Dear Sir:

Main Steam Line Wall Thickness As a result of main steam piping wall thickness measurements obtained during the 1987 refueling outage, analyses were performed to demonstrate the acceptability of the as-found conditions. The analyses were submitted to the Nuclear Regulat ry Regulatory Commission (NRC) on June 11, 1987.

Subsequently, Portit..., Cencral Electric Company (PGE) representatives met with the NRC staff and participated in several telephone conversations concerning this subject. Our letter of June 30, 1987 provided additional information in support of the analyses submitted on June 11, in support of Code application and acceptability, and proposed actions to be accomplished over'a two-year period.

The analyses submitted on June 11, 1987 showed that operation could continue for an indefinite period of time.

In subsequent telephone conversations with the NRC staff, PGE indicated a minimum of 18 months was necessary to order materials and perform the necessary design in order to replace those portions of piping below minimum ullowabic thickness should this action be required. In addition, PGE had proposed an additional six months in which efforts would be made to demonstrate the acceptability of the code applications used for the main steam line analyses submitted on Juno 11.

From those time periods, the acceptability for operation for two years was deduced.

July 27, 1987 Page 2 PGE proposes to resolve this issue regarding code acceptability applica-tions prior to December 1,1987.

If determined necessary, PCE will perform j

the necessary design and order materials to repair or replace the affected area of the steam lines prior to the startup from the refueling outage in 1989. We trust this approach and schedule is acceptable to the NRC staff.
