Dear Mr. Taylor:
The staff has reviewed the subject report submitted by Framatome Cogema Fuels (FCF) by i 1
letter of November 24,1992, and additional information submitted by letters dated July 19, August 22, and December 6,1995; June 26,1996; and January 23,1997, to our requests for additional information. The staff approved the subject report in a letter including a safety evaluation (SE) from D. B. Matthews (USNRC) to J. H. Taylor (FCF) on April 29,1997, and FCF published an approved version of the subject report BAW-10186P-A on June 12,1997.

However, FCF raised a concem relating to the corrosion limit during the implementation of !
BAW-10186P-A. FCF submitted two letters dated August 29 and October 28,1997, from i J. H. Taylor to USNRC to clarify the corrosion issue. The staff determined that there was a need to revise and reissue the SE to avoid confusion in the future. Thus the enclosed revised SE will supersede the previous SE. On the basis of our review, the staff has found the subject l report to be acceptable for referencing in license applications to the extent specified and under ,
the limitations stated in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) safety evaluation. The i evaluation defines the basis for acceptance of the report. ;
l The staff will rat repeat its review of the matters described in FCF Topical Report BAW-10186P l and found acceptable when the report appears as a reference in license applications, except to ;
ensure that the material presented applies to the specific plant involved. NRC acceptance applies only to the matters described in FCF Topical Report BAW-10186P. In accordance with procedures established in NUREG-0390, the NRC requests that FCF publish accepted versions of the report , proprietary and non-propr etary, including the revised SE within 3 months of receipt of this letter. The accepted versions shall incorporate this letter and the enclosed evaluation between the title page and the abstract and an -A (designating accepted) following the report identification symbol. The accepted version should also incorporate the October 28, 1997, submital. In addition, to avoid confusion in the future, the staff requests that FCF withdraw the version of BAW-10186P-A/BAW-10186-A that was submitted by letter dated June 12,1997.- Also please withdraw the letter dated August 29,1997, because this letter has been superseded by the letter dated October 28,1997.
