f
? Y An erroneous impression is given by the
~
ANSI /ANS 56.8-1981 has not yet been endorsed by the NR' i
h-4s tegg la-tory guide program.
Therefore, instead of "no longer a basis", it is i
"not yet a basis" for licensing acceptance of containment leak rate tests.
a)
Current criteria are:
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, " Primary Reactor Containment Leakage Testing for Water-Cooled Power Reactors", and each plant's Technical Specifications.
b)
The organizations involved in ILR testing are aware of these criteria.
2.
As you were promised, your non proprietary correspondence, including " Critique of Containment System Leakage Test Requirements" has been filed in the Public Document Room.
It is available there for public review.
Further action by the NRC is not appropriate until completion of the pending review by the NRC of your comments and recommendations.
in question 2 will not be taken at this time.For this reason, the action you request Meanwhile, however, since your material is on file in the Public Document Room, anyone interested can review it, and decide for themselves whether, and to what degree, they wish to act on it.
In addition, your comments will be handled in the normal manner for public comments received in conjunction with an NRC review of a national standard.
They will be considered during the review, and copies of all public comments received will be sent to all commentors following the official public com-ment period on the draf t regulatory guide addressing that standard.
3.
As stated, your critique of ANSI /ANS 56.8-1981 is in the Public Document Room, and will be handled in accnrdance with normal NRC review practice.
No other commitments have been made regarding its distribution.
The NRC mailir.gs you request are not appropriate, as noted above.
