UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555
@pe ]. 8 1S85 MEMORANDUM FOR:
Chairman Palladino Commissioner Roberts Commissioner Asselstine Commissioner Bernthal Commissioner Zech FROM:
SUBJECT:
William J. Dircks Executive Director for Operations DIABLO CANYON UNIT 2 LICENSING SCHEDULE - NEED FOR EFFECTIVFNESS REVIEW Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG8E) informed the staff, in a letter dated January 31, 1985, that Diablo Canyon Unit 2 should be ready to load fuel by the end of March 1985.
The staff's review of licensing issues and allegations is continuing.
On March 14, we issued Supplement No.
29 to the Diablo Canyon Safety Evaluation Report which addresses design verification as it relates to Unit 2.
In the near future, we expect to issue Supplemental Safety Evaluation Reports (SSERs) which will address (I) the resolution of all of the allegations received before July 31,
- 1984, and the resolution or status of all allegations received before January 31, 1985, with respect to Units I and 2 and (2) all of the other pertinent licensing issues.
Allegations received after January 31, 1985 will be screened by the staff prior to issuance of any operating license and will be addressed in a subsequent SSER.
In September 1981, the Commission amended 10 CFR 2.764 to el.iminate the need for Commission review of licensing board decisions to the extent of allowing plant fuel load and operation up to five percent of rated power (46 FR 47764, September 30, 1981).
However, in taking this action, the Commission specifically noted, in the accompanying Statement of Considerations, that such procedures would not apply to cases like Diablo Canyon where the licensing decision was issued before the effective date of the, amendment (September 23, 1981).
Board decisions issued before that date which authorize the issuance of a low power operating license are to be reviewed by the Commission before becoming effective, in accordance with the Commission s amendment to 10 CFR 2.764 effective on May 28,
- 1981, (46 FR 28627).
This is in addition to the effectiveness review required prior to the issuance of a full power license.
In referring to Diablo Canyon, the Commission did not distinguish between Units I and 2; an effectiveness review by the Commission appears, therefore, to be required prior to issuance of an operating license authorizing fuel load and low power testing up to 5X of.rated. power for Unit 2.

The Commissioners The Commission performed an effectiveness review in September 1981, in connection with the issuance of a low power license for Unit 1 (CLI-81-22, 14 NRC 598).
The Commission's full power effectiveness review for Unit 1 was completed in August 1984 (CLI-84-13, 20 NRC 267).
The staff does not believe that there is any significant, difference in the units relative to the effect-iveness review factors set forth in 10 CFR 52.764.
This should facilitate the Commission's effectiveness review.
Similarly, the staff believes that the Unit 2 allegation-related matters and other pertinent licensing issues on which it is completing its review are, in general, of the same nature as those previously reviewed in connection with Unit 1, on which the Commission was briefed.
Therefore, the staff does not believe that any further briefing on these matters is necessary
- and, upon completion of the Commission's effectiveness
- review, we are prepared to issue a low-power license for Diablo Canyon Unit 2 as soon we have has established that all other matters are satisfactorily resolved.
