' Followup on McGuire Alert (March 7-8,.-1989)

Critique Action Items

Dear ' Sir :

After the March 7-8, 1989 event-at McGuiro Nuclear Station,.

)

I. identified: several. followup items in my April _ 4, 1989 letter' to you.

One of these. items involved whether to report small radioactive-releases that are well belowenormal operating limits.

On June 27, 1989 we - made a, proposal to state.and local officials regarding this and requested their comments.

Subsequently in your July 14, 1989 letter, you L,

-stated the NRC's position on thic matter. ' Af ter reviewing L'

your. letter. and' the commente by state and local officials, the following describes our plans'regarding tTis issue:

During a" declared emergency,. any quantifiable, unplanned radioactive releases associated with the event. which are j

within regulatory limits for normal plant-operation will'be reported on emergency notification forms and in press L

releases, putting Euch radioactive releases in proper l~

perspective in these communications.

l-I belf. eve this is consistent with your position as stated in your ocly 14, 1989 letter.

Please let us know if you have L

any questions or concerns regarding this matter.
