Mr. J. P. O'Reilly, Administrator
.c-CO Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant - Unit 2 IE Bulletin Number 82-02 Gentlemen:
In accordance with IE Bulletin 82-02, subject:
" Degradation of Threaded Fasteners in the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary of PWR Plants," the following is submitted:
NRC REQUEST:
l Submit a statement that where procedures do not exist, develop and implement maintenance procedures for threaded fastener practices.
These procedures l
should include, but not [be] limited to the following:
(1) maintenance crew training of proper boltinc/ stud practices, tools application, specifications and requirements, (2) detensioning I
and retensioning practices (torque iteration),
specified tolerances, and other controls for disassembly and reassembly of component closure / seal connections, (3) gasket installation and controls, and (4) retensioning methods and other measures to eliminate reactor coolant leakage during operation.

Mr. J. P. O'Reilly Janua ry 17, 1983 Page 2 Quality assurance measures should also be established for proper selection, procurement, and application of fastener lubricants and injection sealant compounds to minimize fastener susceptibility to SCC environments.
APC0 RESPONSE:
The above required maintenance procedures and quality assurance measures have been established and incorporated into Farley Nuclear Plant procedures.
NRC REQUEST:
Threaded fasteners of closure connections, i6entified in the scope of this bulletin, when opened for component inspection or maintenance shall be removed, cleaned, and inspected per IWA-2210 and IWA-2220 of ASME Code Section XI (1974 edition or later) before being reused.
Identify the specific connections examined and provide the results of this examination.
APC0 RESPONSE:
The belo, listed threaded fasteners of closure connections were routinely opened for component inspection / maintenance during the recent Unit 2 refueling outage with the following results:
Closure Type of Des cri pti on Examination Results Steam Generators A, Removed - Wet No degradation B and C Hot and Magnetic Particle Cold Leg Manways and Visual Reactor Coolant Removed - Wet No degradation Pumps B and C #1 Magnetic Particle, Seal Housing Ultrasonic and Visual 4
