... o In response to our letter of September 6. 1978. you provided information on your 1977 experience of control rods failing to fully insert.
We evaluated your response along with those prov.ided by other BWR owners.
We concluded that such events are general and that the frequencies of o'ccurrence vary among the BWRs, apparently because of different maintenance programs *.
Our Septer.1ber 6, 1978 letter recor.illended that you maintain an ongoing
- tabulation of any additional such events.
To deter.Jine \\'1hether or not the frequency of these events has changed for a given rlant. we nCM request that you report your more.recent experience.
This report should include the experience from the tine of the last reported occurrence through 1979. In addition, please provide a summary of other control rod drive malfunctions, such as unlatching, for the same time period.
The infonnation should be provided within 90 days. For each event, identify the number of rods not fully inserted, the position of the rods, the cause for failure to fully insert, and any related maintenance activities.
This request for additional generic information is in accordance ~ith the GAO blanket clearance number B-180225 (R0536) which expires June 30, 1981.
