The first open issue concerns the determination of the unitradiated upper-shelf energy (USE) value for the Cahrrt Cliffs Unit 1 Reactor Vessel Weld Scams 3-203-A,B,C. He second open issue concerns the determination of the unitradiated USE value for the Cahcrt Cliffs Unit 2 Weld Seams 2-203-A,B,C. Reference (c) provided the resolution to Issue No.1. His letter provides the unirradiated USE value for Unit 2 Weld Seams 2-203-A,B,C in resolution of Open Issue 2.

, ,n Document Control Desk July 20,1995 Page 2 As we informed you in Reference (a), a Combustion Engineering Owners Group (CEOG) task was initiated to establish the basis for the use of generic unirradiated USE values for Combustion Engineering fabricated reactor pressure vessel welds. He Owners Group task was completed and the results have been submitted to you in CEOG Topical Report CEN-622 (Reference d). The Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 Weld Seams 2-203-A,B,C are submerged arc welds fabricated using Weld Wire IIcat A8746, Flux Type Linde 124, Flux Lot 3878. The topical report recommends a conservative unitradiated USE value of 83.5 ft-Ib for welds fabricated using Flux Type Linde 124.

We have reviewed the CEOG topical report and agree with the methodology used to determine the generic USE values. %crefore, we will use the recommended unirradiated USE value of 83.5 ft-lb for the Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 Weld Scams 2-203-A,B,C. This closes out Open Issue 2.

Should you have questions regarding this matter, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.

Very truly yours, k
