Dear Sir:

j Attached please find the supplement al inforr'a tion as indicated in ny letter to you dated May 18, 1979, which subnittect our response to Iten 13 of IE Eulletin 79-06A, Revision 1.

The attached table sun-narizes the description and inplementation schedule of design nodifi-cations at the Trojan I!uclear Plant as a result of the prelininary review of the T'!I accident.

The inplementation schedule described in the table represents our best estiration t> date based on available naterial delivery dates and the Trojan plant operational schedule.

A review of the Administrative Section of the Trojan Technical Speci-fications is currently undetvay.

Sone possible organizational changes have been' identified and are bein;; further reviewed and evaluated. This additional review and evaluation should be cenpleted within 60 days.

Should some of these organizational changes be desirable or necessary, a request for a license amendnent will be submitted within 30 days after completion of the review or by mid-October 1979.

Our survey and evaluation of nanagement end technical resources in response to Harold Denton's letter of June 29, 1979 will supplenent our current review and will be submitted to you by July 30, 1979.

In addition, a sufficiently high priority has been given for reviewing the Radiological Energency Response Plan (RF.RP) in light of the TMI 7909040 2 2 O
