Dear Mr. Farrar:
December 29, 1993
SUBJECT:
SAFETY EVALUATION FOR PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS FOR COMMONWEALTH EDISON'S GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN ANNEXES (TAC NOS. M87325, M87326, M87327, M87328, M87329, M87330, M87331, M87332, M87333, M87334, M87335, AND M87336)
By *1ette*r dated September 1, 1993, as supplemented by letters dated October 1, 1993, November 30, 1993, December 17, December 21, and December 23, 1993, Commonwealth Edison Company (CECo) submitted proposed changes to the emergency action levels (EALs) for the Generating Station Emergency Plan (GSEP) Annexes.
They were reviewed against the guidance in NUMARC/NESP-007, Rev. 2, "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels."
NUMARC/NESP-007 has been endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.101, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Reactors," as an alternative means by which licensees can meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4}. and Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50.
We have completed our review of the submittals and concluded that with the exception of the departures from the NUMARC guidance that were identified and accepted~ the revised EALs are consistent with the guidance in NUMARC/NESP-007, and therefore, meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b}(4) and Appendix £ to 10 CFR Part 50.
With one exception, all EALs will be implemented by January 1, 1994.
The exceptio~ is the inclusion of an EAL for evaluation of the Fuel Clad and Fission Product Barrier Matrix which will be implemented by March 23, 1994.
For the Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier condition, CECo committed to add an additional Threshold Value to account for the condition when the n5nn~**1c!
