Dear t'r. Jurgenson:
By letter dated April 9, 1981 (OG-56) you proposed a schedule for the develop-r'ent and implementation of emergency procedures and training for station blackout.
Based on your proposal, generic guidelines would be submitted by Septe-'ber 1, 1981, for our review and approval, and implementation at operating:
reactors would occur by their first refueling outage after January 1, 1982.
On this schedule, implementation of revised Emergency Operating Procedures and operator training could be as late as mid-1983.
Based on our review of ALAB-603 we have determined that some action regarding station blackout should be taken as soon as possible.
Therefore, we consider your. proposed approach and schedule unacceptable.
E In a presentation to the staff on June 18, 1981, the 1"estinghouse Owners'roup indicated that the "optimal recovery guidelines" (CRG) will be com-pleted by October 20, 1981.
t'e recommend that you complete
.he ORG for station blackout as soon as possible so that individual o'wners may use it in developing interim procedures and training for station blackout events.
Due to the short time remaining for implementation of interim station blackout procedures, submittal of the ORG for NRC review is not required prior to implementation.
After September 1981, the Office of Inspection and Enforcement will verify that interim procedures, covering the issues described in Generic Letter 81-04,.are in place.
For the long term, this issue should be included in the development of the revised en ergency operating procedure guidelines and the upgraded procedures that are being prepared in response to THI Action Plan Item I.C. 1, as clarified in NUREG-0737, Item I.C.l, Sincerely, Division of Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
