U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, D.C. 20555 Attn: T. E. Hurley February 18, 1988

Dear Dr. Murley:

This letter is in response to Generic Letter (GL) 88-02, dated January 20, 1988 on the Integrated Safety Assessment: Program II.

On the GL 88-02 Respo'nse Format, attached to'.,this letter, we have

'marked item 2, "We believe that an industry/NRC,seminar ~

consistin'g of a brief disc'ussion by NRC followed by a question and answer period would be beneficial prior to making a decision."

We have reviewed GL 88-02 carefully and we are conducting a further study of all the ramifications of an ISAP II. The cost of implementing the ISAP II is a concern. We are now in the final stages of completing many of the post-Three Mile Island and Salem ATWS-related requirements'hese projects have been expensive, and, when coupled with our own improvements such as the Steam Generator Replacement project, have placed a great burden on the consumer in the cost of generated power.

We appreciate the fact that commitment: to ISAP II would ameliorate the impact of the Individual Plant Evaluation (IPE).

However, since the specific requirements for an IPE have not yet been established, we are unable to evaluate the practical and cost benefit of participating in an ISAP II versus confining our immediate efforts to performing an IPE.

Therefore, until we can complete our evaluation of the, most prudent course for us to follow, we 'respectfully. decline participation in the ISAP 'II starting in 1988.

1. Would you be interested in participating in ISAP II?, If so, ir. what time frame?

We are conducting a study on the benefits and cost of ISAP II.

2. Oo you believe that an industry/NRC seminar consisting of a brief discuss. on by NRC followed by a question and answer period would be beneficial prior to making a decision?

Yes we would be interested in a seminar prior to making a final decision on future participation.

3. Would you be interested in a one-on-one meeting with the NPC to discuss your particular facility or facilities?

A one-on-one meeting with the NRC to discuss the Cook Nuclear Plant specifics would be vital.

4. If you remain undecided regarding participation, what additional information do you need in order to make a decision?

As indicated in the cover letter, additional information concerning essential. IPE requirements, and how ISAP II would fulfillthese requirements, is

5. Oo you have any potential concerns about participating ir !SAP II?

We are especially concerned with a cost-benefits analysis.

6. Oo you have any suggesticrs for program improvements or changes?

None at. this time.
