Dear Mr. Stolz:

This is to respond to your questions in the letter to all B&W reactor plants dated January 4, 1982 concerning our submittal for NUREG-0737, item II.K.2.13 " Thermal Mechanical Report - Effect of HPI on Vessel Integrity for SBLOCA with no AFW."

Toledo Edison has made a submittal on May 22, 1981 (letter Serial No.

718) outlining the features of Davis-Besse #1 to identify that the reactor vessel thermal shock issue is not a concern requiring immediate remedial action for our facility.

Since that time, B&W has performed a specific analysis for Davis-Besse #1 using the general approach as described in BAW-1628.

It was concluded that, for at least the first 6 EFTY of operation, a 0.023 ft.2 Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident, with no loss of auxiliary feedwater and no operator action to throttle HPI, will not lead to brittle fracture of our vessel.

This is the worst limiting case identified to date.

As a result, Toledo Edison has no need to establish procedures to instruct operators to throttle HPI and maintain 100 F subcoolin;; margin following a SBLOCA with no auxiliary feedwater.

Therefore, no ?. raining has been conducted to familiarize our operators with such operations.

Very truly yours, lo%
