Docket: 50-267 Public Service ~ Company of Colorado ATTN: .0. R. Lee, Vice President Electric Production P. O. Box 840 Denver, Colorado 80201

Dear Mr. Lee:

Our consultants at EG&G Idaho, Inc. have reviewed your June 13,1985(P-85201) submittal related to the control rod drive and orifice assembly (CRD0A) bearings. A copy of their evaluation report is enclosed for your information and coment.

Based on our review of the information you have provided and the enclosed evaluation, we have concluded that the installed bearings are acceptable replacements for the original design. In order to ensure continued acceptable bearing performance, we request that the test programs discussed in P-85201 be completed and that bearing performance be f actored into your improved CRD0A surveillance and preventative maintenance program.

We have also completed our review of your June 7,1985 (P-85195) submittal related to the epoxy used to attach temperature sensors in the CRD0As. We agree that this material appears to be adequate for the attachment of the sensors. It is our understanding that the epoxy will be included in the upcoming environmental qualification program. We recommend that the epoxy be inspected for deterioration as part of the CRD0A preventative maintenance program.

If you have any questions on this subject, please contact us.

Sincerely, Oridnct Sh"i UV E. H. Jchr. son E. H. Johnson, Chief Reactor Project Branch
