Reference:

Vogtle Electric Generating Plant-Units 1 and 2; 50-424, 50-425; Dresser Industries Diaphragm Valves Attention: Mr. J. Nelson Grace On December 30, 1985, Mr.

R.

E.

Folker, Vogtle Project Quality Assurance Engineer, informed Mr.

M.

V. Sinkule of the USNRC - Region II of a potentially reportable condition concerning Dresser Industries Diaphragm Valves (Figure. 3050 Y-Pattern).

Dresser I'ndustries reported that unanticipated operating conditions with unequal forces may cause the disc cap to stick in any position, thereby not allowing the disc to move.

Sixty-eight (60) valves of the above type have been installed or identified for installation in Units 1 and 2 of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant.

At this time Georgia Power Company is conducting a review to determine if the potential failure of any of these valves could affect the-safe operation of the plant.

At this time, Georgia Power Company expects to-inform the NRC of the results of _this evaluation on or before. February 28, 1986.

This response contains no proprietary information and may be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Yours truly,

/
