Docket No. 50-302 Mr. W. P. Stewart Manager, Nuclear Operations Florida Power Ccrporation Crystal River Nuclear Plant P. O. Box 1240 Crystal River, Florida 32629

Dear Mr. Stewart.:

RE: REACTOR CAVITY SEAL RING GENERIC ISSUE (PWR)

We have reviewed your letter of June 6,1979, in regard to the potential for the reactor cavity annulus seal ring to become a destructive missile in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident pipe break inside the reactor cavity.

Removal of the seal ring during operation at Crystal River Unit No. 3 is acceptable pending our approval and the installation of a seal ring support system.

Sincerely, J Wi.
