SUMMARY
OF MEETING TO DISCUSS NRC GENERIC LETTER 98-04 On August 21,1998, the NRC stef/ met with representatives of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) in Rockville, Maryland, to discuss NRC Generic Letter 98-04 (GL 98-04), " Potential for Degradation of the Emergency Core Cooling System and the Containment Spray System After a Loss-of-Coolant Accident Because of Construction and Protective Coating Deficiencies and Foreign Materialin Containment."
NEl staff stated that the intent of the meeting was to have a general discussion of GL 98-04 and to prepare for a workshop on GL 98-04 to be conducted September 10,1998. The meeting began with a brief presentation by the, NRC staff of the intent of GL 98-04. NEl staff then presented a list of questions (attached) on GL 98-04 that they anticipate will need to be addressed at the workshop. The NRC staff then discussed how the Maintenance Rule applies to coatings, current research activities on coatings, and current research activities on debris generation, transport, and accumulation for pressurized water reactors. Finally, the proposed agenda for the workshop on September 10,1998, was reviewed.

6.
Does the staff have, or is them in preparation, a Temporary Instruction (or similar) to provide guidance in the performance ofinspections of coatings in i
containment and licensee coating programs? If not currently available, what is the schedule for completion?
7.
Specifically, what criteria does the staffintend to provide to inspectors (e.g., in a Tennporary Instmetion) in sugards to the acceptable quantity of degraded or unqualified costing.
8.
The generic letter states tiet "the NRC inlands to use fmfanmation psovidsdin response to the GL] to assess whether current teguistory seguissessass ase being -.dy impleA and whether they should be sosised."

Questions on Related Issues
- 12. The staff has previously communicated that it plans to re-assess PWR sumps in light of the information leamed from the issue on BWRs. Please provide an update on staffplans in this mea and the schedule for completion.
- 13. In a March 20,1998 lener to Gary Holahan, the Nuclear Ene gy Institute stated that coordination ofindustry and NRC activities is W to better understand potential problem areas and concems about blockage of PWR sump screens by LOCA-generated debris. WhatareNRC plans related to w n=h ofthese AddM
- 14. The PWR Owners Groups have, in letters to the NRC, requested the use of LBB provisions to allow the exclusion of the dynamic effects of pipe rupture loads in the consideration of debris generation and coatings removal following a design basis LOCA. What is the status of the NRC evaluation of these requests?
