SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF MEETINGS TO DISCUSS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THE TMI-2 ACCIDENT ON PILGRIM, UNIT 2 Meetings were held on July 20, 1979 and July 24-25, 1979 in Bethesda, Maryland with representatives of the applicant. The meetings were held at the applicant's request to discuss the safety implications of TMI-2. The attendees for July 20, 1979 meeting are listed in Enclosure 1.
The attendees for the July 24-26, 1979 meeting are listed in Enclosure 2.
The meetings are summarized as follows.
July 20, 1979 Meeting The applicant reaffirmed its intent to proceed with its construction permit application for Pilgrim, Unit 2 and wanted to know what would be required, concerning TMI-2 impact, in order to reach a decision with regard to a permit.
We stated that there are four task force efforts 3 progress regarding TMI-2 impact (i.e.; Lessons Learned, Bulletins and Orders, Emergency Pre-paredness and Operator Training). The Lessons Learned Task Force recently published NUREG-0578, "TMI-2 Lessons Learned Task Force Status Report and Short-Term Recommendations", dated July,1979, which recommended a number of short-term measures for providing additional protection to public health and sa fety. The Bulletins and Orders Task Force effort is directed toward assuring the continued safe operation of operating reactm.
Efforts in both emergency preparedness and operetor training are also primarily directed toward improving these areas for operating reactors.
We recommended the following actions in order to proceed with our review of Pilgrim, Unit 2 on TMI-2 related matters. With regard to lessons Learned, the applicant should provide an appropriate commitment to the recommenda-tions of the task force presented in NUREG-0578.

. SEP 5 1979 For Bulletins and Orders, we stated that the applicant should meet with the Task Force to determine if any requirements have been established by this effort which need to be addressed at the construction permit stage of review. We stated that similar discussicns should be held in the area of Emergency Preparedness.
In this regard, the applicant was told that the development of its emergency plan should consider protective measures up to a distance of ten miles. With regard to Operator Training, we stated that we do not anticipate that this Task Force would result in any requirements that would require construction permit applications to address this matter further.
Therefore, we agreed to hold a fo' low-on meeting (which was held on July 24-26, 1979) with the applicant and NRC staff members, including representatives from the three Task Forces on Lessons Learned, Bulletins and Orders, and Emergency Planning, to more clearly define any additional requirements for the Pilgrim, Unit 2 application in these areas.
July 24-26,1979 Meeting The followinc discussion summarizes the matters discussed at the follow-on meeting.
Lessons Learned We requested that the applicant provide a commitment to comply with the applicable recommendations of NUREG-0578 and to inccrporate into the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) a detailed descriptio. of how conformance to these recommendations are met. We also requested that each recommendation be addressed individually, including identification of those which are not applicable to Pilgrim, Unit 2.
The applicant agreed to do so.
Bulletins and Orders, We stated that the requirements resulting from this Task Force for Combustion Engineering operating plants (i.e., a Pilgrim, Unit 2 type) are discussed in IE Bulletin No. 79-068, "Rview of Operational Errors and System Misalign-ments Identified During the Three Mile Island Incident", dated April 14, 1979.
Therefore, we requested that the applicant address each of the matters dis-cussed in IE Bulletin 79-068 and provide a commitment to incorporate them into the plant design as appropriate. We also requested that these matters be addressed individually. The applicant agreed to do so.
Emergency Planning We stated that the recommendations resulting from this Task Force for operating reactors and near-term operating license applications are discussed 1037
