Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

As requested in IE Bulletin 80-05, Carolina Power 6 Light Company (CP&L) has reviewed the design of all systems that contain low pressure or holdup tanks that can be valved to contain primary system water for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP).

In all cases, adequate measures have been provided to protect against vacuum conditions that could result in tank damage with the potential for release of radioactive material or detrimental effects with regard to overall safety of plant operations.

Please find attached a listing of the sub)ect tanks and the measures taken to protect them against vacuum conditions.

In providing these measures adequate consideration has been given to a) admission rates of cover gases, if applicable, b) surveillance programs for vacuum relief valves and c) freeze protection, if applicable.
