I Pagion II Docket Nd. 50-339 101 Marietta Street Suite 3100 Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

In accordance with.10CFR50.55(e), the NRC, Region II, was notified on October 6, 1978 that the Horth Anna Unit z Axial Power Distribution Monitor-t:ii3ystem (APDMS) provided by Westinghouse Electric Corporation contained a non-conservatism capable of causing a maximum error of 1.1% in the cal-culation of the LOCA peaking factor shape limits.

Vepco and Westinghouse are currently working together to develop a mutual permanent solution to this problem. Since this work has not yet been completed, you should consider this an interim report. The APDMS equipment is not yet operational and thus a short delay of a solution will have no consequences. A final report will be forthcoming subsequent to the completion of our work effort.

If you require any further information at this tire, please contact us.

Very uly y u 5 i
