DEC,' C 'U78 Docket No. STN 50-470 Mr. P. L. McGill, Vice-President Comercial Department Combustion Engineering, Inc.
1000 Prospect Hill Road Windsor, Connecticut 06095
Dear Mr. McGill:
SUBJECT:
EXTENSION OF APPROVAL TERM FOR PDA-2 The Comission'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 yea rs. This provision applies to PDA-2 issued for the CESSAR System 80 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 P. L. McGill, dated October 19, 1978. Your response to these matters was provided in Appendix A to the CESSAR FSAR.
Said appendix was transmitted with the A. E. Scherer to C. J. Heltemes, Jr. letter dated October 20,1978, and Amendments 1 and 2 thereto were transmitted with the A. E. Scherer to C. J. Heltemes, Jr. letters dated December 7,1978 and December 20, 1978, respectively.
In our letter of October 19, 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 would administratively extend PDA-2 for two additional years, subject to later staff acceptance of your proposed resolution for the applicable Category II, III and IV matters.
7901080 M
Mr. P. L. McGill Based on our review of Appendix A to the CESSAR FSAR, we conclude that your responses to the PDA extension review matters are complete. Accordingly, we have amended PDA-2 to reflect the new expiration date, December 31, 1980. We have also included as part of the amendment to PDA-2 a condition that resolu-tion of the applicable Category I, II, III and iV mi.tters is required for any utility applicant referencing the CESSAR System 80 design in a construction permit application filed after December 31, 1978. We will initiate such a review as soon as we are informed by a utility-applicant that it intends to reference the CESSAR System 80 design.
Such a review would be scheduled for completion prior to the tendering of the utility application. Copies of Amendment No. 1 to PDA-2, and a related notice which is being forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication are enclosed for your information and use.
We will advise you of the Commission's decision whether a fee will be associated with the technical review of the applicable Category I, II, III and IV matters, as discussed above, as soon as it becomes available.
If you require any clarification of the matters discussed in this letter, please contact the staff's assigned licensing project manager.
