DOCKET NOS. 50-445 AND 50-446 DEllCIENT PIPE WHIP RESTRAINTS SDAR: CP-87-56 (INTERIM REPORT)
Gentlemen:
On August 7, 1987, we verbally notified your Mr. C. Hale of a deficiency in-volving construction problems observed in pipe whip restraints that may re-quire extensive re-inspections and re-evaluation of the specifications. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).
Specifically, these deficiencies include joint tightness in structural bolts, missing components, missing shim welds in bearing type joints, levelness and plumbness, missing or damaged cotter pins, improper locking device appli-cations, missing field welds (AWS), and deviations for cold gaps between pipe and restraint as noted in Corrective Action Request (CAR)87-015.
We are continuing our evaluation of the impact of this issue upon the safety of plant operations.
Our next report on this issue will be submitted no later than November 13, 1987.
Very truly yours,
/
