Dear lir. Ross:

Florida Power Cor;cration received your letter of August 21, On August 23, 1979, 1979, identifying eight long-term issues related to the Order which must be re-solved for Crystal River Unit 3 and the other PAU Cperating Plants.

These eight (8) ite=s were identified and briefly ciscussed in Enclosure 1 of

/, and 8, you requested your letter.

In your discussion of Ite=s 1, 4,

Response to Ross Letter of August 21, 1979 Item 1 - Failure Hode and Affects Analysis of the Integrated Control System On August 17, 1979,- B&W submitted to you for your review, copicis of the report entitled "BAW--1564,- Integrate'd Control System (ICS) Reliability Analysin*'.

This letter is to advise you that,this report is applicabic to Crystal River Unit 3.

Although this was a generic report developed by B&W,. and. there arc dif-ferences in the secondary system designs at, the various B&W plants, we feel that the conclusions reached in this report can be applied to, Crystal River Unit 3.

Florida Power Corporation is presently reviewing the recommendations listed in Section 3 of this report to determine what possible changes are necessary at Crystal River Unit 3 to' enhance reliability and safety.

Ited - Auxiliary / Emergency Feedwater System Reliability Upgrade This letter is to inform you of Florida Power Corporation's cocmitment to the AFW/EFW System Reliab(11ty Study penposed by B&W and discussed with you and your

(

staff on July 19, 1979', and August 9, 1979.

The dra f t report for Crystal River Unit 3 will be submitted by October 22, 1979, and the first report will bc submitted by December 3, 1979.

i f

Item 5 - Detailed Analysis of the Thermal-Mechanical Conditions in the Reactor Vessel During Recovery. f rom Small Breaks With Exteaded 1,oss of All Feedwater

[

The above analysis will be submitted by Lecember 21, 1979.

Item 7 - Small Break :1,0CA Analysis The following is our schedule of response to the six items contained in Attachment A of your letter:

1)

A.

Report will be submitted on December !

.ci9.

3.

Report will be submitted on Septemba.

'979.

.~.,

Report will be submitted on Septemte-B.

In response to this request, we are pm-sing three (3) options i

in preference of order:

I)

Provide a statement by September **

1979, that swa small break with. auxiliary feedWter will pressurize tin-system to*.

the PORV setpoint.

2).

Provide by December 30, 1979, a qualitative anneanment of the transient.

2 3)

Provide core analysis by February 1,1980, using 0.01 f t break with no AFV available.
