May 22, 1997 CAL NO. 2-97-003 Duke Power Company ATTN:

Mr. J. W. Hampton Vice President Oconee Site P. 0. Box 1439 Seneca, SC 29679

SUBJECT:

CONFIRMATORY ACTION LETTER (CAL NO. 2-97-003) UPDATE - RESTART OF OCONEE UNITS 2 AND 3 Gentlemen:

This letter is in response to your letter dated May 20, 1997, and confirms in writing, the Regional Administrator's concurrence for restart of Units 2 and

3. Your letter of May 20, 1997, notified the NRC that you have completed th se items addressed in CAL NO. 2-97-003, dated May 5, 1997, necessary to r start Units 2 and 3. These items, which involved root cause determination gnd resultant corrective actions with respect to the High Pressure Injection (HPI) nozzle cracking concern and degradation of the Unit 3 HPI system, were discussed in a Management meeting at the Oconee Nuclear Station on May 16, 1997. At the conclusion of this meeting, the Regional Administrator's concurrence was given for the restart of Units 2 and 3 (pending final system readiness actions, including resolution of HPI pump minimum recirculation flow orifice degradation). This concurrence was based upon our review of the actions you had taken or committed to as discussed during the meeting and subsequently addressed in your May 20, 1997 letter. A list of meeting attendees and a copy of your presentation handout are enclosed.

In addition to addressing the restart readiness of Units 2 and 3, your May 20, 1997, letter also reiterated the related actions previously committed to in your letter dated May 16, 1997. Included in these committed actions are the shutdown of Unit 1 no later than June 14, 1997, in order to perform appropriate examinations of HPI nozzle components and make letdown storage tank level and pressure instrument modifications. Accordingly, as discussed during the aforementioned meeting, the Unit 1 compensatory actions addressed in actions (2) and (3) of the CAL will remain in effect until Unit 1 is shutdown.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a) of the NRC's "Rules of Practice", Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
