Update on the VSC-24 weld issues The following is in response to your request for the status on the VSC 24 weld issues.
Update on the VSC-24 weld issues:
Last week, the VSC-24 Owners Group (Sierra Nuclear Corporation, Pt. Beach, Palisades, &
ANO) successfully demonstrated a technique to ultrasonically examine the VSC 24 structural-lid closure weld using time-of-flight technology during an NRC inspection at Palisades. This was a major milestone in the process for resumption of fuel loading. Other milestones for the VSG?.3 Owners Group and the individual licensees include training and qualification of personnel to perform the examinations, closure of the remaining RAls, and completion of site specific safety evaluations, procedure changes, and training.
NRC remaining milestones include issuance of the inspection report for ultrasonic examination, review and issue documentation to close the Sierra Nuclear Corporation CAL issues related to fuel loading, and site specific inspections to verify implementation of corrective actions and commitments. The target for completion of items and resumption of fuelloading is June / July 1998.
