s 1.

What is the shape of the proposed rule - i.e., specified hardware, criteria for hardware, what?

2.

How would the resulting hardware and degree of protection differ from making ATWS a DBA' not to exceed Part 100 guidelines?

3.

The thrust of this question is,would the proposed rule make ATWS an incredible event - specifically: is the 10-6 per RY estimate of probability conservative as opposed to realistic?

4.

How do the probabilities in Appendix F apply to:

a.

operating plants before Dresden 2 (Class 1)?

b.

CP's before January 1,1978 (Classes 2 and some 3)?
