Dear Mr. Stampley:
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORf1ATION - GRAND GULF, UNITS 1 AND 2 You recently received Inspection and Enforcement Bulletin 80-07, dated April 4,1980, concerning the cracking of the jet pump holddown beams at Dresden 3.
Operating BWR's were requested to provide a written response to this bulletin.
BWR's not yet operating were issued this bulletin for infor-mation only.
Our Office of Inspection and Enforcement is currently monitoring the efforts of General Electric and various BWR Lice'nsees for developing a long-term solution to the cracking problem. Operating BWR's are being required to i
take certain short-term actions such as inservice inspection to preclude l
excessive cracking while a long-term solution is developed.
It is expected that this long-term solution will be applicable to both operating and non-operating BWR's.
To aid us'in our licensing review of Grand Gulf, you are requested to provide
^
the following.information to us:
\\
1.
Describe those actions being taken by you to preclude the occurrence of cracking such as described in IE Bulletin 80-07.
2.
Provide a commit.nent to adopt whatever long-term solution is approved.
3.
If you anticipate receiving an Operating License before a long-term solution is agreed upon, describe any short-term actions which you will take to prevent or detect excessive cracking. Provide a rationale as to why these actions are sufficient to justify plant operation until a long-term solution is found.
