## Discrepancy

DURING FLUORESCENT PENETRANT INSPECTION, FOUND THE FILLET RADIUS WITH CRACK INDICATIONS RADIALLY IN THREE PLACES ABOUT 1/8 INCH FROM THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER.  THE LONGEST IS ABOUT 1/2 INCH LONG.  THERE IS ALSO A CRACK INDICATION ON THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER ABOUT 1/8 INCH FROM THE EDGE OF THE FILLET RADIUS, ABOUT 1/2 INCH LONG .  THE INDICATIONS WERE CHECKED WITH EDDY CURRENT AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY ARE NOT SURFACE SCRATCHING.  THERE ARE NO CRACKS ALLOWED IN BLADE SHANK, INCLUDING THE FILLET AREA.
