REVIEW OF

RESPONSE

TO GENERIC LETTER 88-20, SUPPLEMENT NO. 4 INDIVIDUALPLANT EXAMINATIONS FOR EXTERNAL EVENTS, SUS(UEHANNA STEAN ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1

AND 2 (TAC NOS.

M74478 AND 74479)

Supplement 4 to Generic Letter 88-20 was issued on June 28, 1991, to require each licensee and each Construction Permit holder to conduct an individual plant examination of external events (IPEEE).

Guidance was provided with the generic letter supplement in the form of NUREG-1407, "Procedural and Submittal Guidance for the Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) for Severe Accident Vulnerabilities."

The supplement requested a 180-day response (December 26, 1991) that would (1) identify the method and approach selected for the

IPEEE, (2) describe the method to be used if it has not previously been submitted for staff review, and (3) identify the milestones and schedule for performing the IPEEE and submittal of the results to the NRC.

Licensees were requested in the supplement to submit the IPEEE results to the NRC for review by June 27,

1994, (3 years after issuance of the supplement) to ensure that the intent of the Commission's Severe Accident Policy Statement will be met by mid-1995.

We have reviewed your letter dated December 20, 1991, submitted in response to Generic Letter 88-20, Supplement 4.

We find that your IPEEE submittal schedule and selected methods are acceptable.

Please inform us of any changes in either the schedule or methodology.

I Sincerely,

/S/
