SUBJECT:

PROPOSED REVISION 2 TO REGULATORY GUIDE 1.97 "INSTRUMENTATION FOR LIGHT-WATER-COOLED NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS TO ASSESS PLANT AND ENVIRONS CONDITIONS DURING AND FOLLOWING AN ACCIDENT" (San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3)

The Regulatory staff is revising Regulatory Guide 1.97 to provide more specific guidance than that contained.in the guide now being used. A draft of proposed revision 2 of this.guide is enclosed (Enclosure 1).

The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safegubrds has reviewed proposed Revision 2 of the guide and has agreed to its issuance for comment.

Enclosure I is based on the results of Task Action Plan A-34, "Instrumen tation for Monitoring Radiation and Process Variables During an Accident" which was initiated in June 1977 to develop more specific guidance concerning.

implementation of Regulatory Guide 1.97.

A major addition to the current Regulatory Guide 1.97 is-the identification ofspecific parameters to be measured, the range of the measurements and design criteria for the instruments.

The enclosed draft guide also incorporates the applicable recommendations in NUREG-0578 "TMI-2 Lessons Learned Task Force Status Report and Short-Term Recommendations."

The proposed Revision 2 of this guide will have a significant impact on the design of plants such as yours that are currently under review for an operating license. Therefore, we are requesting early comments on proposed Revision 2 from applicants for these plants. We have arranged meetings in Bethesda, Maryland to discuss these comments. We will meet with nine applicants for pressurized water reactors on December 13, 1979 and with five applicants for boiling water reactors on December 14, 1979.
