RESPONSE TO GENERIC LETTER 88 BORIC ACID CORROSION IN PWRs - '

ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 and 2 - (TAC NOS. 68968 AND 68969) l On March 17, 1988, the NRC staff issued Generic letter 88-05, "Boric Acid i Corrosion of Carbon Steel Reactor Boundary Components in PWR Plants". In this

! letter, wc requested that you provide assurance that a program has been l implemented at your plants that addresses the corrosive effects of reactor coolant system leakage at less than technical specification limits. The i generic letter identified four considerations which your program should l include.

In a letter dated May 31, 1988, you responded to Generic Letter 88-05, describing your connitment to a boric acid leakage monitoring and preventive program at your plants. We find that you have provided assurance that a program is in place dealing with boric acid leakage that potentially could affect the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary. This fulfills your requirement in responding to Generic letter 88-05. ,

As discussed in Generic Letter 88-05, you should maintain in auditable form, records of the program and results obtained fr am implementation of the program. These records may be subject to future auditing.

This completes our effort under TAC Nos. 68968 and 68969.
