REQUEST FOR SUBMITTAL OF INFORMATION WESTINGHOUSE REASSESSMENT OF BULLETIN 88-02 RESPONSE SALEM GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 & 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-272 & 50-311 In a letter dated March 27, 1990, Westinghouse informed the NRC staff of its plan to reassess and update the analysis that had been done in.response to Bulletin 88-02. The letter identified Salem Units 1 and 2 as category 6 plants for which reassessment had yet to be done. Accordingly, in a letter dated May 10, 1990, the NRC requested PSE&G to submit the reassessment upon receipt from Westinghouse. Westinghouse has informed PSE&G that the Salem Units were erroneously identified as Category 6 plants when they should have been placed in Category 5 since their reevaluations had already been completed (see attached letter dated June 14, 1990}. The results of the reassessments had been transmitted to PSE&G in a

          *Westinghouse letter dated Janua~y 6, 1990. PSE&G subsequently relayed the information to the NRC in letter NLR-N90019 dated January. 19, 1990.

Thus, PSE&G's response to Bulletin 88-02 is considered complete and no further action is anticipated. Should you have any questions regarding this response, please feel free to contact us. Thank you. Sincerely,

                                                                             ,-,......_   / ./~/(§7

Dear Mr. Berrick:

Westinghouse rec*ently advised the NRC, by the above referenced letter, and its nuclear utility customers of the plan to update the steam generator tube fatigue analyses done prioi to November, 1988 in response to NRC Bulletin 88-02, "Rapidly Propagating Fatigue Cracks in SteamGenerator Tubes". As was explained in our communications to the NRC and our customers, the reevaluation effort was undertaken largely to address some concern over the uncertainties in AVB position used in the earlier analyses.

• In presenting the plan *for the reevaluation of those plants for which Westinghouse had performed the original ~-88-02" analysis, our letter I to the NRC placed the plants into six categories, ranging from plants in categories 1 through 4 that required no further analysis, to those in categories 5 & 6 which were already reevaluated, or scheduled to be reevalu~ted, respectively. The Salem Units were erroneously identified as category 6 plants when they should, of course, have been placed in category 5, since their reevaluations were completed and* the results already transmitted to PSE&G by Westinghouse letter NQ. PSE-90-507, dated January 10, 1990. Thus, no further action is antjcipated to be liecessary for PSE&G to address NRC Bulletin 88-02 for the Salem Units 1

& 2 steam generators. Very truly yours,

                              <
