Subject:

Environmental Qualification of Electrical Equipment Important to Safety (10CFR50.49)

By letter dated January 31,1985 [ Reference b)], we indicated our intent to submit a formal request for additional schedular relief for certain safety-related electrical components which are yet to be fully qualified in accordance with the provisions of 10CFR50.49. By letter dated August 2, 1984 [ Reference c)],

the NRC granted schedular extensions for these components until no later than November 30, 1985.

During discussions held with you and Mr. Vernon Rooney (the NRR Project Manager for Vermont Yankee) following the submittal of our January 31, 1985 letter, you indicated that because Vermont Yankee is scheduled to be in a refuel / pipe replacement outage from September 1985 through mid-April 1986, there is no need to formally request additional schedular relief as long as the remaining components are fully qualified prior to restart of Vermont Yankee.

m- "M'; b;S. Nuc1 car R gulatcry Commission March 4, 1985 Pag 1 2 VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION Based on the above, we will not be submitting a formal request for addi-tional schedular relief. As indicated in our January 31, 1985 letter, it is our intent to have the remaining components fully qualified prior to restart from our 1985/86 outage. This schedule assumes no unforseen difficulties with respect to replacement component delivery, installation, and receipt of necessary qualification documentation from vendors. If any such problems are encountered, we will promptly notify our NRR Project Manager and determine an appropriate course of action.

We trust that this information is deemed acceptable; however, should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact us.

Very truly yours, VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION
