Description of Doriciency This deficiency concerns the failure-of General Electric Company,. San Jose, California, to hydrotest the GE-NSSS-supplied flued haad process line of the main steam penetrations before attachment c=' th guard pipe supplied by Ametek. Parar.raph NB6321 of ASME Section III requires that all mechanical welded joints of ASME Class I lines shall be left uninsulated an1 exposed for visual examination during hydrotesting. The m
guard pipe attached to the flued head process li.1e preverits proper inspection of the welds during hydrotesting of the system.
