Dear !>. Bryan:

Subj ect: Review of FSAR Chapter 14 " Initial Test Progrri" - Callaway Plant, Unit 1 We believe that it is important for us to complete our review and evaluation of FSAR Chapter 14, " Initial Test Program", as early as possible so that this review does not impact your licensing schedule. The changes to your test progran or test procedures resulting from our review could impact your license schecule if this action is required at a date near your proposed fuel load date, and if the changes require that you (1) increase your staf-fing for the initial test program, (2) modify and rerun preoperational test procedures which may have already been completed, or (3) modify startup test procedures. This is because increases in staffing normally require some lead time, preoperational test procedures must be written and perfomed prior to fuel loading, and startup test procedures must be written and ap-proved by the plant operating review cor.nittee 60 days prior to fuel loading.

Based upon recent reviews of the initial test programs of CL applications, we have concluded that our review time could be significantly reduced if the applicants would have addressed and accounted for staff information requests on previous applications. All of our recent reviews have contained questions and positions identical or similar to those which had to be resolved during l

previous reviews (e.g., Sumer Nuclear Station).

If the applicants had resolved all of these staff questions and positions in their original FSAR Chapter 14 submittal, we estimate the Chapter 14 review process could have been shortened by 2 - 6 months.

As an applicant for an operating license, we believe you should consider the questions and staff positions on Chapter 14 sent to other recent applicants, Incorporating the resolution of these items into your FSAR will redtce NRC i

review time and should ensure that the review of your initial test progr l

description will not impact your schedule for fuel load or startup.
