Dear Mr. Seidle:
s
' This letter provides an interim report on a 10CFR50.55(e) matter con-
[
cerning structural steel bolted connections. This item was initially reported'Isy Mr. "arl Creel of. Kansas Gas and Electric Company to Mr.J; lins Jaudon'6 C the Nucle'ar Regulatory Consission, Region IV, on s
Febpaary 4,31983, and supplemental information was provided in the Reference.
As stated in i,ne Reference, Corrective Action Report (CAR) 1-C-0026 was initiated to track the evaluation and resolution of this concern.
The CAR define's the plan of action being taken to determine the condition of thgbolted connections, correct those found to be insuf-ficienf3y torqued, and prevent similar concerns for any future work.
f Prior to,lgauance of CAR l-C-0026 there were no requirements for the w

~j dressed the procedural revision to correct this situaticin and applicable craft pc.ryonnelohave been instructed to notify Quality Control prior to
', y altering Quality".acceptad connections.
The plan of action defined in the CAR is primarily broken, down int 6' r
r; phases. Phase 1 is designed to determine which connections have been altered from their "Qua".ity Accept" condition and to rework those connections. Phase 1 has now been completed. Phase 2, which has not B306280335 830620 PDR ADOCK 05000 S

Seidle KMLNRC 83-076 June 20, 1983 been completed, provides for a random reverification of a sampling of bolted connections in order to assure Phase 1 was effective in identifying and correcting any nonconforming connections. The results of Phase 2 will then be evaluated to determine whether or not additional corrective action will be required.
The status of the evaluation and resolution of this issue will be reported to you on or before September 9, 1983. In the interim, please direct any questions concerning this subject to me or to Mr. Otto Maynard of my staff.
Yours very truly, b$/0 f ll O t
