United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission September 9, 1983 l Attention: Mr. Richard W. Starostecki Page 2 1 The status as of September 6, 1983, of the reexamination / reevaluation program for the 1,978 suspect items is as follows:

a. One safety-related weld remains to be reexamined and this will be accomplished as soon as necessary staging is placed.

b. The present disposition of the 203 (see Reference (f)) welds requiring Engineering evaluation is as follows:

1) UE&C has recommended that all but two of the safety-related welds should be " accepted-as-is" based on the results of acceptable volumetric examinations performed subsequent to the suspect inspections,

11) Two safety-related welds which are embedded require further evaluation, and 111) UE&C is in the process of classifying the remaining non-safety-related welds based on service severity levels.

An additional report will be submitted to Region I by October 7, 1983.

Very truly yours, YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY John DeVincentis Project Manager l
