9 Power C O R PO A AfIO N 3anuary 10,1983 3F-0183-04 Mr. Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Division of Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555
Subject:
Crystal River Unit 3 Docket No. 50-302 Operating License bio. DPR-72 Generic Letter 82-32 Potential Steam Generator Related Generic Requirements
Dear Mr. Eisenhut:
Florida Power Corporation (FPC) has received and reviewed the SAI report on Potential Steam Generator Related Generic Requirements included with your letter dated December 9,1982. As requested, our comments on the report follow.
First, FPC agrees with the conclusion that a steam tube rupture would have a negligible effect on public health and safety.
Second, while we agree with the report's statement that "significant cost savings can be realized" by systematic testing and inspection (Section 3.0, p. ES-2), we do not agree that these actions should be regulated by law. These tests would be performed by the utilities for economic incentives alone. For example, FPC already performs the following actions proposed by the SAI report:
1)
Secondary side inservice inspection and QA for loose parts 2)
Inservice inspection 3)
Secondary water chemistry program and condenser inservice inspection program 4)
Primary to secondary leakage limits 5)
Coolant Iodine limits 6)
An improved eddy current testing technique (in conjuction with B&W Owners Group Inservice Inspection Subcommittee)
As may be noted, FPC is already implementing or participating in the development of the four most effective measures as determined by SAI. Specifically, these are numbers 1,2, 3, and 6 above.

Mr. Darrell G. Eisenhut
- January 10,1983 Page 2 In summary, while we do agree with the basis of the SAI evaluation, we believe that-regulations concerning the proposed actions are unnecessary.
Thank you for your time and consideration of our comments.
Sincerely, o
G. R. Westafer
