LPL 12062 Q-3-A35.02.01 Mr. K.V. Seyfrit, Director U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Inspection & Enforcement Region IV 611 Ryan Plaza Drive Suite 1000 Arlington, Texas 76012

SUBJECT:

Waterford SES Unit 3 -

Docket No. 50-382 Potentially Reportable Incident No. 21

" Pressure Transzitter Lift-Off Voltage" Dest Mr. Seyfrit:

The sui. ject deficiency describes a lif tof f-voltage problem for Rosemount 1153A tran;,=itters. The device will not start up for certain combinations of power supply voltage, tero suppression, ambient temperature, etc.

In Waterford SES Unit No. 3 applications, the voltage provided to the current loop of the transmitter is 40 volts dc. Since the lif tof f-voltage problem does not occur if the power supply voltage exceeds 30 volts, we do no.t believe that this failure is a reportable deficiency under 10CFR50.55e.

Yours verf truly, 6
