SUBJECT:

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION OF SAFETY-RELATED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT RE:

Farley Unit 1, License No. NPF-2 Reference (a) - Order for Modification of License Concerning the Environmental Qualification of Safety-Related Electrical Equipment dated October 24, 1980

Dear Mr. Clayton:

This letter transmits the Safety Evaluation for the Environmental Qualification of Safety-Related Electrical Equipment at your fatfility. This evaluation was based on your submittals dated April 29, July 30, October 30, and November 12, 1980. Our letter of February 13, 1981, to which you responded affirmatively on February 26, 1981, forwarded our preliminary evaluation and indicated that an item-by-item re-evaluation would be required at a later date. The enclosed Safety Evaluation identifies the specific information required by the staff and the actions, on your part, necessary to comply with Reference (a). We request that you provide the information identified in sections 3 and 4 of this Safety Evaluation to us within 90 days of receipt of this letter.

Our Safety Evaluation addresses only the safety-related electrical equipment exposed to a harsh environment resulting from an accident (i.e., the IEB 79-01B review). Reference (a) requires that all safety-related electrical equipment l

be qualified by June 30, 1982. The NRC review effort for the equipment in mild environments will be addressed by separate correspondence.

Your response may present alternatives to the staff positions in the evaluation.

The staff will consider alternative approaches if these methods are within the D0R Guidelines or NUREG-0588, as appropriate. For example, an acceptable alternative to the NRC staff's temperature criterion used for the service conditions (i.e. Section 3.3) must base that service condition on the FSAR ll analysis or other NRC approved analysis, provided that the specific analysis, together with reference to the previous NRC acceptance of that analysis, accompanies the 90 day response. In addition, some of the information in the.

Tafety Evaluation may require clarification. Contact your project manager for assistance in these matters.

9 THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS P00R QUAllTY PAGES (810605oo i

. It remains your responsibility to assure that the qualification deadline is met for all safety-related electrical equipment. The staff's review of your response to this letter should not delay any action which is required in order to meet the deadline.
