IE Bulletin No.79-01B Supplement No. 2 Date: September 30, 1980
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION OF CLASS IE EQUIPMENT
Enclosed are the generic questions and answers which resulted from NRC/Licensee meetings in NRC Regional Offices during the week of July 14, 1980 regarding environmental qualification of Class 1E equipment in use at power reactor facilities. These answers address specific questions asked during the meetings. Due to the generic nature of some of these questions, the staff is issuing them as a bulletin supplement. The regional meetings highlighted the fact that in some cases, the scope and depth of the 79-01B review was not clear to licensees. Therefore, these answers may affect your 79-01B submittal. These submittals are required by a separate order to be completed by November 1, 1980.
Some answers given in Supplement No. 1 to IEB-79-01B are superseded by these answers. For example, in Bulletin Supplement No. 1, issued on February 29, 1980, the answer to question No. 5 specified that TMI lessons learned equipment was not included in the review. However, due to the extension of the response date from April 14, 1980 to November 1, 1980, this equipment is now being addressed since its installation is either complete or required before the issuance of the February 1, 1981 SER. (See Question No. 21 of this Supplement.)
No specific response is requested by this Supplement; however, all answers contained in the enclosure to this Supplement should be carefully reviewed and considered for applicability in your response to IEB 79-01B.
IE Bulletin No.79-01B was issued under a blanket GAO clearance (B180225 (ROO72); clearance expired July 31, 1980) specifically for identified generic problems. Supplement No. 2 to Bulletin 79-01B is for information, hence no GAO clearance is required.
