Dear Fr. Anderson:
SUBJECT:
EXTENSION OF APPROVAL TERM FOR PDA-7 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 years. This provision applies to PDA-7 issued for the RESAR-3S 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 cutof f date for that PDA.
These matters were identified in staff letters, R. Boyd to T. Anderson, and D. Vassallo to T. Anderson, dated Nover.ber 9,1978 and December 13, 1979, respectively. Your response to these matters was provided in Anendments 14 and 15 to the RESAR-3S application transmitted by letters T. Anderson to S. Varga, and T. Anderson to D. Vo.,3 allo, dated Decenber 15, 1978 and December 18, 1979, respectively.
In our letters, 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-7 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 14 and 15 to the RESAR-3S application, we conclude that your responses to the PDA extension review natters are conplete. Accordingly, we have amended PDA-7 to reflect the new expira-tion date, December 30, 1981. We have also included as part of the anend-cent to PDA-7 a condition that resolution of the applicable Category I, II, III, and IV matters and any additional licensing requirements resulting from our review of the accident at Three Mile Island, Unit 2 on March 28, 1979, is recuired for any utility-applicant referencing the RESAR-35 design in a construction permit application filed after Cecerber 30, 1979. We will initiate such a review after we are inforned by a utility-applicant that it intencs to reference the RESAR-35 cesign.
Such a review would be 1701 303 soo1csn c59
