L. Shao (NRR) and L. Reiter (NRR) presented for CRGR review a proposed Generic Letter to inform licensees regarding a new NRC staff position on guidelines for determining whether the Operating Basis Earthquake (08E) limits have been exceeded if their sites are affected by a seismic event.

The Committee recommended in favor of issuing the proposed Generic Letter, subject to a number of minor wording revisions to be coordinated with the CRGR staff.

This matter is discussed in Enclosure 2.

The Committce reviewed a proposed NRC Bulletin on Steam Generator Tube Rupture requesting that PWR licensees take certain actions to assure that their plants are not susceptible to the rapidly propagating fatigue mechanisms that led to the SG tube rupture event at the North Anna facility on July 15, 1987.

The Committee also recommended that the EDO direct the staff to reconsider a requirement for diverse (ATWS-related) scram systems in Westinghause PWRs, in view of continuing adverse operating experience with the components that are the subject of this bulletin (and J
