Boston, Massachusetts 02199

SUBJECT: NRC REGION INSPECTION REPORT 87-39; RESOLUTION OF ITEM

A PAGE 4 PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION

REFERENCE: TAC Number 66913

Ry letter dated December 8,1987 (RECo 87-196), you provided information

and evaluation to resolve Item A on page 4 of Region I Inspection Report i

87-39, which pertains to an exemption granted from the requirements of '

Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 to provide automatic suppression in the control room.

Approval of the exenotion was based, in part, on a 3-hour fire rating for the

ceilino/ floor assembly between the Cable Spreading Room (CSR) and the Control

Room (CR). We have completed our review of the submittal and find that

the present penetration seals are acceptable and that no upgradino is required.

Therefore, we consider this item and TAC number 66913 closed.

A copy of our Safety Evaluation is also enclosed. .
