DEGRADED CONDITION DURING WELD DEPOSIT OVERLAY REPAIR
"On April 26, 2007, at approximately 1930 it was reported that the N2K recirculation system inlet nozzle had slight water seepage. The seepage developed during welding operations being performed to install a full structural weld overlay over the nozzle and stopped almost immediately during the welding. The weld overlay was being installed as a conservative measure following UT inspections that had been performed earlier during the outage.
This event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)A. The plant is in stable condition."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
