Subject:

Response to Allegation Regarding Pressurizer Surge Line Cold Pull

Dear Sir:

The Allegation Resolution Department has conducted an independent investigation into the facts surrounding the alleged incident referenced in your letter, dated January 4, 1985 [ Reference (b)]. Within the scope of the Allegation Resolution Program, interviews were conducted and written statements taken from inda.tduals associated with the installation of the pressurizer surge line. Also, the investigators physically examined the pressurizer surge line and found no evidence of scratches, etc., which may have been caused by some mechanical device other than the Deerman clamps which are normally used for fit-up.

In summary, our investigation did not substantiate any cold pull used for alignment of the pressurizer surge line at Field Weld No. RC-49-F0103, nor any of the other welds on the pressurizer surge line. Furthermore, RC-49-F0102 was the closure weld for the pressurizer surge line, not RC-49-F0103 as alleged.

As noted in Reference (b), the pressurizer surge line was not covered by our " Final 10CFR50.55(e) Report" on the subject of Cold Pull [ Reference (d)].

Omission of the pressurizer surge line and others from our Final Report is attributable to the fact that the lines covered were only those with completed closure welds prior to January 1, 1983, and not those that were in process.
