Reference:

Order for Modification of License Concerning the Environmental gualification of Safety-Related Electrical Equipment, October 24, 1980.

This letter transmits the preliminary results of our review of environmental qualifications. of-'safety-related electrical equipment at your facilities.

This evaluation. was based on your submittals received over the past months.

The facilities'icenses were modified by the referenced Order of October 24, 1980, to require that all safety-related electrical equipment be qualified to specified requirements not later than June 30, 1982.

In addition, the Order noted that a licensee is obligated to modify or replace inadequate equipment promptly.

The staff's review of your submittals has resulted in our identifying a number of potential equipment deficiencies involving a lack of proper documentation, inadequate justification of assumed environmental conditions following an accident, and/or inadequate environmental testing of equipment, such that conformance to the DOR guidelines, as required by the Order, cannot be demonstrated.

You are requested to review our identified defi-

ciencies, and their ramifications, and provide us your overall finding regarding continued safe operation of your facilities.

Accordingly, in order to determine whether your l.icenses should be modified or suspended, you are required pursuant to 10 CFR '50.54(f), to provide within 10 days of receipt of this letter, a written statement, signed under oath or affirmation sup-porting the safe operation of your facilities, that takes into account the NRC staff's preliminary list of defic'iencies.
