DFC 2 21978 Docket No. STN 50-447 Dr. Glenn G. Sherwood, Manager Safety & Licensing Operation General Electric Company 175 Curtner Avenue San Jose, California 95125
Dear Dr. Sherwood:
SUBJECT:
EXTENSION OF APPROVAL TERM FOR PDA-1
]
The Commission's August 22, 1978 policy statement on standardization includes a provision for any Preliminary Design Approval (PDA) that had been previously issued for three years to be extended for two additional years. This provision applies to PDA-1 issued for the GESSAR-238 Nuclear Island application.
As set forth in the policy statement, each application for a PDA extension will be subject to an assessment of the design with respect to the Category I, II, III and IV matters approved for implementation since the regulatory requirements cutoff date for that PDA.
These matters were identified in a staff letter, R. Boyd to G. Sherwood, dated October 13, 1978.
Your response to these matters was provided in Amendments 46 and 47 to the GESSAR-238 Nuclear Island application trans-mitted in the letters G. Sherwood to H. Denton, dated November 30, 1978 and December 21, 1978 respectively.
In our letter of October 13, 1978, we noted that our review of your responses to these matters would be to determine if they were complete. We also noted that if we could determine that your responses were complete, we vould administratively extend PDA-1 for two additional years, subject to later staff acceptance of your proposed resolution for the applicable Category II, III and IV matters.
Based on our review of Amendments 46 and 47 to the GESSAR-238 Nuclear Island application, we conclude that your responses to the PDA extension review matters are complete. Accordingly, we have amended PDA-1 to reflect the new expiration date, December 22, 1980. We have also included as part of the amendment to PDA-1 a condition that resolution of the applicable Category I, II, III and IV matters is required for any utility applicant referencing the GESSAR-238 Nuclear Island design in a construction permit application filed after December 22, 1978. We will initiate such a review as soon as we are informed by a utility-applicant that it intends to reference the GESSAR-238 Nuclear Island design. Such a review would be scheduled for completion prior to the tendering of the u*dlity application. Copies of Amendment No. 2 to PDA-1, and a related notice which is being forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication are enclosed for your information and use.
