MAR 191991 Docket No. 50-443 Public Service Company of New Hampshire A'ITN: Mr. Ted C. Feigenbaum President and Chief Executive Officer New Hampshire Yankee (NHY) Division Post Office Box 300 Seabrook, New Hampshire 03874 Gentlemen:
Subject:
Comp:
- ess of Radiographic Records We have reviewed your March 11, 1991 letter describing the bases for your confidence that all required radiographs for Pullman-Higgins field welds were made, that those welds are satisfactory, and that the radiographs and associated radiograph inspection records (RIRs) were received by New Hampshire Yankee for permanent storage.
NRC inspections and assessments during Seabrook construction, the NRC special Independent Review Team (IRT) inspection documented in NUREG-1425, hydrostatic tests, in-service inspections, and Seabrook's Quality Assurance program and processes provide reasonable
- assurance that the safety-related welds which required radiographic verification are adequate for the service. This includes field weld CS-328-02-F0204, for which the radiograph, original RIR, and evidence of the committed confirmatory Yankee Atomic Energy Company (YAEC) review are missing.
Notwithstanding the above, the Quality Assurance and overview programs which you described as being in effect during construction should have ensured that the noted mis:,ing records were reviewed and retained as required. While you appear to have identified a likely
- cause for the missing radiograph, the staff is not satisfied that you have identified the actual root cause. As a result, it is not clear that all radiographs and RIRs have been indepeadently reviewed by YAEC for acceptability in accordance with your commitment, and have been permanently retained by New Hampshire Yankee. Therefore, to conclusively show whether the code-required radiographs and RIRs were fully processed, and retained, for Pullman-Higgins field welds, New Hampshire Yankee is requested to accomplish the following.
1.
Re-review the Seabrook as-built isometric drawings and identify all Pullman-Higgins field welds for which radiography was a requirement established by code (e.g.,
' ASME, B31.1).

-2.
Determine whether New Hampshire Yankee has the required radiographs and RIRs for -
- all welds identified by the above review, and whether those records attest to independent YAEC determination of acceptability. If they do not, please explain why not.
3.
During the above rtwiew and determination, if any additional incomplete records are
- noted, assess the individual and generic causes and safety implications, and take appropriate compensatory and/or corrective actions.
4.
- Report the results of this effort to the NRC within about one week of its completion, retaining auditable records of the effort on s,ite for reference.
- By March 25,1991, please advise this office of your schedule for completing that effort, Since.ely,
