Dear Mr. Mallay:

The Regulatory staff has completed its review of Babcock & Wilcox topical reports BAW-10007, Revision 1 (Proprietary) and BAW-10029 (Non-proprietary) entitled " Control Rod Drive Mechanism Test Program."

A summary of our review is enclosed for your information.

As a result of our review we have concluded that the non-proprietary report, BAW-10029, is adequate and acceptable as a reference in lieu of the proprietary report, BAW-10007, in application for construction permits and operating licenses provided that the application satisfies these conditions:

1.

The purpose of the reference to BAW-10029 should be limited to control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) operating characteristics.

2.

The ap;,11 cation should discuss the analytical methods, criteria and stress limits used in the design of the CRDH.

3.

The application should address the difference between the 20-year design life of the CRDM (as presented in BAW-10029) and the 40-year design life of the typical plant.

Sincerely,

/,/,0.'T-f, t..-, e,.pe..
