~ As part of the Power Authority's investigation of various allega-tions regarding the adequacy of pipe supports in the FitzPatrick plant, we retained an independent third-party to assess these allega-tions.
United Engineers and Constructors (UEEC), who performed the review, has-recently completed their work and issued a final report summarizing their findings.
In the cover letter accompanying the final report, UE&C concludes "Our Third Party Review effort has not resulted in the identification of any safety concerns in those areas originally identified by Target Technology...".
Attachment No.
l' is a copy of UE&C's final report for your information and review.
In Reference No.
1, we committed to prepare and implement a long-term program to assure that all pipe supports on safety-related piping comply with applicable installation criteria by identifying and evaluating discrepancies similar to those already identified.
Via Reference No.
2, we submitted our Long-Term Pipe Support Inspection and Evaluation Program Plan.
Approximately one hundred supports have been inspected under Phase I of the program, with new Phase 2 inspections proceeding at the rate of approximately ten supports per week.
