HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 2 RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Gentlemen:

Georgia Power Company (GPC) submits the following information in response to your letter of May 19, 1983, which requested GPC to "... provide some assurance that crud induced localized corrosion (CILC) failures will not occur during Cycle-4".

As noted in your letter, the tRC, General t:1ectric Company (GE), and GPC staffs have informally discussed this question. GE has provided the following to GPC for use in responding to this request:

l No fuel from fuel rod lots / ingot combinations: which experienced failures in cycle 3 was reinserted in ' cycle 4 unless it passed both a visual and a NDT examination. The fuel for cycle 4 has been analyzed with the approved models in GEST AR-II and meets the accepted criteria. No fuel failures due to CILC are expected in the affected reload batch in cycle 4, and in any event the unit will be operated l in compliance with the Technical Specifications.

Very truly yours, fS &"
