SUBJECT:

STATUS OF NRC REVIEW OF RESPONSE TO NRC BULLETIN 96-01, "CONTROL ROD INSERTION PROBLEMS" (TAC NO. M95017)

Dear Mr. Hinnant:

By letter dated April 4, 1996, you responded to NRC Bulletin 96-01, "Control Rod Insertion Problems," dated March 8, 1996, for the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2. The NRC staff is currently evaluating the responses from all Westinghouse plants and is following the fuel testing and inspection activities being conducted by Westinghouse at selected plants.

In the April 4, 1996, letter you described a plan to provide updated information as needed on the results of the related inspection and testing activities at your site during the 1996 calendar year. Should we identify any questions or concerns regarding either your planned inspection and testing activities or the results from these activities, we will contact you.

In addition, if over the next several months, you obtain information that was not specifically requested in the Bulletin but that may be of use to the NRC staff in assessing the operability of control rods, we would appreciate you sharing this information with us.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-2020, Margaret Chatterton at (301) 415-2889, Larry Kopp at (301) 415-2879, or Kris Thomas at (301) 415-1362.

Sincerely, (Original Signed By)
