Braldwood Station Unit 2 Reactor Vessel Radiation Surveillances NBC_DEhaltkkSE45.7__ _

Dear Dr. Murley:

- The enclosed technical report, WCAP 12845, is submitted to you in accordance with the requirements of Appendix H of 10 CFR 50 - Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program Requirements. Braidwood Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement

. 4.4.9,1.2 requires reactor vessel material irradiation specimens be removed and examined for a change in material properties in accordance with Appendix H. Section ill of Apaendix H, Report of Tesi Results, in turn requires submittal within one year after capsule withclrawal.

- 09.psule U was withdrawn from the Unit 2 reactor vessel on April 2,1990 during the first refueling outage for Unit 2.

Technical Report, WCAP 12845 contains the results of the examination of Ca asule U, the first capsule to be removed from the Braidwood Unit 2 reactor vessel, it summar zes erformed by Westinghouse the testing, Electric data obtained Corporation and theEdison for Commonwealth enalysis of the data as p(CECO), Three copies o Company

~

- remrt are enclosed and it is permissible to distribute WCAP 12845 as necessary to evaluate this data.

The Nuclear Engineering and System Material Analysis Departments of CECO have reviewed the report and found it acce atable, Analysis of the Capsule U Test results -

does not indicato significant change in the 7TNDT values projected for the reactor vessel, Therefore, there is no need to amend the Technical Specifications requirements providing -

pressure temperature limitations for operation and testing at this time. Also, the results of this analysis do not im aact the proaosed Technical Specification amendment (TAC Nos.

71465 and 71466) revising the Unit 2 heatup and cooldown curves and the low temperature overpressure protection setpoints.

Please direct any questions on this subject to this office, s

Very truly yours,
