101 Marietta Street, NW Atlanta, Georgia 30303 SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT UNIT NOS. 1, 2, 3, AND 4 DOCKET NOS. 50-400, 50-401, 50-402, AND 50-403 IE BULLETIN 81-02

Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) has completed its review of IE Bulletin 81-02, " Failure of Gate Type Valves to Close Against Differential Pressure," and has determined that each unit of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP) has seventeen (17) affected valves. An Interim Report from N. J. Chiangi to J. P. O'Reilly dated December 29, 1980 was submitted in accordance with 10CFR50.55(e).

In addition to the list of ten valves submitted previously, three PORV block valves have been identified as requiring attention.

The total thirteen (13) affected 3-inch valves are identified in Table 1, along with their planned service, the maximum differential pressure at which they would be required to close, and the safety consequences of the valve's failure to.close.

Also included in the table are the four affected 4-inch valves planned for service at SHNPP, as identified by IE Bulletin 81-02.

These valves, however, have a functional requirement less than the operational capability and therefore, should not recuire modifications.

i The testing and redesign program to determine the best modification for each valve type has not yet been completed by Westinghouse.

After receipt of the results of this pro,mram and an evaluation of the results by CP&L, the planned modifications and schedule for those modifications will be submitted to you.

If you have any further questions on this subject, please contact our staf'f.
