Dear Mr. Boyer:

SUBJECT:

LIMERICK RISK ASSESSMENT STUDY This is to ; hank you for your December 9,1980 presentation at Pottstown, Pennsylvar sa on your Limerick Risk Assessment Study. We are looking forward I

to receipt of the final report so that we may be able to review the results

~

in more detail especially with regard to the proposed changes being considered for the Limerick Station to improve the safety margins.

Because of the importance that the NRC places on your Risk Assessmenf. Study for Limerick we again request that you submit your final report as soon as possible.

In this regard, we believe that it would be inappropriate to commence review of your FSAR prior to receipt of your final Risk Assessment Study Report. At the latest, the final report of the Risk Assessment Study should be provided as a part of your FSAR when it is tendered.

During the course of the public meeting held on December 9, several specific issues were raised that will receive particular attention by the staff.

Accordingly, you should include a discussion of each of these matters whenever you tender your FSAR.

(A) The first area concerns emergency preparedness as it effects special institutions. Recognizing that emergency preparedness is an ongoing activity, you should provide such information in your application paying particular attention to those local considerations that were discussed l

at the public meeting.

(B) Cooling water supply and the diversion of Delaware River water was dis-cussed by several participants at the meeting. We recognize that the final design of the diversion project was not completed wher the Final Environmental Statement was issued for your Construction Permits. There-fore, the staff will thoroughly review the environmental impacts associated with diversion of Delaware River water. This area should also be thoroughly discussed in your tendered application.

o V. Boyer JAN 05 :S81 (C) The construction of one of the facilities structures was stated to be located on the right-of-way of a public road that runs through the site.

A specific discussion, including exclusion area controls, should be included in your application.

(D) During the course of construction at the site, the staff expressed some concern about the final design and construction of the spray pond.

It is our understanding that this will be the ultimate heat sink and there-fore must be designed and constructed in compliance with appropriate regulations and guides.

You should address the subject thoroughly in your tendered application so that the staff can provide an adequate and timely review of this item in view of our understanding that construction of the spray pond will start next spring.

If you have any questions, please contact the Project Manager, D. Sells at (301) 492-7792.

Sincerely,

%4c0 Robert L. Tedesco, Assistant Director for Licensing Division of Licensing
