Enclosure i

s REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION MILLSTONE NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT 2 MATERIAL PROPERTIES FOR FRACTURE TOUGHNESS REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST PRESSURIZED THERMAL SHOCK EVENTS 10 CFR 50.61 Please provide the justification for the copper and nickel contents and the initial RT values, as required by paragraph 50.61(b)(iii) of the N

PTSrulewhichklasfollows:

(iii)

"Cu" and "Ni" mean the best estimate weight percent of copper and nickel in the material.

The source of these values must be included in the assessment.

The relationship of the material, on which any measurements were made, to the actual material in the pressure vessel must be described."

For the weld metals, which appear to be controlling for Millstone 2, it would be acceptable to describe the weldments on which measurements were made and relate them to the vessel welds by their weld wire heat numbers, giving the individual measurements or the number of measurements, their range and their average.

If the values in the submittals are not averages, their derivation should be justified.

The weld wire heat numbers are used in our review to compare reported copper and nickel contents with those for other vessels that may have been welded with the same heat of wire.
