SERIAL: NO-80-077 Mr. James P. O'Reilly, Director U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region II 101 Marietta Street, Suite 3100 Atlanta, GA 30303 BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANTS, UNIT NOS.1 & 2 LICENSE NOS. DPR-71 AND 62 DOCKET NOS. 50-325 AND 50-324 RESPONSE TO IE BULLETIN 80-01

Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

In response to your letter of January ll, 1980, transmitting IE Bulletin 80-1, Carolina Power & Light Company submits the following information.

The Brunswick Plant does have hard-seat check valves. They are Velan stainless steel valves with stellite seats, which are of the spring-to-close type, rather than swing check valves. The valves are not leak tested, but they are inspected and receive routine maintenance on a refueling interval basis.

The entire system from the ADS valve operator through the accumulator and then dowr-to and including the compressors is a redundant, seismic class 1B system. Based upon this qualification, the ADS will be operable under all conditions for which it might be required, including seismic events.

Thi-conclusion and the supporting reasons were transmitted by telephone to members of the staff of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulatic:, on January 11, 1980.

Based upon the information presented above, Carolina Power &

Light Company plans no further action on IE Bulletin 80-1.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Very truly yours, B. J. Furr Vice President Nuclear Operations CSB:tma*
