i Memorandum For:

W. D. Shafer, Chief, Projects Branch 2 l

l From:

B. L. Jorgensen, Senior Resident Inspector SUR. LECT PALISADES LER 83-74: 1:AIN STEAK! SAFETY VALVES i

i 4

I have been advised by Walt Paulson, NRR Project Manager, that technical i

reviuw at MRR concluded the referenced report does not constitute identification J

of a ge'atric issue. No other LER's relating to this or similar problems have i

been received.

The NRR review impugns the 1981 safety valve testing performed

~

by CPCo end suppor.ts a crAictusion the 1983 test results represent the actual i

valve conditions (many high lif t retpoints) during. Cycle 5 operations.

If this is se, the licensee was in noncompliance with Technical Specification i

3.1. 7. t, tequiring 23 of 24 valves " operable" within specified lif t setpoint 1

Idmits, in that.14 of the valves would not have lifted in the prescribed pressure brnd.

t; i

The R.RC sh.culd consider a request to DE in RIII to review this matter.

So j

far as I know, the "what if" questions about potential overpressurizations duritig the past cycle have not been examined.

That is, how significant is the nonec:xp*if ance represented by this LER?
