GENERIC EMPLOYEE CONCERN r.- ( Report Number: WP-11-SON R1 s Report

Title:

SURFACE GRINDING OF WELDS I. SCOPE OF EVALUATION This engineering analysis covers the following WBN concerns determined to'have possible generic implications to SQN: IN-85-282-002 ' IN-85-271-001 II. ISSUES ADDRESSED BY THE CONCERNS The concerns were analyzed to determine the issue voiced by the concerned individuals. This issue is as follows: , Grinding of welds may mask surface defects. III. CONCERN VALIDITY OR SUBSTANTIATION The ASME B&PV Code, AWS, and ANSI Codes which govern the installation of welded features of nuclear plants contain provisions for weld

    ,,,,                    repair. These codes and standards were reviewed to determine if I"'                     grinding of welds is acceptable.

The AWS D.1.1 Structural Welding Code, Section III, Subsection NB, ASME B&PV Code, and ANSI B31.7, " Nuclear Power Piping," were reviewed. In all cases, grinding or mechanical means (a term which . implies grinding) are specifically referenced as acceptable methods for defect removal. ASME Section V, " Nondestructive Examination," also mandates the use of conditioning methods ( a. term which implies grinding) as a preparatory step for radiographic aad ultrasonic inspection. Additionally, Section V directly specifies grinding as an acceptable surfacs preparatory step for magnetic particle and liquid penetrant inspection. Surface conditioning and/or cosmetic grinding is frequently performed l so subsequent NDE inspections will be simpler and make subsequent ' l evaluations easier to interpret. For surface indications that are of l a minor nature, it is more expedient to perform cosmetic grinding or lR1 surface conditioning to remove the indications than to perform l evaluations to determine if the indications are non relevant. l In summary, the issue considered in this concern is not substantiated due to the fact that grinding is an acceptable practice. This issue is closed based on this report. (" Page 1 of 1 00300
