Item ofInterest:

On January 22,- 1998, members of the SFPO staff visited FlawTech in Harrisburg, NC, to become more familiar with the methods for inserting flaws into metallic component specimens. FlawTech is currently under contract to Consumers Energy to implant flaws into the Palisades VSC-24 dry fuel storage mock-up. Once the flaws are implanted, the mock-up will be shipped to Arkansas Nuclear One, where it will be used to evaluate the feasibility of performing ultrasonic examinations (UT) on the structural lid closure weld. Representative of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Non-Destructive Examina'icn (NDE) Center were present at the request of the VSC-24 Owner's Group utilities (Consumers Energy, Entergy, and Wisconsin Electric) to monitor the flaw insertion process. The EPRI NDE Center will also be used to aid procedure development for proposed VSC-24 UT examinations.
