E AUGUST 24 M

,p Occket No. 50-334 Mr. C. N. Dunn, Vice President Operations Division Duquesne Light Company 435 Sixth Avenue Pittsburgh, Penn:ylvania 15219

Dear Mr. Dunn:

In May 1976, we issued guidelines reflecting the.RC's policy regarding the implementation of General Design Criterion 3 - Fire Protection.

Since that time, you have performed a fire hazards analysis for yn>

facility and have compared its fire protection program with the NRC guidel ines.

In late 1976, we set October 1980 as the date for completing the implementat. ion of all modifications associated with this program. This implementation schedule recognized that such modificatiins should be completed as soon as practical, with due consideration t f the nature of the modifications.

For example, minor modificatiom, idoption of administrative controls and additional portable equpment would be completed within six months; hcwever, major modifications would require a year or more to complete and some modifications would be coordiaated with refueling outages.

By their Memorandum and Order in the matter of the Union of Concerned Scientists' Petition for Emergency and Remedial Action, dated April 13, 1978, the Commission directed the staff to use their best efforts to maintain this schedule, and also directed that the Commission be advised if any slippage is anticipated, alcng with suggested corrective actions.

We urge you to apply your best efforts to improve your schedules for completion of as many of the fire protection modifications at your facility as possible prior to October 1980 and to submit on an expedited basis any infomation that is still outstanding with regard to open items and required design details.

Sjncerely,

\\
