Mr. A. E. Scherer OCT 2 S 1979 We cannot at this time establish a meaningful schedule for our safety review of 4 % CESSAR-FSAR; however, as soon as we can develop such a schedule, you wini ce advised of the key milestones. This inability to develop a schedule notwithstanding, you should respond to the outstanding questions (i.e., the round zero questions issued with our letter tc you dated March 23,1979) by amending the CESSAR-FSAR to address these matters as soon as practical.
In addition, although not previously mentioned in any correspor.dence related to the CESSAR-FSAR, subsequent amendments to the CESSAR-FSAR should address intersystem leakage detection, including leakage detection sensitivities, response times, alarm provisions and details of means for detecting intersystem leakage.
If, during the course of our review, you believe there is a need to appeal a staff' position, this need should be brought to the staff's~ attention as early as possible so that appropriate meetings can be arranged on a timely basis. A written request is not necessary and all such requests should be initiated through our staff project manager assigned to your application.
This procedure is an informal one, designed to allow opportunity for appli-cants to discuss, with management, areas of disagreement in the case review.
Sincerely, w w/
D. B. Vassallo, Acting Director Division of Project Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 1320 080 P
