Dear Mr. Davidson:

SUBJECT:

_ REQUEST _FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - PERRY, 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 information only.

Our Office of Inspection and Enforcement is currently monitoring the efforts of General Electric and various BWR Licensees for developing a long-term solution to the cracking problem. Operating BWR's are being required to

~

take certain thcrt-term actions such as inservice inspection to preclude 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 Perry, 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 comitment 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.

Sincerely, Robert L. Tedesco, Assistant Director for Licensing Division of Licensing cc: See next page 8008080057
