Dear Nr. White1 By letter dated.triarch 18, 1977, you provided a detailed evaluation of the

.potential consequences of a postul'ated fuel handling accident inside con-tainment at the R. E. Ginna plant.

We have reviewed your analysis and have determined that the assumptions used for the ana'lysis are comparable with the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.25 and justified by the quality of the equipment on which you rely.

For us to conclude that the potential consequences of this postulated accident are appropriately within the guidelines of 10 CFR Part 100 (i.e., less than 100 rem thyroid), we must use your assumption that fuel would not be removed from the reactor vessel within 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> of shutdown.

This assumption'is not based on limits in

<he R. E. Ginna Technical Specifications.

We request that you either confirm your assumption (including a listing of the mandatory steps between shutdown and initiation of refueling, and the minimum time requiredfor each step)- or propose a technical specification, within 60 days of the date of this letter, incorporating this limit.

Sincerely, OripinM1 st~"o~
