Dear Mr. O'Reilly,
In accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 6.12.2.of Facility Operating License DPR-26, the following re-port is provided:
During the course of routine plant stattis inspections on October 30, 1973, leaks were observed at the 3/4 inch pipe to socket weld branch connections for vent valves S-47 and S-51 associated with the Resid-ual Heat Removal (RHR) System.
At the time of these observations, the reactor was depressuri::ed and in the cold shutdown condition, These venting provisions are not required for operation.
leaks of a similar nature have occurred before on both of these co Since nections, we plan to eliminate the pipe and valvo assemblics at these particular points to eliminate any vibration induced cyclic stress which might have contributed to the failures.
The vent as-lings welded to the RHR System.semblies will be replaced with socket the RHR System has been made and no other leaks were observed.A su 3

An investigation, including, to the extent feasible, metallurgical examinationu, is underway.
The results of this investigation and a
