June 21, 1982 MR Hff0LD P. DENTON DIRECTOR OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION U S NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON D C 20555 DOCKET 50-312 RANCHO SEC0 NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION UNIT NO 1 PRESSURIZED THERMAL SH0CK CONSIDERATIONS The Sacramento Municipal Utility District is a member of the B&W Owners' Group and has been active in the Owners' Group Subcommittee for Reactor Vessel Materials.
This Subcommittee has met with the staff on several occasions to discuss a program for resolving pressurized thermal shock concerns.
At a meeting on June 9, 1982, held with the entire nuclear industry, you requested input on a regulatory positicn that the staff is considering for this issue. The Owners' Group Subcommittee has submitted comments on this position, which we fully endorse.
As you are aware, the B&W Owners have undertaken a program for plant spe-cific evaluations of the thermal shock issue and results indicate that there is no near-term safety problem at B&W designed plants.
In addition, programs have been undertaken or will be undertaken to reduce the possibility of overcooling events at Rancho Seco Unit No. 1.
For example, following the March 20, 1978 cooldown event at Rancho Seco, we made significant modifications to the nonnuclear instrumentation power supplies to prevent this type of event from happening again. We are also installing a safety grade control system for the auxiliary feedwater system which will prevent overcooling events resulting from overfeed situations. We also feel that a relatively complex item such as thermal shock cannot be realistically evaluated by focusing on a single para-meter such as RTNDT. We feel that time is available to carefully consider any regulatory position and are willing to work with the staff individually and through the B&W Owners' Group to ensure that Rancho Seco can continue to oper-ate safely.
