was an item of noncompliance. The licensee stated that since they had identified the failure to perform the surveillance on time and were submitting a nonconformance, report, that this item should not be a noncompliance. The inspector stated that due to the fact that the missed surveillance was not identified until it was six months overdue and that the incore detectors are used in determining core parameters such as axial
-
flux, radial flux and hot channel factors this item would remain an item of noncompliance. This item is an infraction (302/80-03-01).
The inspector reviewed SP 140 completed on January 14, 1980, and verified that the acceptance criteria was met.

Part 21 Reports a.
The inspector discussed a report submitted by G. H. Bettis of Houston Texas identifying a problem with ASCO solenoid valves on Bettis
,
actuators on Henry Pratt Company butterfly valves. These valves were supplied to nuclear plants for containment or related service and the environmental conditions may exceed the ratings for the solenoid valve
,
plastic parts.
The Henry Pratt Company was to have notified all affected power plants by September 5, 1979.
Crystal River was one of the plants listed, but as of January 17, 1980, they had not been notified by the Henry Pratt Company. The notification letter was to include information about qualified solenoid valves which plants may use in taking corrective action. The Crystal Power Unit 3 valves listed in the Henry Pratt letter were purge valves AHV-1A and AHV-1D. The inspector gave a copy
,
of the Henry Pratt Company letter to the licensee. The licensee stated that they would pursue this matter and take corrective action.
The inspector stated that IE would followup on this item during a
'
future inspection (302/80-03-02).
b.
The inspector discussed a report submitted by Toledo Edison and a letter from the Terry Corporation identifying a problem on Terry turbines (Auxiliary Feed) fitted with a Woodward type PG-PL governor and equipped with a horizontally mounted steam control valve. A copy
of the letters were given to the licensee. The licensee stated that
although they had a Woodward type PG-PL governor, this item was not a problem at Crystal River since they had a vertically mounted steam control valve. The inspector had no further questions concerning this item.
!
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
