'%.....,9 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DOCKET NO. STN 50-545 WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION REFERENCE SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT (RESAR-35 NUCLEAR STEAM SUPPLY SYSTEM STANDARD DESIGN)
NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF AMEN 0 MENT TO PRELIMINARY DESIGN APPROVAL 4
Notice is hereby given that the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC staff) has issued Amendment No. I to Preliminary Design Approval No. PDA-7, dated December 21, 1979, for the reference system design of a nuclear steam supply system portion of a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant as described in the Westinghouse Electric Corporation Reference Safety Analysis Report RESAR-3S and amendments thereto.
PDA-7 was issued by the NRC staff on December 30, 1976 for a three-year period.
Amendment No. I to PDA-7 extends its expiration date from December 30, 1979 to December 30, 1981. This change was made as a result of the Nuclear Regulatory Comission's August 1973 policy statement on standardization of
.uclear power plants which provided for an extension to five years of the effective terms for preliminary design approvals for reference system designs issued prior to the August 1973 policy statement.
Previously, the preliminary design approvals for nuclear steam supply system reference systen designs were set to terminate three years after issuance.

2 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's August 1978 policy statement identified certain matters that PDA holders would be required to address prior to the granting of PDA extensions. These matters were identified in NRC staff letters to the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, R. Boyd to T. Anderson, dated November 9,1978 and D. Vassallo to T. Anderson dated December 13, 1979. By letters dated December 15, 1978 and December 18, 1979, T. Anderson to S. Varga and T. Anderson to D. Vassallo, respectively, the Westinghouse Electric Corporation submitted Amendments 14 and 15 to the RESAR-3S application, which addressed each of these matters. The NRC staff has reviewed Arendments 14 and 15 for completeness and has concluded that the Westinghouse Electric Corporation has addressed each of these matters. The NRC staff considers this to be an acceptable basis for extending PDA-/ for two additional years.
If the NRC staff is informed by a utility-applicant that it intends to reference the RESAR-3S iLclear Steam Supply System design after Decenber 30, 1979, it will then perforn a detailed revie v of Amendments 14 and 15 and any additional licensing requirements resulting from our revira of the accident at Three Mile Island, Unit 2 on March 28, 1979 to assure thit each of the identified aatters has been acceptably resolved for the RESAR-35 uclear Steam Supply System design.
The NRC staff has implemented this procedure for 6 < tending PDA's, in consideration of the high degree of confidence it place; in reference systen designs for which PDA's have been issued.
This procedure permits the detailed review of the identified matters to be deferred on these designs until a utility-apelicant requirement for that review is identified.
1701 309
. Amendment No. I to PDA-7 is effective as of its date of issuance and shall expire on December 30, 1981, unless earlier superseded by issuance of a final design approval for the RESAR-3S Nuclear Steam Supply System design, or unless extended by the NRC staff.
The expiration of PDA-7, as amended, should not affect use of the RESAR-3S Nuclear Steam Supply System design for reference in any construction permit application docketed prior to such date.
A copy of Amendment No. I to PDA 'i dated December 21,1979 is available for puolic inspection at the Nuclear Regulatory Comission's Public Document Room at 1717 H Street, 4. W., tlashington, D. C. 20555.
