a 0CT 311980,;
Mr. Gerry Smida Vs. Diana Leishman 3006 Smith Grade Santa Cruz, California 95060 Dear Mr. Smida and Ns. Leishman:
Thank you,for your March 1979 letter in which you expressed a concern about the licensing of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in light of the accident at the Three Nile Island facility.
Let me assure you that the HRC has reacted positively'to improve the safety of all nuclear power plants in operation and under construction based on the lessons learned from the Three Nile Island accident.
Based on the findings of the President's Corrmission on the accident (The Kemeny Cormission), the recommendations of the Special Inquiry Group directed by Mitche'll Rogovin, recorrmendations developed by internal NRC special, task forces, and recommendations from other sources including the Advisory Corrmittee on Reactor Safeguards, a comprehensive NRC Action Plan (NUREG-0660) developed as a result of the Tt~I-2 accident, was prepared and published in May 1980.
Consistent with HRC Coamission guidance, the HRC staff is requiring all applicants for new operating licenses to modify the design and operation-of their nuclear plants to conform to TNI-related requirements.
HUREG-0694, published in June
- 1980, identified these requirements and provided a schedule by which they must be implemented.
)
Me have re-examined the Diablo Canyon facility for conformance to the NUREG-0694 requirements as they apply to fuel loading and low power testing and on'August 6, 1980 issued our safety evaluation on these matters.
Before the HRC staff can issue a license to 'load fuel and conduct
'low power (below 5 percent) tests, all of these requirements must he met, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board for Diablo Canyon must rule favorably, and the HRC Commission itself will review the record.
A copy of the Kemeny Commission and Rogovin reports,
- HUREGs, as well as other licensing documents, correspondence and Board proceedings can be found in the Local Public Document Room (LPDR) maintained f'r Diab'lo Canyon.
This LPDR is located at the California Polytechnic State lJniversity Library, Documents and Maps Department, San Luis Obispo, California 93407.
I trust that this information is responsive to your request.
Sincerely,
/s/
Frank Hiraglja, Acting Chief Licensing Branch No.
