This letter is to inform the NRC that APS has completed this assessment and has implemented the appropriate cost-effective programmatic enhancements to provide severe accident management capability.

Implementation of these enhancements included:

Events, 2) incorporation of the appropriate ABB-CE generic SAMG into PVNGS-specific procedures, 3) providing an interface between the PVNGS SAMG and the PVNGS Emergency

Plan, 4) incorporating the PVNGS SAMG into the appropriate training

programs, and 5) developing appropriate administrative controls for maintaining and evaluating the PVNGS SAMG program.

This letter does not make any commitments to the NRC. Please contact Scott A. Bauer at (602) 393-5978 ifyou have any questions or require additional information.
