SUBJECT:
SUMARY OF A MEETING DISCUSSING THE TECHNICAL BASIS FOR
, COMED'S PENDING PROPOSAL TO DELETE THE BRAIDWOOD 1 MID-CYCLE STEAM GENERATOR EDDY CURRENT INSPECTION - OCTOBER 4, 1996 A meeting was held in Rockville, Maryland, on October 4,1996, between members
, of the NRC staff and representatives of the Commonwealth Edison Company j (Comed, the licensee) regarding a proposal by Comed to delete a Braidwood, a
Unit 1 mid-cycle steam generator (SG) eddy current inspection (ECI). A list 1
of attendees is provided in Enclosure 1. A copy of the material discussed at
- the meeting is provided in Enclosure 2.
?
- The staff had approved in its letter dated May 22, 1996, a prior request by i Comed to defer a mid-cycle SG ECI from July 1996 to a date no later than
. October 15, 1996. This ECI was to be conducted to determine the extent and severity of circumferential outer diameter stress corrosion cracking (ODSCC) in the Braidwood 1 SG tubes in the roll transition zone at the top of the 1 tubesheet. The date scheduled by Comed for the start of this ECI was 2
October 11, 1996. Subsequent to the issuance of the staff's letter cited above, Comed proposed in its letter dated August 2, 1996, to delete this
- Braidwood 1 mid-cycle ECI, thereby allowing this unit to operate without
- interruption to the end of the present fuel cycle in March 1997.
j Two previous meetings on this pt oposal were held in August 1996 and a request i for additional information (RAI) aas sent to the licensee on September 9,
- 1996. The licensee submitted a complete response to this RAI on September 24, i 1996. The staff then issued a second RAI on this matter in its letter dated
! October 3, 1996. The purpose of the subject meeting was to discuss the j licensee's responses to both the first and second RAls cited above.
! The staff stated at the baginning of this meeting that it had not had
! sufficient time to review the licensee's submittal dated September 24, 1996, and reach a conclusion regarding .he acceptability of Comed's poposal of 1 August 2, 1996. This position was originally transmitted to Comed by telephone on September 30, 1996, and subsequently documented in the staff's I
- letter dated October 3, 1996. i
) At the conclusion of the subject meeting, the staff again stated that while it still could not reath any concle, ion regarding the acceptability of the i proposed deletion of the Braidwood 1 mid-cycle ECI, it believed that the A
~4eting was useful in that it assi:;ted additional members of the staff in understanding the technical scis of Comed's pending proposal.

In response to a Comed proposal to delay the mid-October Braidwood 1 ECI by four to six weeks to allow the staff additional review time, the staff responded that it had no basis to conclude that it could reach a favorable decision within the proposed extension. The staff reiterated i.ts prior estimate that it would be able to issue a third RAI on the pending proposal i prior to October 25, 1996. 1 At the end of the meeting, Comed informed the staff that it planned to ::ubmit by October 18, 1996, a proposal to delete the Byron 1 mid-cycle ECI which is presently scheduled for September 1997. This proposal would be based on the same methodology and database sup)orting the August 2,1996, proposal for Braidwood 1. Comed also stated t1at for reasons of scheduling' reactor outages in an orderly manner, it would request the staff to provide a decision on this fcrthcoming proposal by the end of November 1996.
Subsequent to this meeting, Comed started the Braidwood I mid-cycle ECI on October 11, 1996.

Growth Rates EOC Approach Does Not Require Application of Growth Rates
- Distribution Best Characterizes Braidwood 1 EOC-6 by Using Well Established Byron 1 EOC-6 Distribution Short Interval Growth Rates are not Applied t
- Short Operating Period Growth Rates are not Representative of Actual Degradation Over a Full Operating Cycle
- No Significant Change in Byron 1 Distribution as would be Expected from Growth Rates for the Short Interval ,
