SUBJECT:
CLOSEOUT
OF GENERIC
LETTER 88-03,
"STEAM BINDING OF, AUXILIARY
PUMPS
(TAC NOS.
67234
AND 67235)
On February
17, 1988, Generic Letter 88-03 was issued.
This letter requested
all licensees
of operating
PHRs
and holders of construction
permits for PWRs
to confirm that appropriate
procedures
are in place,
and will be maintained
to minimize the occurrence
of steam binding of the auxiliary feedwater
(AFWf
pumps.
The recommended
procedures
would require the plant operators
to (1)
monitor fluid conditions within the
AFW system
each shift during times when
the system is required to be operable,
and (2) recognize
steam binding and
restore
the
status if steam binding occurs.
Your response,
dated
May 23, 1988,
confirmed that you have in place,
and will
maintain, the necessary
procedures.
Thus, your response
to Generic Letter 88-03 is satisfactory
and
no further action is necessary.
Satisfactory
implementation of these
procedures
has
been verified by
NRC Region
V
(reference
Inspection
Reports
50-275/88-13
and 50-323/88-12,
dated
May 26,
1988).
This completes
our efforts under
TAC NOS.
