Dear Mr. Maier:
I CV r
~OI>
Me have completed our review of your letter dated January 26, 1981, in which you requested an extension of the completion dates for several items related to fire protection at the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant.
The incomplete items at Ginna, including those for which you requested extension.
can be divided into four groups, as follows:
I.
Items approved in the Fire Protection Safety Evaluation (FPSE) dated February 14, 1979, and for which you have requested extension of the completion dates.
3.1.1 Fire Detection Systems 3.1.2 Mater Suppression Systems,,and Equipment 3.1.3 Gas Suppression Systems and Equipment 3.1.5 Fire Doors 3.1.7 Mater Spray Shields 3.1.8 Fire Barriers 3.1.9 Fire Dampers 3.1.12 Fire Alarms 3.1.19 Diesel Room Mater Suppression System 3.1.37 Fire Dampers 3.1.39 Reactor Coolant Pump Lube Oil Collection System 3.1.42 Signaling Circuits Supervision 3.1.49 Kitchen Area 3.2.3 Relay Room Halon System Test II. Items approved by FPSE Supplement

In support of your request for extension of the completion dates, you indicated that you had proceeded in accordance with the completion dates originally established in the FPSE of February 14, 1979, including the granting of overtime for both design and construction efforts.
-You also noted the schedule changes mandated by the recent revisions to 10 CFR 50, which would require) that all modifications already approved by NRC should have been completed within one year of such approval.
Further, you quoted from the NRC staff's February 14, 1979 FPSE that (emphasis yours):
"the o eration of the facilit endin resolution of the incom ete tems an t e m
ementat on of al ac 1 t modifications oes not resent an undue risk to the ealth an safet of the public base on our concurrence with the Browns Ferry Special Review Group's conclusions identified above, as well as the si nificant im rovements
.in fire rotection alread made at the facilit since the Browns Ferry fire.
These nclude esta shment of adminis-trative controls over combustible materials and use of ignition sources, training and staffing of a fire brigade, and issuance of technical specifications to provide limiting conditions for operation and surveillance requirements on fire protection systems."
Based on our review, we conclude that because you were working to a previous schedule that had been approved by the NRC staff and when you
- learned, upon the publication of the proposed 10 CFR 50.48, that the schedule would have to be shortened, you expedited the design.

there is good cause for extending the completion date for the Items listed in Group I above to June 30, 1981,,
and that the public health and safety is not adversely affected by such extension.
