Docket Nos. 50-395, 50-275/323 and 50-437 IIEMORANDUM FOR:

Chairman Palladino Commissioner Gilinsky Coranissioner Ahearne Commissioner Roberts Comissioner Asselstine FROM:

SUBJECT:

Darrell G. Eisenhut'.

Director Division of Licensing, ONRR INFORMATION ITEN REGARDING CONTROL ROD DRIVE GUIDE TUBE SUPPORT PIN FAILURES AT WESTINGHOUSE PLANTS FOR:

(BN 82-81)

Virgil C. Sumer Nuclear Station, Unit 1 Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1

3 2 Floating Nuclear Plant, Units 1-8 In accordance with present NRC procedures regarding Board Notifications, the enclosed material is provided to the Commission for information.

The material involves the failures of the support pins that are attached to the bottom of the control rod drive guide tubes in Westinghouse designed reactors.

The support pins align the bottom of the control rod drive guide tube assembly into the top of the upper core plate in a manner that provides lateral support and accommodates thermal expansion of the guide tube relative to the core plate.

Some of the safety concerns to which this information relates are failure to

scram, scram system performance during design basis accidents, and potential damage to safety systems and components due to loose parts in the RCS.

This material is applicable to all Westinghouse plants.

We will transmit move information and the staff assessment as it becomes available.
