NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 

Generic Letter 94-03, ``Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking 
of Core Shrouds in Boiling Water Reactors''; Issued

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of issuance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued Generic 
Letter 94-03, ``Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking of Core Shrouds 
in Boiling Water Reactors,'' on July 25, 1994. The purpose of this 
generic letter is to request that each addressee identified in the 
letter (1) inspect the core shrouds in their boiling water reactor 
(BWR) plants no later than the next scheduled refueling outage, and 
perform an appropriate evaluation and/or repair based on the results of 
the inspection; and (2) perform a safety analysis supporting continued 
operation of the facility until inspections are conducted. This generic 
letter is available in the Public Document Rooms under accession number 
9407210200. A notice of opportunity for public comment on the generic 
letter was not published in the Federal Register because of the urgent 
nature of the actions requested. The NRC determined that the need for 
licensees to implement the requested actions quickly made it necessary 
to issue this generic letter immediately. The generic letter is 
discussed in Commission information paper SECY-94-195, dated July 28, 
1994, which will also be available in the Public Document Rooms.

DATES: Letter 94-03 was issued on July 25, 1994.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Not applicable.
