IINOLVING PIPE SUPPORT MELDS EPs 100450/100508 FILE 821-10/900-10

,FLA- 877

Dear Mr. Grier:

This letter serves to confirm information provided by telephone to NRC Region I Inspector Mr. L. Narrow by Mr. A. Sabol of PP&L on June 8,1981.

During that conversation, Mr. Narrow was advised that the subject condition was under evaluation for reportability under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e) .

The deficiency involves various discrepancies both on pipe supports and on their associated welds. These discrepancies include are strikes, slag and weld splatter; undercut, undersized and missing alds; poor weld profiles and lack of weld symbols on design drawings. Bechtel NCR #7723 has been written to track and correct the discrepancies.

PP&L has concluded that these discrepancies have the potential to adversely affect safe plant operations and thus considers them to be potentially reportable under 10CFR50.55(e) .

Since the details of this report provide information relevant to the reporting requirements of 10CFR21, this correspondence is considered to also discharge any final respnsiblity PP&L may have for reporting in compliance thereto.

A full assessment of the discrepancies' safety impact and necessary corrective action will be provided by September 1,1981 when investigations, necessary to fully define the nature, extent and cause of these discrepancies, have been accomplished.
