SUBJECT:
THERMAL SHIELD CONCERNS - FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT NO.1 On April 12, 1983, a meeting was held with representatives of the NRC staff, Florida Power and Light (FP&L), North east Utilities, Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company, and Onaha Public Power District. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the event at FP&L's St. Lucie Plant, Unit No.1, where significant damage to the reactor thermal shield support lugs and positioning pins was identified. During that meeting, we re-quested that you justify the continued operation of the Fort Calhoun Station in view of the damage to the St. Lucie thermal shield and its support system which was reported at the meeting by representatives of FP&L. As requested, you responded on April 26, 1983, and provided the desired information.
We believe that it is important for you to carefully follow and monitor the course of the investigation into the failure mechanism at St. Lucie 1.
You should be prepared to provide any additional analyses that may be identified as a result of that investigation to support your justi-fication for continued operation.
Our Safety Evaluation of your submittal is enclosed. As indicated in our evaluation, we have concluded that continued operation at this time of the Fort Calhoun Station. Unit No.1, is justified. We note from your submittal that you have initiated a plant specific analysis, to be completed by June 15, 1983, of the effects of the complete loss of the thermal shield support and a drop of the thermal shield.
It is requested that the results of this analysis be provided to the staff for review, i
Sincerely, Onginal signed bg j
