TO ALL LIGHT WATER REACTOR PLANT LICENSEES AND APPLICANTS

Gentlemen:

SUBJECT: TRANSMITTAL OF NUREG-0916 RELATIVE TO THE RESTART OF R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (Generic Letter No. 82-11)

On January 25, 1982, the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant experienced a steam generator tube rupture. On April 15, 1982, a copy of NUREG-0909, which described the factual information surrounding the event, was provided to you. The staff has now completed its review of Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation's evaluation of the incident (see enclosed NUREG-0916). This report documents the staff's findings relative to the cause of the event, the repairs and modifications made and concludes that the facility can restart with no undue risk to the public health and safety.

Generic aspects are being developed as a result of lessons learned from the Ginna event.

Sincerely,

Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Division of Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

Enclosure: NUREG-0916
