1 May 15, 1980 SECY-80-238B COMMISSIONER ACTION F_or:

The Comissioners From:

James R. Shea, Director Office of International Programs Thru:

Acting Executive Director for Operations M M # D-

Subject:

COMPONENT EXPORTS TO TARAPUR (XCOM0240, XCOM0376, XCOM0381 ANDXCOM0395)

Purpose:

To (1) recommend the consolidation of three additional componcnt cases with the fuel and component cases covered by SECY-80-238, and (2) provide the Commission with a request by General Electric to amend application XCOM0240.

Discussion:

In SECY-80-238, the staff provided its recommendations with respect to four pending fuel and component export license applications for the Tarapur Atomic Power Station in India.

l Subsequently, on May 13, the Executive Branch provided its final views on three additional component applications i

(XCOM0376, XCOM0381 and XCOM0395), which are attached at Appendix A.

These additional cases were discussed at the Comission meeting on Tarapur on May 13, during which the staff recomended and Comission agreed that the new cases be consolidated for the purposes of Comission review with the other cases covered in SECY-80-238.

The staff notes that an analysis of the safety significance of l

}

the components covered by XCOM03h and XCOM0381 was contained in our May 8 memorandum to Comissioner Ahearne, which is attached at Appendix B.

A similar analysis has not been prepared with respect to XCOM0395, but it is the staff's view that the considerations in this case are similar to those with respect to XCOM0376, in that similar pump components are involved.

(While the memorandum to Chairman Ahearne also addressed XCOM0377, the Executive Branch chose not to recommend approval of this case in view of the applicant's requested 10-year eviration date).

l As a final matter, we are attaching at Appendix C a request by General Electric to amend application XCOM0240. We have discussed this amendment request with the Executive Branch and

j have been informed that it will not be necessary to obtain revised Executive Branch views with respect to this amendment request (i.e. the June 11, 1979 Executive Branch views on XCOM0240 are fully applicable to the amended application).

1.
