Mr. C. W. Fay Vice President Nuclear Power Wisconsin Electric Power Company '

231 W. Michigan, P.O. Box 2046 Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201

Dear Mr. Fay:

Thank you for your letter, dated July 7,1986, in which you described the research project being conducted by 23 nuclear utilities, including Wisconsin Electric Power Company, to evaluate internal conduit sealing requirements for protecticn against fire and to develop design guidelines based on fire test data.

I am pleased to learn of this safety research project and to accept your offer

. to present the results of the project to NRC. Mr. Donald F. Sullivan, of my staff, will coordinate with your Mr. Michael S. Kaminski to arrange a meeting at our Rockville or Bethesda offices. Mr. Sullivan can be reached at G01-443-7712.

You have stated in your letter that the particianting companies may delay final policy decisions on internal conduit seal 1 ng until a more complete technical basis is available; This appears to be a licensing matter outside af area of responsibility, and should be referred to the Office of Nuclear l

Reactor Regulation for resolution. .

l Thank you again for your letter. We look forward to an interesting and informative presentation.

Sincerely,

V -
