SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 99901311/97-01
Dear Mr. Hastings:
On January 21, 1997, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the Caldon, Inc. facility.
The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
The inspection was conducted to ascertain your corrective actions relating to the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Unit 2, Licensee Event Report (LER)
" Potential Feedwater Flow Measurement Inaccuracies," dated July 94-001-01, 29, 1994, Mojel 601, used to measure main feedwater flow in nuclear a'so assessed whether you informed other licensees of this event, and your
~
We screening for Part 21 applicability.
During this inspection, the inspector determined that Westinghouse Electric Corporation manufactured the Model 601 and that you purchased the LEFM technology from Westinghouse but did not sell the Model 601 to the industry.
Your corrective actions pertinent to LER 94-001-01 involved upgrading the LEFM Model 601 to Model 8300 at Point Beach to improve detet. tion of degraded signals from LEFM transducers.
You did not alert licensees about Model 601 inaccurate readings because the LEFM Model 601 was sold as a commercial-grade item and because you do not have a Part 21 program at your facility.
The inspector observed that you did not have information on which licensees operated Model 601 in their facilities.
Based on your sales of Model 8300 to facilities, you currently believe that the Model 601 is no longer used in the industry.
During this inspection, the NRC inspector did not identify any instances in which your activities failed to meet NRC requirements for the areas inspected.
t l
Therefore, no response to this letter is required.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
