SUBJECT:
FOLLOW-UP TO THE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING GENERIC LETTER 92-08 ISSUED PURSUANT TO 10 CFR 50.54(f)
ON DECEMBER 20, 1993 TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 (TAC NOS.
H85616 AND M85617)
Dear Hr. Goldberg:
We have reviewed your letter dated February 7,
- 1994, which responded to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's request for additional information regarding Generic Letter 92-08, "Thermo-Lag 330-1 Fire Barriers."
Portions of your response that were either deferred or specified the use of a performance-based
- approach, which is not being pursued by the staff, require updating.
Therefore, we request that you revise your response to our December 20, 1993, letter.
In a Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) of June 27,
- 1994, "Options for Resolving the Thermo-Lag Fire Barrier Issues,"
the Commission (with all Commissioners agreeing) approved the NRC staff recommendation to return plants to compliance with existing NRC requirements and to permit plant-specific exemptions where technically justified.
In addition, in the SRM, the Commission approved the staff recommendation not to proceed with the development of a, performance-based approach to resolve the Thermo-Lag issue.
By letter dated August 11,
- 1994, we informed you that we did not plan to review your performance-based approach.
Your February 7,
- 1994, response indicated that you were awaiting the final results of the industry test program in order to determine your'inal plans and schedules.
The industry Thermo-Lag fire endurance test program has been completed and the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) has provided guidance to the industry for evaluating Thermo-Lag fire barriers.
The NRC staff will review the application of the NEI guide on a plant-specific basis.
You are now required to submit the information specified in the 10 CFR 50.54(f) 'letter for those areas where you stated that you were relying on the results of the NEI program.
The information submitted for the following sections was either deferred or referenced a performance-based approach:
Section II, "Important Barrier Parameters";
Section III, "Thermo-Lag Fire Barriers Outside the Scope of the NUMARC,Program";Section IV "Ampacity Derating";Section V, "Alternatives";
Section VI, "Schedules,"
You are required, pursuant to Section 182a of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
- amended, and 10 CFR 50.54(f), to submit a
written report that contains the required information within 90 days from the 9'409260109 940919 PDR ADOCK DSOD0250 P
PDR c20049 Imp PIlLI-'KEIICSI'V gP)I 'o
Hr. J.H.
Goldberg date of this letter.
Please retain all information and documentation used to prepare your response on site for future NRC audits or inspections.
Our August 9, 1994, letter regarding this issue for your St. Lucie facility provided additional background information including guidance on exemptions.
We are reviewing your June 15,
- 1994, exemption request concerning the use of Thermo-Lag fire barrier's in outdoor fire areas at Turkey Point and have established a target date of March 15, 1995, to complete our review.
The information collection contained in this request is covered by the Office of Management and Budget clearance number 3150-0011, which expires July 31, 1997.
The public reporting burden for this collection of information is covered by the original estimate and previous increase, which totaled 420 person-hours for each addressee's
- response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
- needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Information and Records Management Branch (T-6 F33),
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202 (3150-0011),
Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
There are unresolved technical issues regarding ampacity derating.
- However, it is the staff's view'that these issues can be resolved independently of the fire endurance issues.
We acknowledge that previous schedular commitments may be modified by your revised response.
If you have any questions about this
- matter, please contact R.P.
Croteau at (301) 504-1475 or Edward Connell at (301) 504-2838.
