JUL C 9 1331 Mr. liobert W. Jurgenson, Chari man Westir,ghouse 01*:ners 1 Group American Electric Pcwer Service Corporation 2 Broadway r:ew York, New York 10004

Dear Mr. Jurgenson:

By letter dated April 9, 1981 (OG-56) you proposed a schedule for the develop-

~ent and implementation of emergency procedures and training for station

-bl~c~out. Eased on jour proposal, generic guidelines would. be submitted by Septe;-:-.ber 1, 1981, for our reviev,r 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 ALAE-603 we have determined that some action regarding ~tation blackout should be taken as soon as possible.

Therefore, we consider your proposed approach and schedule unacceptable.

In ? presen!ation to the staff on June 18, 1981, the Westinghouse Owners' Group indicated. that the "optimal recovery guidelines" (ORG) will b.e com-pleted by October 20, 1981.

We recoramend that you complete the ORG for station blackout as soon as possible so that individual ~wners rniy use it in develo~ing interim procedures and training for station blackout events.

Due to the short time remaining for implementation of interim station blackoµt 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 Gener~c Letter 81-04, are in.place.

For the long term, this issue should be included in the development of the revised e~ergency operating procedure guidelines.

and the upgraded procedures that are being prepared in response to TMI Action Plan Item I.C.l, as clarified in tWREG-0737, Item I.C.l.

Sincerely, Q~~--0_*
