Reference:

(1) SLNRC 79-21, dated 12/6/79: Same subject (2) Westinghouse letter (T.M. Anderson), NS-TMA-2204, to USNRC (V. Stello, Jr.), dated 2/15/80: Same subject

Dear Mr. Grier:

Reference (1) reported a potential deficiency involving the Engineered Safety Features A.ctuation System and described a test sequence that was the necessary corrective action applicable to the SNUPPS plants. Ref-erence (2) provided the NRC with revised tests that yield more conclusive results.

The SNUPPS utilities are investigating hardware changes that may preclude the need for the tests described in Reference (2). If such hardware changes are not feasible, the appropriate test sequence from Reference (2) ,

will be incorporated in the procedures for the SNUPPS plants.  !

l Very truly yours,

/y r emc Nicholas A. Petrick RLS/vas cc: Mr. James G. Keppler Director, Region III, USNRC l

Mr. Karl V. Seyfrit, Director, Region IV, USNRC Mr. Victor Stello, Jr., Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement, USNRC, Washington D.C.
