1 On March 17, 1988, the NRC staff issued Generic Letter 88-05, " Boric Acid Corrosion of Carbon Steel Reactor Boundary Components in PWR Plants"..In l

this' letter we requested that you provide assurances that a program has been L

implenented at your plant that addresses the corrosive effects of reactor coolant system leakage at less than technical specification limits.

The generic l-

-letter identified four considerations which your program should include, i

In a letter _ dated May 27, 1988, you responded to Generic Letter 8f,-05, describing your commitment to a boric acid leakage monitoring and ]reventive program at your plant. We find that you have provided assurance t1at-a program is in i

place dealing with boric acid leakage that pctentially could affect the integrity

- of the reactor coolant pressure boundary. This fulfills your requirement in responding to Generic Letter 88-05.

As discussed in Generic Letter 88-05, you'should raintain, in auditable form, L

records of the program and results obtained from implementation of the program.
