Dear Mr. Ray:

SUBJECT:
SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT NO. 1 (TAC NO. 76418)
We are currently reviewing your request dated March 23, 1990, for an exemption from the schedule requirements of 10 CFR 55.45(b)(2) for certification of your plant-referenced simulator. The additional information identified in the enclosure is needed to continue our review. Because this is a sensitive issue and our actions could affect your future plans, you are requested to provide your response within 15 days of your receipt of this letter.
As a separate matter, by letter dated May 26, 1988, you submitted your plan to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 55.45. As discussed in that submittal, you originally planned to use a simulation facility to satisfy the 10 CFR 55.45(b)(1) requirement for administering the operating test. Currently, it is our under standing that you plan to use a plant-referenced simulator to satisfy the 10 CFR 55.45(b)(1) requirement and that we should disregard your May 26 submittal.
In addition to providing the information requested by the enclosure, please verify that our understanding regarding this matter is correct.
The reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements contained in this letter affect fewer than ten respondents; therefore, OMB clearance is not required under Pub. L.96-511.
Please contact us if you should have any questions regarding this request.
Sincerely,
/s/

ENCLOSURE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RE:
SAN ONOFRE UNIT 1 PLANT REFERENCE SIMULATOR EXEMPTION REQUEST:
- 1. The Commonwealth Edison Company is currently procuring a new simulator to replace the existing Zion simulator. Please describe the effect this will have on your continued use of the Zion simulator.
- 2. The specific duration of the exemption from the certification filing deadline of 10 CFR 55.45(b)(2)(iii) which you are requesting is not clear. Please provide the specific date by which you plan to submit your simulation facility certification.
- 3. To what extent could the following options expedite simulator certification? What would be the additional cost associated with each?
- a. Preparation of the certification submittal in parallel with the simulator construction;
- b. Extensive use of operations personnel in the simulator construction and testing so that they will become familiar with the new facility more quickly;
- c. Reduction of the 30-month construction time which is longer than the current average construction time of 29 months;
- d. Submission of your certification prior to incorporation of the CRDR modifications, or if the scope of these modifications is known, incorporating them during the initial simulator construction. (Note that ANSI/ANS-3.5 1985 allows up to 30 months after the simulator operational date to incorporate modifications.)
- 4. What is the most aggressive schedule that could be pursued by SCE for simulator certification? How much time could be saved? What would be the additional cost?
