NRC Docket No. 50-382 Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-38 This letter serves as notification by Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) of completion of a Commitment associated with Relief Request WF3-RR-19-1 (Application of Dissimilar Metal Weld Full Structural Weld Overlay - Reactor Coolant System Cold Leg Drain Nozzles). This commitment was made in letter W3F1-2019-0009 (Reference 4), as supplemented by letter W3F1-2019-0011 (Reference 2).

This commitment states the following:

The following information will be submitted to the NRC:

1. A listing of indications detected in the overlaid welds.

2. The disposition of all indications using the acceptance criteria of ASME Code,Section XI, IWB-3514-2 and/or IWB 3514-3 criteria and, if possible, the type and nature of the indications.

The scheduled completion date for this commitment is stated in the source documents as within 14 days of completion of the final ultrasonic testing examination of the overlaid welds.

The preservice inspections of the overlaid welds were completed on February 6, 2019. No recordable indications were observed in the overlaid welds. Entergy has satisfied part 1 of this commitment by this submittal and has determined that part 2 is not needed, as no recordable indications were observed and therefore no disposition is necessary.
