THE CINCINNATI GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY CINCINNATI OHIO 452ot December 20, 1982 QA-2161 L A. DORGMANN SENtOR VICE MDE51 DENT U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III 799 Roosevelt Road Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 Attention:
Mr. J. G. Keppler Regional Administrator RE:
WM. H, ZIMMER NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT 1 10CFRSO.55(e) ITEM M-34 ASME STRUCTURAL WELD & WELDER QUALIFICATION - DOCKET NO.
50-358 CONSTRUCTION PEEMIT NO. CPPR-88 W.O. 57300 JOB E-5590 FILE N0'NRC-8, M-34 Gentlemen:
This letter constitutes a final report concerning the subject
. condition initially reported to the Commission as a potentially reportable.
deficiency under 10CFR50.55(e).
Our previous report QA-1905, dated July 28, 1982, reported a' deficiency with welders qualified to the test requirements of H. J. Kaiser Company procedure SPPM 3.1.51.
Contrary to the requirements of the ASME Section IX, 1971 thru 1973 Winter Addenda,' welders were qualified only in two positions, vertical (3G) and overhead.(4G). The code states that-qualification in the horizontal (2G), vertical (3G), and overhead (4G) positions shall qualify for all positions.
The sacrificial shield, by Code, is not an ASME component, however, the design specification does require welding per ASME Section IX.
Per the AWS D1.1-72 code, qualification in the Vertical '(3G) and overhead (4G)
~
position qualifies a welder for all positions per table 5.23.
S&L has compared and analyzed-the acceptance standards for both AWS Dl.1 and ASME, and concluded that the acceptance standards for qualification are equivalent. This condition has been determined to be not reportable, as the structural qualification requirements of AWS are satisfied and the vertical and overhead positions are the more difficult to weld.

Mr. J. G. Keppler Regiona1' Administrator Region III December-20, 1982 QA-2161 Page 2 In our previous report, it was stated that resolution of this item was dependent on the resolution of reportable items M-49 which
~
identified. discrepancies in the interpretation and documentation of the radiographs of the sacrificial shield and item M-45 concerning welder qualification records. Upon further review of these items, it has been determined that the subject condition is completely independent. The qualification position is not related to radio-
]
graphs of the sacrificial shield nor the welders qualification records. These are separate deficiencies which shall be dealt with-individually.
We trust the above will be found acceptable as a final report under 10CFR50.55(e).
