i Docket No. 50-409 SEPTE"BER 18 iS60 Mr. Frank Linder General Manager Dairyland Power Cooperative 2615 East Avenue South La Crosse, Wisconsin 54601
Dear Mr. Linder:
By letter dated July 27, 1979, the Cocnission issued Amendment No.17 to Provisional Operating License No. DPR-45 for the LaCmsse Boiling Water Reactor. This amendment added a license condition relating to the completion of facility modifications to improve the fire protection programs. Our enclosed Safety Evaluation Report for Amendment No.17 listed the Safe Shutdown Analysis as incomplete. By letter dated Seprtember 14, 1979 we provided to you our position entitled " Safe Shutdown Capability" and noted that Section 8 of that document specifies the information we require for our review of fire protec-tion capability. By letter dated January 17,1980 you submitted your analysis of safe shutdown capability.
The staff has utilized the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) to review your Safe Shutdown Report (1/17/S0). Based on that reviow, we have concluded that the fire protection features you have identi-fled are not sufficient to assure safe shutdown capability. The BNL report is enclosed for your information. To resolve the fire protection concerns for safe shutdown at your facility, we would find acceptable the installation of an alternate shutdown system that will meet the requirements of Section III, paragraph L of proposed Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50. Please be aware that other aspects of the Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) currently in progress may require installation of a dedicated safe shutdown system whichcoould be designed to simul-taneously satisfy the requirements for the alternate safe shutdown systems required for fire protection.
On May 29,1980, the Commission published a proposed change to 10 CFR Part 50 which would add certain requirements for fire protection. The proposed change would require that plants included in the SEP have 8010300 134 E
completed implementation of alternate shutdown capability by December 1,1981, or dedicated shutdown capability by October 1, 1982. The proposed change would also require that the licensee submit plans and schedules for that implementation by Noventer 1, 1980.
In addition, in the supplementary information published with the pmposed rule the Comission stated "...the Comission anticipates approsing few, if any, extensions." They also state "the Connission may revise the implementation deadlines for SEP plants to earlier dates following coupletion by the NRC staff of its review of the status of fire protection at those plants."
Although there is no effective rule in place at the present time, we believe it is prudent to anticipate a short deadline and, therefore, request that you provide your proposed plans and schedules for the altemate shutdown capability by November 1,1980.
Sincerely, o: iginal r igr.ed by Darrell G. Eisenhut Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Division of Licensing

Dear Mr. Linder:
By letter dated July 27, 1979, the Commission issued Amendment No. 17 to Provisional Operating License No. DPR-45 for the Lacrosse Boiling Water Reactor.
This amendment added a license condition relating to the completion of facility modifications to improve the fire protection programs. Our enclosed Safety Evaluation Report for Amendment No.17 listed the Safe Shutdown Analysis as incomplete. By letter dated September 14, 1979 we provided to you our position entitled " Safe Shutdown Capability" and noted that Section 8 of that document specifies the information we require for our review of fire protec-tion capability.
By letter dated January 17, 1980 you submitted your analysis of safe shutdown capability.
The staff has utilized the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) to review your Safe Shutdown Report (1/17/80). Based on that review, we have concluded that the fire protection features you have identi-fied are not sufficient to assure safe shutdown capability.
The BNL report is enclosed for your information. To resolve the fire protection concerns for safe shutdown at your facility, we would find acceptable the installation of an alternate shutdown system that will meet the requirements of Section III, paragraph L of proposed Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50.
Please be aware that other aspects of the Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) currently in progress may require installation of a dedicated safe shutdown system which could be designed to simul-taneously satisfy the requirements for the alternate safe shutdown systems required for fire protection.
On May 29,1980, the Commission published a proposed change to 10 CFR Part 50 which would acd certain requirements for fire protection. The proposed change would require that plants included in the SEP have
. completed implementation of alternate shutdown capability by December 1,1981, or dedicated shutdown capability by October 1, 1982. The proposed change would also require that the licensee submit plans and schedules for that implementation by November 1, 1980.
