Dear Sir:

Subject:

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Docket No. 50-219 Control Rod Drive Surveillance A letter dated May 20, 1970 from Peter A. Morris of the Atmic F.nergy Commission to Jersey Central Power & Light discussed control rod drive surveillance, and required special reports to the regional office of the results of certain surveillance tests if the results fell outside of specified bounds.

The letter frm Dr. Morris expressed concern because of then perceived uncertainties associated with: "(1) reassembly and installation of the control rod drives, (2) operation at reduced acctnulator pressure, (3) the installation of 10 mil inner filters, and (4) the new venting procedure." Because of these concerns, increased surveillance and reporting was required.

'Ihe Oyster Creek Station has since operated for over eight years without any incidents related to the concerns of that letter. 'Ihat experience is adequate, we believe, to justify discontinuance of the surveillance and reports required by Dr. Morris' letter. We do, of course, plan to continue with the surveillance and reporting required by otr existing Technical Specifictions.

We therefore request your concurrence with our conclusion that the requirements of Dr. Morris' letter of May 20, 1970, should be discontinued.

Very truly yours, N

Ivan R. Finfr x, J .
