, ATTACHMENT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFOT:MATION INSERVICE INSPECTION FROGRAM -

Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Unit 1 By letter dated June 30, 1983 (I) , from N. W. Curtis (PP&L) to A. Schwencer (NRC), the licensee submitted a proposed Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program for Susquehanna's first 10 year inspection interval. The NRC staff will be

' evaluating this program and the documents referenced in it and other documents

_ (see attached document review list) to review your ISI Program. The staff will. also use this material to review the sample of welds selected for ex-amination and requests for relief.from impractical examinations required by Section' XI,1980 Edition, Winter 1980 Addenda of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, along with the required portions of Section XI,1974 Edition, . Summer.1975. Add 5da .that apply to ths Residual Heat Removal, Emergency Core Cooling, and Containment Heat Removal Systems. If there are any additional relief requests' or supporting information that you wish to be considered, provide the staff with copies. If they have ,

been previously furnished to the NRC, please document by reference.

.~ -

The following questions address the program and the specific relief requests.

l

2. lhe code requirements for extent and frequency of examiration under examination Categories B-J and C-F, Pressure Retaining

'n' elds in Piping, depend on the weld configuration. In par-ticular, welds in areas of high stress, dissimilar metal welds, welds at terminal ends and branch connections, and welds at structural discontinuities require examination during each interval. In the material to be provided under 1 above,

-indicate the method that these specific requirements were applied.to_determins the extenf and frequency of . examinations under Categories B-J and C-F and illustrate by example for a typical zone or system.

3. In the ISI Program (1) , Table 6.0 page 8 of 18 omits " Code Categnry B-M-1, Item Number B12.31: Valves Nominal Fipe Size 2 4 in."

Please discuss the' omission of this item.

4. No examination procedures were referenced in the ISI Program (1) that would allow the staff. to determine that suitable ultrasonic t

If there are newer applicable revisions, please reference _them and summarize any significant changes.

-5. In Reference 3, Item c, PP&L states, "The Inservice Inspection Program will include requirements for augmented periodic ultrasonic and liquid

feed ater inlet nozzles N4A and N4D due to geometric restrictions.

In the ISI Program ( ) it was stated that the 60-degree segments of the two feed. eater inlet nozzles N4A and N4D that cannot be inspected autcmatically will be examined manually to the extent pessible.

Please provide sketches of Nozzles N4f4 and N4D, showing dimensions and proximity to Nozzles N11A and N11B and a narrative description of the reason that full volumetric examination cannot be accomplished using a combination of autorated and manual scanning techniques. Also indicate '

approximately what fraction of the 60-degree segment not covered by automatic ' inspection can adequately be covered by manual inspection.
