Revised and Updated Response
Dear Sir:
By letter received January 17, 1980 Boston Edison was required by the NRC to address IE Bulletin 79-01B.
This Bulletin requested two responses, a 45 day and a 90 day, with information as requested by Enclosure 1 of the Bulletin.
References 1) and 2) and their attachments provided our 45 day response and initial 90 day response. Reference 3) provided our anticipated schedule for additional submittals, as requested by the NRC.
In Attachment 1 to this letter Boston Edison is providing its revi,ed and updated 90 day response for Pilgrim Station.
The NRC commissioner's memorandum and order, May 23, 1980 addressed environmental quali11 cation of electrical equipment.
This order's impact on utility Bulletin 79-01B efforts were clarified and amplified during a Region 1 NRC meeting held July 14, 1980.
Boston Edison will incorporate to the extent practicable in our final response any additional information requested by the NRC during this meeting.
As indicated in Reference 3) Boston Edison will provide its final response by October 25, 1980.
References 1) and 3) generically discussed the difficulties in acquiring informa-tion for Pilgrim equipment. Boston Edison resources have been distributed amoung numerous short term activities including refueling outage wrk and NUREG-0578 modifications. Vendor resources have become strained by similar requests for information from other utilities.
For older vintage plants, such as Pilgrim, vendors must search both their own plus subvendor records which may be over 10 years old.
In many cases this work required Boston Edison to issue purchase orders for these searches.
