Event RepQrt 77-045 is being corrected to replace improper terminology "seal bladder" with the term "s.eal ring" because the valve in question does not have inflatable seals.

Event Report 77-048 is being submitted after the 30-day reporting deadline of September 15, l977 because it was not classified as reportable until October l+,

1977.
