schedule 40 pipe for weld size.

(c) Socket weld fittings using greater than schedule 40 pipe for weld size.

In regard to Item (a), a complete reinspection was made of socket weld flanges using greater than schedule 40 pipe.

One hundred and eleven welds were inspected with forty-three rejects. Under Item (b) one hundred welds selected at random were examined. Four of these welds were rejected.

One weld was.187 inches below the minimum requirements.

The other three welds had spots ranging from

.013 inches to.016 inches below the minimum requirements. The audit of Item (c) included one hundred welds selected at random. Three of these welds were reported as below the minimum requirements. Upon reinspection, one of the welds was found to be acceptable, the other two had spots which were.031 inches and.125 inches below the minimum requirements.

Based on these results, we have concluded that additional sampling and inspection of welds is not warranted on McGuire Unit 2.

All of the rejected welds have been documented on nonconforming item reports and will be repaired. These repairs will be scheduled based on individual system availability.

Socket welds are aise being reviewed for similar concerns on McGuire Unit 1.
