D-c:f©ke*t'=-Fi,les NRC & Local PDRs PD31 r/f BBoger JZwolinski PShuttleworth BHolian OGC EJordan, MNBB 3701 BClayton, RIII ACRS 10 PDIII-3 Gray Files LEngle, 14H22
SUBJECT:
RESPONSE TO NRC BULLETIN 89-01, SUPPLEMENT 2, "FAILURE OF WESTINGHOUSE STEAM GENERATOR TUBE MECHANICAL PLUGS" PALISADES PLANT (TAC NO./}181643).
On June 28, 1991, NRC Bulletin 89-01, Supplement 2 was issued to all holders of operating licenses or construction permits for pressurized water reactors (PWRs).
The bulletin requested that actions similar to those requested in NRC Bulletin 89-01, 11 Failure of Westinghouse Steam Generator Tube Mechanical Plugs,"
be e~tended to include all Westinghouse mechanical plugs fabricated from thermally treated Inconel 600.
These actions were necessary to ensure that these plugs would continue to provide adequate assurance for reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure boundary integrity under normal operating, transient, and postulated accident conditions.
By letter dated July 29, 1991, you responded to Bulletin 89-01, Supplement 2, by providing the information addressed in the Actions Requested portion of that document.
We have reviewed your response for the Palisades Plant and find it acceptable. Therefore, we are closing out TAC No. 81643.
