Title: Closeout of IE Bulletin 82-04: deficiencies in primary containment electrical penetration assemblies

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6625863

IE Information Notice 82-40 was issued September 22, 1982 as an early notification of a potentially significant problem pertaining to electrical penetration assemblies (EPAs) supplied by the Bunker Ramo Corporation (BRC) of Chatsworth, California. All deficiencies described in the Notice were identified as existing in BRC EPAs with a hard epoxy module design. IE Bulletin 82-40 was issued December 3, 1982 to require responses and specific actions by all licensees and holders of construction permits. Evaluation of utility responses, deficiency reports and NRC/IE inspection reports has resulted in Bulletin closeout for 124 of the 129 current facilities. Deficiencies described in the Bulletin were identified at 11 facilities, of which two are operating and nine are under construction. Followup of corrective actions and verification of inspection procedures are proposed in Appendix C for the five facilities with open status. Inspection findings and the replacement/repair status of the 11 facilities with affected assemblies are summarized in Table B.6.
