Dear Nr.Eisenhut:

Re: Turkey Point Units 3&4 Docket No.50-250&50-251 NUREG-0744 Rev.1: (Generic Letter 82-26)Pressure Vessel Material Fracture Tou hness Generic Letter 82-26 outlines an acceptable method of fracture mecnanics analysis which is to be performed to demonstrate the existence of adequate margin when the fracture toughness requirements of Appendix G to 10 CFR 50 are not met.The Generic Letter further requires that this analysis be submitted at least 3 years prior to the date fracture toughness levels are predicted to no longer satisfy these requirements.

In previous correspondence (L-76-363, dated 10/19/76;L-77-113, dated 4/11/77;L-77-292, dated 9/14/77;L-77-326, dated 10/21/77)and meetings with your staff, we demonstrated that although the shelf energy of Turkey Point Unit 4's surveillance capsule"T" did not meet Section V.B of Appendix G to 10 CFR 50, the unit could continue to be safely operated.This conclusion was demonstrated by fatigue, accident and fracture analyses, as well as an in-depth look at the Turkey Point Unit 3 and 4 surveillance program.In addition to these actions, we have now arranged for a consultant to perform a new analysis, in accordance with Generic Letter 82-26, which we anticipate will confirm our previous conclusions.

The results of this work is tentatively scheduled to be ccmplete by the end of August 1983.We will submit the report to you following in-house review, approximately eight weeks later.Very truly yours, Robert E.Uhrig Vice President Advanced Systems&Technology REU'/JEN/JS cc: V(r.James P.O'Reil ly, Region II ter.Harold F.Rei s, Esquire P NS-L I-83-056 8302070305 830203 PDR AMCK 05000250 P PDR ol<PEOPLE...SERVING PEOPLE 0 li
