Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

Results of the 1992 Reactor Vessel Thermal Shield Inspection and Repair in accordance with commitments made in Reference 2 enclosed is Omaha Public Power District's (OPPD) final report on the thermal shield inspection and repair project that was conducted during the 1992 Refueling Outage.

In Reference 2, OPPD committed to conduct an ongoing monitoring program capable of detecting precursory evidence of thermal shield degradation and to inspect / repair the thermal shield when indications existed. With the submittal of the enclosed report, the actions specified in Reference 2 are complete.

In mid-1988, indications in the monitoring data showed that the thermal shield was exhibiting early signs of a loss of preload in some of the positioning

pins, lherefore, the thermal shield support system was inspected and repaired during the 1992 Refueling Outage.

The conclusions of the final report are as follows:

1.

The internals vibration monitoring (datlon of the thermal shield IVM? system was successful in providing early warning of tre degra support system.

2.

The repair resulted in a coupled core support barrel (CSB) and thermal shield (TS) system.

3.

The natural frequencies of the repaired CSB and TS system do not differ from those associated with the system at original installetion.

4.

Post-repair IVM results support the fact that significant TS to CSB tightening was achieved, i
