Dear Mr. Grier:

l This is in response to you" letter of September 29, 1978, which forwarded I.

E. Bulletic 78-12.

This bulletin requests information concerning reactor vessel weld materials and reactor vessel fabrication and suggests that the information search be performed by the reactor pressure vessel manufacturer.

l l

l The licensee's source for the information requested is l

through General Electric Company, our nuclear steam system supplier.

The General Electric Company advises us this l

request is for a substantial amount of detailed shop infor:rtticn and estimates completion of this task will require six man months per vessel.

General Electric Company has proposed to the NRC staff, by a conference call on November 8, 1978 (W. Cohn GE, R.

Brugge GE, and E.

Jordan NRC, W. Rutherford NRC), that the most effective and expeditious method of providing the information is on a generic basis by vessel manufacturer.

We are actively involved in keeping ourselves abreast of the communications between General Electric Company and the NRC staff in order to resolve the request for i dormation in the most appropriate and expediticus manner.

Mr. Boyce R.
