MEMORANDUM TO:

Jon R. Jonnson, Director Division of Reactor Projects, Region 11 FROM:

Alfred E. Chaffee, Chief Origimi sigmd by Events Assessment and Generic Communications Branch Division of Reactor Program Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

SUBJECT:

PROPOSED INFORMATION NOTICE: ASHCROFT PRESSURE SWITCH SET POINT DRIFT We have reviewed the proposed information notice (IN) on sotpoint drif t of Ashcrof t pressure switches resulting from diaphram deformation and have decided not to issue an information notice due to the following reasons:

e A search of NPRDS data did not reveal any other use of Ashcroft B7618 switches.

e A search of NPRDS data for the Ashcroft Pressure switches with diaphram identified only wear and silt related problems.

e The example cited in the proposed IN is a non safety related application and the drif t could be identified at the first in service calibration, if we come across more wide spread use of this type of pressure switch, we will reconsider the proposed IN.

If you have any further questions, please contact Tom Koshy at 4151176 or Ed Goodwin at 4151154.
