Please accept this letter as an interim report concerning a 10CFR50.55(e) event which was reported to your office on August 22, 1978.

We have determined, with the assistance of Limitorque service personnel, that readjustment of the Belleville springs in the torquing device resolves the problem.- We have concluded that these springs were improperly adjusted at the Limitorque factory.

We have contacted Limitorque for a corrective action commitment, and will D'C 11197B B303040486 781205 pm ADOCK 05000358 G
