d ATTACIIMENT 1 The following information was requested by the USNRC staff during the teleconference call held on February 11, 1993:

1.

The crack which was repaired on the Condensate Transfer system was to a 2 inch piping socket weld on a "T" connection to a six inch header. In addition to the repair to the identified weld, a new support was added in the location of the connection to reduce stresses in the area.

2.

By this letter, GPUN requests permission to invoke ASME Code Case N-416 to allow alternative examinations to be performed on a Class 3 component. Specifically, a system inservice leak test was performed and a VT-2 inspection performed. No leaks were noted Additionally, a dye penetrant in>pection was performed to meet the surface examination requirements of the code case. Reliefis requested as the portion of the Condensate Transfer system in question is Class 3 piping, and N-416 allows -'ternative examinations to Class 2 piping.
