Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

\kJs W V 89 IE Bulletin 81-02 Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) has reviewed IE Bulletin 81-02, " Failure of Gate Type Valves to Close Against Differential Pressure", with respect to St. Lucie Unit 2, and has determined that the subject valves manufactured by Westinghouse Electro-Mechanical Division (W-EWD), or Borg Warner Nuclear Valve Division (BW-NVD), are not or will not be installed or maintained as spares for installation where they are required to close with a differential pressure across them in any Ebasco safety related system or as PORV block valves supplied by Ebasco.

On June 22, 1981, FPL informed your office of a potential deficie;ry, in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50.55(e), regarding certain motor operated gate valves, procurred from Westinghouse under Combustion Engineering (C-E) purchase order 9401086. C-E has requested that Westinghouse review each of the valves included in the purchase order and to advise them of the applicability of the closure problem to each model, and to provide them with a schedule for any valve part replacements. FPL will provide the remaining information required by this bulletin as part of the final report closing out this 10 CFR Part 50.55(e) item.

Very yours, Q.IlS Robert E. Uhrig Vice President jj Advanced Systems & Technology REU/TCG/ah cc: Harold F. Reis, Esquire 8108040301 810714 PDR ADOCK 05000389 G PDR PEOPLE. . CE RVING PEOPLE
