SUBJECT:

SEQUOYAH Utili PRESSURIZER RELIEF LIf4E WELD REPAIR Enclosed for the information of the ACRS are 16 copies of a report, dated July 25, 1980, that contains an evaluation of the differing professional opinion raised by Mr. Joseph Halapatz on the adequacy of a weld repair of a pressurizer relief line at Sequoyah Unit 1. This matter was discussed at the July ACRS meeting and reported in the Committee's letter dated July 15, 1980.

July 25,1980 MEMCRANDUM FOR: Harold R. Denton, Director, NRR FRCM: Richard H. Vollmer, Director, DE l SUSJECT: RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION OF DIFFERING ROFESSIONAL l OPINION CONCEF.NING REPA!R OF PRESSURIZER RELIEF ! PIPE AT SEQUCYAH UNIT ONE I l I have conpleted my evaluation of the differing prefassional opinion which was raised by Joseph Halapatz on June 25, 1930. My evaluation was based on the information pr?sented by Mr. Halapatz both in his June 16th memcrandum and a

             " umber of background memoranda. In addition. I have the benefit of comments by "essrs Smith, Gamble, Pawlicki, Noonan and a peer review conducted by Dr. Shao and his staff from RES. Many of these memoranda were included in
              ;csvious correspondence but I will include them as an enclosure to this r:randum for ycur c:nvenience.
dditional focus on this differing professional opinion was given by the ACRS
nd v.as discussed in their recent Secuoyah memorandum to the Chairman. The July 15 ACRS memorandum stated that the Committee did not believe it likely
              ' hat tLe . ald repair presents a serious hazard but that evidence on the matter cocid be improved.

VA Scs ?erformed additional investigative work along the lines recommended by '.tc ACFS letter. The results of this work were revie.ted by Fessrs uscara

nd Ser.73n of RES during a recent visit to TVA headquarters office and the repurr:5 plant site. This additional information e.as included in forming the basis for the conclusions and rec:mmendations of the peer review.

The peer review of this matter, ccnducted by Research and described in the July 2t emo from Larry Shao, concluded that the pressurizer relief line draw-baad re; air 1) did not penetrate the pipe weld so that hydrostatic testing is o: ne:essary, and 2) did beccme sensitized and thus cculd te susceptibel to ISSCC in service. They recommanded that the matter be .Mscived by ripuiring a;g in;ed neervice inspecticn in accordance with reccamendation given in N'JREG-3313, 2 vision 1 for service-sensitive r.onconforming lines. Although the line in

              '; : tion is not " service-seasitive" and NUREC-0313 addresses EUR lines rather
                 's ?':R lines, I believe that in:13.entation of tFair r+c:r .endation is i :r; riate and .culd rovide high assurance of the continued intagrity of this
              ' ne iuring operation. This su; ports my July 2                                                            :~3 to you in s ;ich I tantati.'ely ri::~~2nded aug er. tad inservice inspection as an appropriate resolution of this 1:ter.
