Dear Mr. Mcdonald:
N. Thompson, DHFT
Subject:
Information Request Relating to Proposed Heatup/Cooldown Curves to 24 EFPY - Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Unit 1 Our review of your license amendment request dated October 25, 1985, relating to the subject of this letter is being held in abeyance. During discussion between the NRC staff and your staff on May 1,1986, we identified concerns relating to the methodology used in evaluating the reactor vessel radiation damage. We also noted that the limiting portion of the reactor vessel is not properly identified in the submittal.
Please provide your response to the enclosed questions by June 30, 1986, if possible, to allow completion of our review.
Please advise us in your response of the new schedule need date for completion of our action on this matter.
The reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements of this letter affect fewer than 10 respondents; therefore OMB clearance is not required under P.L.96-511.
Sincerely,
/s/
Edward A. Reeves, Project Manager PWR Project Directorate #2 Division of PWR Licensing-A Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

s ENCLOSURE Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-348 Alabama Power Company Please provide the following additional information relating to the October 25, 1985, submittal:
1.
The licensee indicates that the amount of radiation damage is based on the methodology in Regulatory Guide 1.99, Rev. 2.
However, we have evaluated the licensee's submittal and have determined that the licensee has not included items a. thru c.,
below, in their evaluation of radiation damage.
Hence, we request that the licensee re-evaluate the Farley-1 Pressure-Temperature Limits, which are contained in a letter from R. P. Mcdonald to S. A. Varga dated October 25, 1985. Consider the effect of the following items on the limits:
d.
Displacements per atom (dpa) and uncertainty margins as defined in Reg. Guide 1.99, Rev. 2, which was issued for public comment, February 1986, b.
weld metal in the intermediate shell, longitudinal weld seams and intemediate to lower shell weld seam, c.
plate materials B 6919-1 and B 6919-2.
2.
Footnote [b] in Table B 3/4.4-1 indicates that the amounts of nickel are estimated for the weld nyatal in the intermediate to lower shell weld seam and the lower shell longitudinal weld seams. What is the basis for these estimates? When and by which vessel manufacturer were these welds fabri-cated? What type of filler metal was used to fabricate the weld seams?
Did the type of filler metal used to fabricate the weld seams produce low nickel welds?
