SUBJECT:

EVALUATION OF INSTRUMENT AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM PROBLEMS AFFECTING SAFETY-RELATED EQUIPMENT PER GENERIC LETTER 88-14 FOR THE WASHINGTON PUBLIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM NUCLEAR PROJECT NO.

2 (TAC NO. 71741)

By letter dated July 28, 1989, and as supplemented by letters dated September 15,

1989, and March 29, 1990, you provided the Washington Public Power Supply System Nuclear Plant No.

2 (WNP-2) response to Generic Letter 88-14,

" Instru-ment Air Supply System Problems Affecting Safety-Related Equipment,"

dated August 8, 1988.

This fulfills the requirement for responding to the Generic Letter.

Although your September 15, 1989, letter identified six enhancements that were being evaluated for possible implementation, they were not required to resolve any of the concerns raised in the Generic Letter.

In your l1arch 29, 1990, letter you state that you will continue to conduct air quality tests to ensure that the instrument air system will perform as designed.

As discussed in Generic Letter 88-14, you should maintain, in auditable form, the records of this verification for future audit by the NRC staff.

This completes our efforts on TAC No. 71741.

Should you have any questions on this matter, please contact me.

Sincerely,

/
