SWLIN No.: 823B01 Title: NUCLEAR STEAM

GENERATOR

Section/Paragraph No.: 27.0129.1300

Question:

SWLIN states “Inspect steam generator secondary side internals (when steam generator is opened for other purposes).” and refers to RMR 6-M-R-2.

Since there are no requirements within the AWP to open the Steam Generators for any other purpose, can it be assumed that this work will not be required and therefore not be part of the bid estimate?

The Government concurs.

SYSTEM

Section/Paragraph No.: 50.0780.1303

Question:

SWLIN states “Inspect inside the storage tanks and replace the manhole gaskets.” and refers to

RMR 8-M-C-5.

Is there any history with regard to the extent to rework required as a result of the 8-M-C-5 inspections?

Yes, but minor. Past history shows that there is difficulty in the manufacturing of new gaskets for covers, and cleanliness issues occasionally arise during inspection of piping internal to tank.

Work inside the tank is rare after technical disposition.

REQUIREMENTS

RP I&C

EQUIPMENT

Section/Paragraph No.: BT.0140.000

Question:

The Subject SWLIN invokes NAVSEA 0989-0310-4000 for inspection and repair for all Reactor Plant Instrumentation and Control Equipment. This manual provides several levels of inspection requirements based on equipment’s Effective Time in Service (ETIS) and other criteria. Since both ships have received upgrades to Type II I &C, as well as other Field Changes, EB considers the ETIS category to be “SHORT”, requiring only Limited Internal Inspection defined as no disassembly, as required by G/I 21.4.2.

EB requests NAVSEA concurrence regarding the level of inspection identified above. This effects the following CPFF SWLINs:

848B01, 849B01, 847B01, 843B01

The Government concurs. With respect to G/I 21.4.1 of NAVSEA 0989-0310-4000, there are no instances based on NAVSEA08 knowledge of this equipment in which NAVSEA08 intends to direct a different specific category be utilized.
