SUBJECT:

JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 RE: GENERIC LETTER 92-01 CLOSEOUT (TAC NOS. MA0543 AND MA0544)

Dear Mr. Morey:

On May 19,1995, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Generic Letter 92-01, Revision 1, Supplement 1 (GL 92-01, Rev.1, Supp.1), " Reactor Vessel Structural Integrity," to holders of nuclear operating licenses. In issuing the GL the staff required addressees of the GL to:

(1) identify, collect and repor1 any new data pertinent to the analysis of structural integrity of the reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) at their nuclear plants, and (2) to assess the impact of that data on their RPV integrity analyses relative to the requirements of Sections 50.60 and 50.61 to Part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Reaulations (10 CFR 50.60 and 10 CFR 50.61), and to the requirements of Appendices G and H to Part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Reaulations (Appendices G and H to 10 CFR Part 50).

On August 9,1995, you submitted your initial response to GL 92-01, Rev.1, Supp.1. and provided the requested information relative the structural integrity assessments for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. We evaluated your response and issued our evaluation of your response on August 13,1996. However, since tne time of our closure letter, the Combustion Engineering (CE) Owners Group and the Babcock and Wilcox (B&W) Owners O

Group have each submitted additional data regarding the alloying chemistries of beltline welds in CE and B&W fabricated vessels. The Owners Groups submitted additional alloying data in Topical Reports CE NPSD-1039, Revision 2, CE NPSD-1119, Revision 1, for CE fabricated j

RPV welds, and BAW-2325, Revision 1, for B&W fabricated RPV welds, in addition, Chicago d

Bridge and Iron (CB&l) BWR data were submitted in Topical Report BWRVIP-46. The staff y

determined that additional information was necessary on the structural integrity assessments for your plants as a result of the CE and B&W efforts. On April 3,1998, we issued a request for additionalinformation (RAl) to you in regard to the alloying chemistries of beltline welds, your assessment of surveillance data for your facility, pressure-temperature (P-T) limits, and pressurized thermal shock (PTS) assessments In general, with respect to the RAI contents, we requested that you reassess the alloying chemistries for the beltline welds and RPV surveillance welds relative to the chemistries provided in the applicable topical report. We also requested that you provide the impact of any changes to the best-estimate chemistries for your beltline RPV welds on the structural integrity assessments for your facility relative to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.60,10 CFR 50.61, and Appendices G and H to 10 CFR Part 50, as applicable to the licensing bases for Farley.
