FEB 4 1982 MEMORANDUM FOR: William J. Dircks Executive Director for Operations FROM:
Victor Stello, Jr., Chairman Committee to Review Generic Requirements
SUBJECT:
CRGR REVIEW 0F ELECTRICAL TERMINAL BLOCK ISSUE At your request, the CRGR reviewed at its sixth meeting on January 27, 1982, the issues raised in RIL-123, " Performance of Electrical Terminal Blocks Exposed to a LOCA or Steam Environment."
The Office of Research was proposing no new requirements regarding terminal blocks, although a draft Information Notice contained implications of new generic requirements.
It was not clear to the Committee that senior management of NRR and IE was in agreement with the conclusions and recommended approach by RES.
In order to reach a consensus on this issue, the Committee recommends that you send the enclosed letter to the Directors of NRR, IE and RES.
Since the proposed response to Congressman Udall is not fully responsive to the basic questions involved in this matter, we further recommend that you hold up the NRC reply to Congressman Udall's letter of June 19, 1981 until such a consensus is reached.
