Subject:
Braidwood Generating Station Units 1 and 2 HVAC Installation NRC Docket Nos. 50-456 and 50-457
Dear Mr. Keppler:
This letter documents agreements reached during an NRC/ CECO conference on August 16, 1983 regarding HVAC installation work at Braidwood.
The following actions are being taken to address NRC concerns expressed in site meetings and conference calls:
1.
HVAC field welding work at Braidwood was stopped on August 3 and will not be restarted until contractor procedures are revised to provide the following features:
a)
Records of weld rod issuance to the welder will be generated and maintained to improve material traceability.
-b)
Neld procedures and weld materials will be specified for craft personnel for each' weld.
c).
QC surveillance of in-process welding will be expanded and j
upgraded to assure compliance with AWS code requirements.
d)
The acceptability of existing HVAC welds will be established
[
before any further welding is done on those welds.
The basis l
for accepting previous work will be made available for review by the NRC.
l 2.
AWS Dl.1 welding practices for other contractors at Braidwood and other CECO construction sites will be reviewed to verify their j
adequacy with respect to identification of materials,. weld procedure f
specification, and QC inspections.
CECO will document the review, the basis for confidence in past work, and the basis for upgrading practices to be consistent with practices at Braidwood.
