Gentlemen:

j On September 26, 1989, TV Electric verbally notified.the NRC of a deficiency involving ASTM A500 tube steel.

This is an interim report submitted on a potentially reportable condition under the provisions of 100FR50.55(e).

Specifically, a " crack like" deficiency was identified on an instrument air l

support. This deficiency was observed on ASTM A500 tube steel on the inside

[

wall surf ace, parallel to and outside the heat affected zone of the weld.

>i Material of this same heat number has been used in the fabrication of safety-related pipe supports.

Further evaluation is required to establish the safety significance and assess the reportability of this issue.

Our next report will be submitted prior to f

fuel load for Unit 1.

t Sincerely,

?
