{{#Wiki_filter:May 4, 1994 i Docket Nos. 52-004 and 99900403 l Mr. Patrick W. Marriott, Manager l Advanced Plant Technologies GE Nuclear Energy 175 Curtner Avenue San Jose, California 95125

Dear Mr. Marriott:

l

SUBJECT:

CONFIRMATION OF NRC INSPECTION REGARDING GE NUCLEAR ENERGY (GE) SIMPLIFIED BOILING WATER REACTOR (SBWR) TESTING ACTIVITIES AT THE TOSHIBA NUCLEAR ENGINEERING LABORATORY The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff will be conducting an inspection of the GIRAFFE test program at the Toshiba Nuclear Engineering Laboratory in Kawasaki City, Japan on August 8 through 12, 1994. The inspection team will tentatively consist of Messrs. Richard P. McIntyre (Team Leader), Alan E. Levin, Billy H. Rogers, Tim M. Lee, Chris L. Hoxie, and Joseph L. Staudenmeier. The inspection was originally discussed with you during a meeting with Dennis M. Crutchfield, Associate Director for Advanced Reactors and License Renewal, and Mr. Sterling Franks, U.S. Department of Energy on April 11, 1994. Alan Levin discussed the dates of the inspection with Mr. Terry McIntyre of your staff on April 26, 1994. The inspection will review the qua'.ity assurance (QA) program and controls implemented during the design, procurement, construction, and testing associated with the GIRAFFE test program during approximately 1989 - 1992 and the development of related TRACG computer modeling. The adequacy of QA controls exercised during these activities is important to the staff since GE has used data from these tests to qualify the TRACG code for SBWR safety analysis applications. The cooperation of your staff in notifying Toshiba of our plans and in providing the support needed to complete the inspection is appreciated. Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact either Mr. McIntyre, at (301) 504-3215, or with Ms. Melinda Malloy, at (301) 504-1178. Sincerely, MMD R. W.
