Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
We offer the following response to the violation listed in the subject inspection report.
NOTICE OF VIOLATION The licensee could not retrieve radiographs for valve to pipe welds MUV-437 and -429 in HPI line A-2.
In discussing this problem with the licensee, the inspector expressed concern over the apparent loss / misplacement of these radiographs and asked how many other safety related welds existed without the required fabrication records. Moreover, the inspector stated that as part of the corrective action, appropriate measures would have to be implemented to provide the necessary assurance that this matter was not of generic nature.
The inspector stated that failure to retrieve reqv-ed radiographs and/or supporting NDE documents is contrary to 10 CFR c':, e 4endix B Criterion XVII as implemented by FSAR Section 1.7.6.7.1q. v W ren ires that records shall be identifiable and retrievable. This failjr, 0 3ntify and retrieve required radiographs was ideatified as a viu atio,. 4 2/82-03-01), " Failure to Retrieve Construction Radiographs."
Response: Florida Power Corporation concurs with the stated violation and offers the following response:

j Notice of Violation Response RII 302/82-03 Page 2 On 2/18/82 radiographic film for welds MU-429 and 437 were not retrievable from Quality Files.
Radiographic film for weld MU-456 was available; however, it contained a reader sheet dis-crepancy.
y A search of the construction records turned over from the B&W Construction to FPC plant files revealed no indication that the radiographic film for MU-429 and 437 was ever transmitted to FPC.
B&W field construction proceiures for MU-429 and 437 indicated that an acceptable radiograph was accomplished for these welds.
During the month of February 1982, several searches of the CR-3 Quality Files by Document Control personnel were accomplished.
However, no, furthe-radiographic film or records were found con-cerning MU-456, I, and 429. B&W Construction Company of Copley, Ohio also perfort a review of their records for the missing in-formation, they s.so could not find anything additional.
All radiographic film for the portion of the MU System constructed by B&W was indiv;. dually reviewed, all radiographic film folders in
~
the CR-3 storage vault were examined for connection to MU-456, 437, and 429 welds, all microfiche records of B&W Construction records on the MU-456, 437, and 429 welds, and all PTL radiographic records were reviewed for any reference to welds MU-456, 437, and 429.
This comprehensive review revealed no additional information on MU-456 or 437. However, a radiographic film reader sheet for MU-429 was found. This indicated an acceptable radiograph had been taken of MU-429.
As of this date, the following information is available on MU-456, 437, and 429 welds:
MU-456
- a. Radiographic film
- h. Radiographic film reader sheet.
- c. Correspondence clarifying original reader sheet discrepancies.
- d. Completed B&W field construction procedure.
MU-437
- a. Completel B5W field construction procedure only.
MU-429 a.Radiograhoicfilmreadersheet, b.. Completed B&W field construction procedure.

Notice of Violation Response RII 50-302/82-03 Page 3 To correct the deficient construction records, the following action will be accomplished:
- 1. MU-456 - No further action required. The radio-graphic indications were identified as suck-up (root concavity) which is acceptable under the original construction code.
- 2. MU-437 - Will be reradiographed during the next CR-3 refueling.
NOTE: A redesign of the HPI nozzle to MU System interface is being considered.
If it is necessary, 437 will be cut out.
Radiographs of the_ replacement weld will be taken and placed in the Quality Files.
- 3. MU-429 weld area is not being considered for re-design at this time, and will be reradiographed during the next CR-3 refueling.
All plant records are presently being re-indexed and placed on a computerized retrieval system. This will help to alleviate a majority of the record retrieval problems experienced in the past.
Should there be further questions, please contact us.
Very truly yours, G@ N l rw T. C. Lutkehdus
