1990 Docket No. 50-397 Mr. G. C; Sorensen, Manager Regulatory Programs Washington Public Power Supply System P.O.

Box 968 George Washington Way

Richland, Washington 99352

Dear Mr. Sorensen:

SUBJECT:

EVALUATION OF JCO REGARDING STANDBY GAS TREATMENT SYSTEM ATTAINMENT OF SECONDARY CONTAINMENT PRESSURE (TAC NO. 75048)

By letter dated September 29, 1989 (G02-89-176) you identified a concern for WNP-2 with respect to establishing secondary containment pressure under certain circumstances.

You provided a justification for continued operation (JCO) while resolution of the concern is being pursued.

We have reviewed your submittal and have concluded that sufficient justification has been provided to allow continued operation for a short time.

However, there are two additional items which should be provided to NRC for evaluation to allow operation until final resolution is accomplished.

Within thirty days of receipt of this letter, provided the program plan for resolution, including a schedule for all significant milestones.

Secondly, we believe that additional testing is necessary to verify both the SGT fan capacity and the secondary containment in-leakage.

A meeting between your staff and NRC staff has been scheduled for January 16, 1990.

These two items should be addressed at that meeting.

The enclosed SER provides the basis for these findings.

Sincerely, original signed by Robert B. Samworth, Senior Project Manager Project Directorate V
