Subject:

Report of Cooper Nuclear Station Feedwater Nozzle Examinations per NUREG 0619.

Gentlemen:

In accordance with Section 4.4.3.1(2) of NUREG 0619, "BWR Feedwater Nozzle and Control Rod Drive Return Line Nozzle Cracking", the following report of visual examinations of the feedwater spargers at Cooper Nuclear Station, conducted during the Spring 1988 Refueling Outage, is presented.

(a) There have been six startup/ shutdown cycles at Cooper Nuclear Station since the latest visual examinations of the feedwater spargers in 1986.

There have been 118 startup/ shutdown cycles at Cooper Nuclear Station since the initial startup of the plant in 1974.

(b)

In 1980, Cooper Nuclear Station removed the feedwater nozzle cladding and installed double-piston-ring, triple-thermal-sleeve spargers.

Subsequent to this, baseline ultrasonic and liquid penetrant examinations were performed per Cooper Nuclear Station and General Electric procedures.

No cracks or recordable indications were identified during these examinations.

In 1982, the feedwater nozzles and spargers were examined by ultrasonic and visual methods, respectively, per Cooper Nuclear Station and General Electric procedures.

No cracks or recordable indications were identified during these examinations.

In 1983 and 1984, the feedwater spargers were visually examined per Cooper Nuclear Station and General Electric procedures.

No cracks or recordable indications were identified during these examinations.

In 1986, the feedwater nozzles and spargers were examined by ultrasonic and visual methods, respectively, per Cooper Nuclear Station and General Electric procedures.

No cracks or recordable indications were identified during these examinations.
