November 17, 1989 Dockd Nos. 50-348 50-364 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention:
Document Control Desk Vashington, D.-C.
20555 centlement Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant - Units 1 & 2 NRC Compliance'Bulletin 89-01, Item 2e Item 2e of NRC Compliance Bulletin 89-01 directed that samples of each heat of Westinghouse mechanical plugs removed from steam generators be examined for primary water stress corrosion cracking (PVSCC). This letter is to confirm the telephone conversation between Mr. Emmett Murphy of the NRC, Mr. B. L. Moore and Mr. D. E. Mansfield of Alabama Power Company and Mr. Gary Elder and Mr. J. A. Knochel of Vestinghouse on October 13, 1989 concerning this requirement and the plugs to be removed from the Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) Unit 1 steam generators during the ninth refueling outage.
As discussed in that conversation:
Alabama' Power Company intends to remove 22 of the plugs by drilling and 1 by pulling. This entails the least overall radiation exposure for removal of the 23 plugs.
A metallurgical examination vill not be possible on the drilled plugs since the' plugs vill be destroyed by drilling. Vestinghouse has notified Alabama Power Company that additional data is not required for these particular heats.
Vestinghouse vill be allotted time for examinations of these plugs prior to removal using a recently developed eddy current technique.
The plugs which will be remosed by drilling vill be examined using this procedure.
The actions discussed above have subsequently been completed.
