Final Report September 6,1984 For Unit 1, the final ASME code. system was cleared on the problem on 5/13/84. The final Non-ASME code item was cleared 5/4/84, with the exception of.the 15 welds that were repaired on "G" auxiliary support frame.

For Unit 2, a review was performed on the Unit 2 ASME code systems.

There were no partial penetration welds that were within the scope of this problem. The ASME code fillet welds were reviewed for possible substituticn and no welds were found to be within the scope of this problem.

For the Unit 2 Non-ASME code welds, a statistical evaluation was per-formed on the tunnel and auxiliary support frames. For both groups of frames the welds within the scope of this-problem were identified and sampled. More than a 95% confidence that the welds were structurally adequate was achieved for both groups.

This resolves the partial penetration weld problem. We are now in full compliance for Unit 1 and Unit 2.
