20545 Dear Dr. Hanauer I meant to ack you earlier about the uncpecife reference in " LASH-1270, Attticipated Transients Without Scram.
, page ho, about the U.S. desigt. 4, foreign power reactor which was found to have its scram system totally inoperative.
I request that you identify the b"and of the reactors was it a "lestinghouse P1R, B#ti P'IR, 02 2'1R, or what?
This is not a useless question, as certain vendors made very strong statenents in the past that such enxzar. failures are incredible:
e. g., '1C AP-7655, p.
13 Inasmuch as society is trying to come to grips with the question of the reliability of safety devices, it and because yof the profundity of the nuclear power decision, it is extremely important that the full knowledge of our experience be brought l
to open light, which includes knowing just whore reactor l
design n raxisxikMx experienced the incident abroad, and the date of occurrence.
You have been very cooperative in the past, and I greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely yours, Richard E. Webb Research Associate l
