Crosby SRV Solenoid Valves 10 CFR 50.55(e) Interim Report #81-06 NRC Docket Nos. 50-373 and 50-374 Reference (a): E. D. Swartz letter to J. G. Keppler dated September 16, 1981.

Dear Mr. Keppler:

The purpose of this letter is to provide an updated status of the Crosby SRV Solenoid Valve 10 CFR 50.55(e) report as committed to in Reference (a).

The testing with the modified collet / yokes resulted in a high number of coil failures. Investigation of these failures determined the collet / yoke spacing to be improper.

Retesting with different spacing was completed November 16, 1981, with no coil failures.

available.

No other test results are presently Parallel path resolution of the problem is being pursued.

These alternate solutions are: adaption of the Dickers SRV Solenoid to the Crosby Mounting and Crosby's working to provide a qualified solenoid.

The collet / yoke replacement is considered to be a near term solution to provide an acceptable valve for LaSalle Unit start-up.

The other solutions are considered to be more permanent. If one of them proves to be acceptable and available before start-up, they will be used in place of the collet / yoke assembly.
