Seabrook Operability Determinations Rick Kacich The enclosed was received from the NRC. I also requested the release of these Operability Determinations. With all the turmoil created at Millstone, j NU doesn't need this at Seabrook. Please ask Ted F if he wants to consider <

releasing the requested documents. After the last 0IG report, no one trusts i the NRC's review of these documents. Also please tell Al Pollack that I am still waiting for the information he promised me a few weeks ago. j a You can also tell Castagno that while we may be the same seven people raising hell at the NRC meetings, at least what we are saying has proven to be the truth. This is in great contrast to what he and other NU people have been j

' saying. The truth will win and not the PR words from Tony's mouth. We have  !

many documents substantiating our statements and also many documents proving i that Castagno occasionally falls short at his efforts.

PRIMARY COMPONENT COOLING WATER HEAT EXCHANGER TUBE DEGRADATION AND SERVICE WATER FLOW SURVEILLANCE AT SEABROOK l

I

Dear Ms. Doughty:

On August 1,1996, you wrote to me requesting my help in obtaining copies of certain documents relating to the operation of the Seabrook Station, Unit No.

1. The specific documents you are seeking to obtain are the operability determinations relating to primary component cooling water heat exchanger  ;

(PCCW Hx) tube degradation and to Train B service water pump surveillance test flow. Additionally, you requested documentation related to the NRC reviews of these operability determinations. The PCCW Hx operability determination was referred to in NRC Inspection Report No. 50-443/95-15, and the service water pump operability determination was referred to in NRC Inspection Report No. 50-443/96-04.

The-operability determinations, which you seek, were performed by North

llui00 7f 1

Atlantic Energy Service Corporation (North Atlantic) and are maintained in the North Atlantic document control system. Operability determinations are one of the many different types of documents and records that a licensee must generate and/or retain, but which are not required to be submitted to the NRC. Such licensee-controlled documents and records may be examined by, or otherwise made available to, NRC inspectors during the conduct of an inspection or other official activity, but they are not retained by NRC inspec' s unless they are necessary to support an inspection finding and the NRC wo- ' not be able to retrieve the document from the licensee in the fores' ie future. In the case of the two operability determinations you seek, 'Ser was retained by the NRC inspector (s). Additionally, since neitt r

• rmination was submitted or required to be submitted to the NRC, it is .s Tely that the documents would be found in NRC files at Headquarter, or Regional offices.

Furthermore, with regard to your request for documentation related to the NRC reviews of the operability determinations, Inspection Reports No.

50-443/95-15 and 50-443/96-04 document the NRC reviews of these issues. No other documentation was necessary.

For your information, I have enclosed with this letter a copy of Chapter 0620 of the NRC Inspection Manual. This chapter provides NRC policy and guidance regarding inspection documents and records. In particular, I would like to bring to your attention Section 04.06, which is applicable to the North Atlantic documents you seek.

Sincerely, Albert W. De Agazio, Sr. Project Manager Northeast Utilities Project Directorate Division of Reactor Projects - I/II Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
