%k...<.. o January 11, 1980 Docket No. 50-219 Mr. I. R. Fi nf rock, J r.
Vice President - Generation Jersey Central Power & Light Company Madison Avenue at Punch Bowl Road Morristown, New Jersey 07960
Dear Mr. Finfrock:
.in response to our letter of September 6,1978, you provided information on your 1977 experience of control rods failing to fuliy insert.
We evaluated your response along with those provided by other BWR owners.
We concluded that such events are general and that the frequencies of occurrence vary among the BWRs, apparently because of different maintenavce programs.
Our September 6,1978 letter recommended that you maintain an ongoing tabulation of any additional such events. To determine whether or not the frequency of these events has changed for a given plant, we now request that you report your more recent experience. This report should include the experience from the time of the last reported occurrence through 1979.
In addition, please provide a summary of other control rod drive malfunctions, such as unlatching, for the same time period.
The information should be provided within 90 days. For each event, identify the number of rods not fully inserted, the position of the rods, the cause for failure to fully insert, and any related maintenance activi ties.
This request for additional generic information is in accordance with the GA0 blanket clearance number B-180225 (R0536) which expires June 30, 1981.
Sincerely,
' (qw I
