ATTACHMENT NO. 2 l

l l Corrective Action

! "A" charging pump. weld of the flush line was repaired by grinding i -out the old weld and rewelding using a certified procedure. The line l

was inspected and hydrostatically tested before returning to service.

Pulsation ' dampeners were . installed on "B" and."C" charging pumps in l 1979. Weld fractures have not been a problem on the piping asscciated with these pumps since the modifications. A pulsation dampener was recently installed on "A" _ charging pump. Based on the performance of the other charging pumps with pulsation dacpeners installed, future problems of this type are not anticipated, j l }4l l
