Dear Sir:
Subject:
Vermont Yankee Reactor Pressure Vessel Weld Metal Data b
I. E. Bulletin No.78-12A requested Vermont Yankee to conduct a records search for specification of the veld material used for fabrica-tion of our reactor pressure vessel. It further required that we provide all information available on veld materials used for each reactor vessel 4
l primary boundary ferritic weldment; specifically, Items ic, id, 2a, 2b, l
first sentence of 2c, 3 and 4 of I. E.Bulletin 78-12.
l The intent of I. E.Bulletins 78-12 and 78-12A is to provide reasonable assurance to the Commission that non-conforming weld wire was not used in the fabrication of the Vertent Yankee reactor pressure vessel. The available infor=ation indicates that out of specification l
weld wire was not used in the Vermont Yankee reactor vessel.
l The following information which substantiates our belief that the Vermont Yankee vessel was fabricated according to specification is in-l cluded for your review:

I United States Nuclear Regulatory Cemmission December 18, 1978 Act: Office of Inspection and Enforcement Page 2
-- Weld Rod and Wire Certification
-- Weld Repair Certification
-- Welding Certification
-- Walder Qualification Certification
-- Table I: A comparison of the E-8018G weld rod specification with actual weld chemistry data obtained from surveillance program tests. This shows that the specified weld =ent conforms to the fabrication specifications.
To obtain additional and perhaps irrelevant data will require a time consuming and costly search of General Electric and Chicago Bridge and Iron records.
If, however, you require further information, we will be happy to discuss it with you.
We trust the enclosed information is satisfactory and meets the intent of I. E. Bulletin 78-12A.
Should you have any questions, please
