'IP February 23, 1989 Docket Nos.:
50-269, 50-270 50-287 Mr. H. B. Tucker, Vice President Nuclear Production Department Duke Power Company 422 South Church Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28242
Dear Mr. Tucker:
SUBJECT:
AUDITING OF PROGRAMS FOR PREVENTING BORIC ACID CORROSION RE:
Oconee Nuclear Station - Units 1, 2, and 3 In Generic Letter 88-05 we requested that all the licensees of PWR plants institute a systematic program for monitoring small primary coolant leakages and perform maintenance before the leaking boric acid solution could cause significant corrosion damage to the carbon steel components in the reactor pressure boundary. The letter specified four criteria which the licensee should meet in the program. We further requested that such a program be maintained in an auditable form so that records of the program and results obtained from its implementation are available to NRC inspectors upon request.
We are planning to audit ten selected plants. The audits will be performed by members of the Chemical Engineering Branch of NRR, assisted by a contractor, and a trip report will be issued for each plant. It will consist of verifying the implementation of the programs which the licensees have proposed in response to Generic Letter 88-05.
Oconee has been selected for the audit and is presently scheduled for August 1989. We will be contacting your staff to finalize the schedule to a mutually agreeable date.
Sincerely, Helen Nicolaras Pastis, Project Manager Project Directorate 11-3 Division of Reactor Projects -
