Units I and 2

SUMMARY

OF OCTOBER 30, 1996 MEETING TO DISCUSS INSTALLATION OF ON-SITE STORAGE FACILITY FOR SPENT FUEL AT SSES, UNITS I AND 2 On October 30, 1996 a management meeting was held between members of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR), Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NESS),

and Pennsylvania Power

& Light Company (PP&L or the licensee) to discuss the licensee's plans for design and installation of a new on-site storage facility for spent fuel at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station located in Berwick, Pennsylvania.

Enclosure I is a list of the meeting attendees.

The first part of the meeting was a presentation by PP&L staff about PP&L's design control process, a discussion of the spent fuel storage

design, public involvement and quality assurance oversite of the design process, plans for implementation, project organization, and the strategy for implementation.

Enclosure 2 is a set of the slides outlining the details of.the discussions.

Other key items discussed were that 13 procedures are in draft form now with the remainder expected to be completed in draft by the end of the year.

The approved procedures would then be "dry runned" and also evaluated at the Davis Besse site when its procedures are being implemented.

PP&L also emphasized that it will maintain its vigilance over the project and considers the work to be as important as a safety-related modification to the plant.

Also, it was stated that the licensee was developing detailed design basis documentation which would be developed for the project.

During the second part of the meeting, the NNSS staff provided a discussion of the status of pending regulatory guidance regarding Part 72 licensing.

Specifically new inspection procedures are being issued, a draft Standard Review Plan (SRP) section is to be issued in January for general license

reviews, a site-specific license SRP is expected to be issued in draft for comments soon and transportation and dual purpose license SRP sections are also under development.

Other industry issues were mentioned for consideration including the quality of concrete aggregate in the storage

modules, the use of thermal heat shield paint in the casks, and American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code and testing requirement development.
