STEEL REACTOR PRESSURE B0UNDARY'COMPONENTSiIN PWR' PLANTS -

(TAC NO.68926) ,

On March 17, 1988,. the NRC staff issued Generic Letter 88-05, " Boric Acid Corrosion of Carbon Steel Reactor Boundary Components in PWR Plants". In this

' letter we requested that you provide assurances that a program has been-

~

implemented at your plant that addresses

the corrosive. effects of reactor

- coolant system leakage at less than technical specification limits. The generic letter identified four considerations which your program should include.

'In a letter dated June 21, 1988, you responded to Generic Letter 88 05, describing your . commitment to a boric acid leakage monitoring and preventive program at your plant. We find that your response provided the information requested and identified the long-term resolution actions and identified a ,

completion'date of December 31, 1989 for those actions. 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 from implementation of the program. These records may be subject to future auditing.

This completes our effort under TAC N0. 68926.

Sincerely, 8906200093 890614 /s/
