subject of alternate plant shutdown capability following a fire as discussed i
in Section !!!.G.3 of 10 CFR 50 Appendix R.
With the exception of three open i
issues as discussed below, the staff has concluded that the THI-1 provisions l
for alternate shutdown capability conform to the guidance in Generic Letter i

Ssecifications or equipment associated with alternate shutdown cap-l ability. The present staff position is that these TS are required. TMI-1 has no such TS. This issue is being pursued on a ger.eric basis as part of i
the TS Improvement Program. Therefore, this issue is likely to remain open pending completion cf the generic effort. The other two open issues irnolve overcurrent protection for associated circuits and are presently under review by the staff. The results of that review will be reported in a future letter i
to you.
