Mr. R. H. Engelken, Director Gentlemen:

Subject:

IE Bulletin 81-02, Supplement No.1 Docket Nos. 50-361 and 50-362 San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3

Reference:

A.

Letter, SCE to NRC dated July 7,1981, subject:

IE Bulletin 81-02 B.

Letter, SCE to NRC dated November 13, 1981, same subject Contrary to the request contained in the subject bulletin, SCE's earlier response to this bulletin (Reference B) was inadvertently not signed under oath or affirmation.

Hence, the information is reiterated below (with a modification status update) and signed appropriately.

IE Bulletin 81-02 requested that construction permit holders review their facilities design and ascertain whether any of the valves specifically identified within the bulletin (all 3 or 4 inches in size) were used in safety related systems or as PORV block valves. The Reference A letter provided the SCE response, indicated that two of the subject valves were utilized at San Onofre Units 2 and 3, and stated that the recommended corrective action had been completed.

Subsequently, the NRC issued the subject supplement to Bulletin 81-02 which expanded the scope of suspect Westinghouse EMD gate valves to include valves 6 to 18 inches in size, and requested CP holders to determine the extent of use of these valves in safety related systems.

Upon investigation, SCE has determined that none of the subject valves have been I

However, three of the subject valves are l

  • s Mr. R. H. Engelken, Director July 30,1982 maintained as spares and could ultimately be installed in a safety related capacity. Therefore, SCE instructed the S023 A/E to have the valve vendor provide for the necessary actuator modifications so the valves will meet the specified service requirements.

The valves were subsequently returned to the vendor where the appropriate modifications are currently being completed.

However, the suspect valves remain under control of established SCE Non-Conformance Control Procedures to ensure they are not utilized until those modifications have been effected.
