SUBJECT:

MILLSTONE 1: REVIEW OF CRACKED WELD OPERABILITY CAL STAFF'S RESPONSE TO THE NRC TASK INTERFACE AGRE DATED AUGUST 2, 1996 CONCERNING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE REQUEST FOR THIS REVIEW Plant Name: N111 stone 1 Licensee: Northeast Utilities TAC Number: N96313 Review Status: Complete By NRC memorandum dated August 2,1996, Richard W. Cooper, Director of the Division of Reactor Projects (Region I) requested Steven A. Varga, Director of Region I Reactors (NRR), to assist in reviewing several weld operability calculations performed by the engineering staff of Northeast Utilities (NU) in reports 95-SDS-140lM1 and 9trSOS-1512M1 for Millstone 1. The weld calculations were obtained as part of a follow up to an open item in Inspection Report (50-245/96-01 .

Inter-Granular Stress Corrosion) Cracking (IGSCC) program at Millstone 1 The Materials and Chemical Engineering Branch has completed the review. Based on the evaluation, the staff concludes that all the calculation procedures and results in reports 95-SDS-1401M1 and 96-SDS-1512M1 are correct. Although Appendix C methodology is not suitable for through-wall flaw evaluations, its use by NU in 96-SDS-1512M1 was proper for a rough estimate of the remaining margin for the circumferential flaw with the old configuration.

The staff's evaluation is attached as Attachment 1. Since this effort does not needed.
