[b LICENSED PRIOR TO JANUARY 1,1979 y
The Comission published on November 19,1980 (45 FR 76602), a revised Section 10 CFR 50.48 and a new Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 regarding fire protection featares of nuclear power plants.
The revised Section 50.48 and Appendix R will become effective February 17, 1981, which is 90 days after publication.
A copy of the Federal Register Notice is enclosed (Enclosure 1).
The provisions of Appendix R that are applicable to the fire protection f eatures of your f acility can be divided into two categories.
The first category consists of those provisions of the Appendix that are required to be backfit in their entirety by the new rule, regardless of whether or not alternatives to the specific requirements of these Sections have been previously approved by the NRC staff.
These requirements are set forth in Sections III.G, Fire Protection of Safe, Shutdown Capability; III-J, Emergency Lighting; and III-0, Oil Collection Systems for Reactor Coolant Pump.
The fire prctection features of your f acility must satisfy the specific requirements of these three Sections by the dates established by Paragraph 50.48(c), unless an exemption from the Appendix R requiremnts is approved by the Comission.
You should note the provisions for tolling the time for conpleting the modifications required by these three Sections of Appendix R set forth in Paragraph 50.48(c)(6).
The second category of Appendix R pr0 visions applicable to the fire protection features of your f acility consists of requirements concerning the "open" itens of previous NRC staff fire protection reviews of your facility. An open item is defined as a fire protection feature that has not been previously approved by tha NRC staff as satisfying the provisions of Appendix A to Branch Technical Position BTP PCSB 9.5-1, as reflected in a staff fire protection safety evaluation report.
The fire protection features of your f acility that are in this category mst satisfy the specific requirements of Appendix R by the dates established by Paragraph 50.48(c), unless an exemp-tion f rom the Appendix R requirements on these features is approved by the Commi ssion. is a summary listing of the open items concerning the fire protection features of your facility bastd cn a review of our records.
Also included is our position on the specific requirements that mst be satisfied in order to resolve these open items.
If you have any questions or disagree-ments with this enclosure, please advise us within 30 days of your receipt of
~
this letter.
Ea0 m o g 1
With regard to the fire protection modificatior.s that have been previously approved by the NRC staff, Paragraph 50.48(d) specifies a new schedule for their conpletion.
This paragraph, when it becomes effective, will supersede the currentl3 effective section of the regulations that tenporarily suspends cocpletion dates for previously approved fire protection modifications that are given in f acility license conditions (45 FR 71569, October 29,1980).
The Conmission expects thi' all such modifications will be completed in accordance with this new schedule, unless an extension has been requested and gr anted by the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
[see Paragrnph 50.48(d)], or an exenotion has been requested and granted by the Conmission pursuant to Section 50.12 of the Coninission's regulations.
If you have previously requetted extensions of dates for conpletion of modifications that are required by license conditior.s for your facility which were not approved, and you have determined that these extensions are still necessary and justifiable, it will be necessary for you to reapply for any such extensions in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 50.48(d).
All requests for Conmission action resulting from this rule are subject to the schedule of fees specified in 10 CFR 170.21.
If you have any questions concerning the subject matters of this letter, please contact the NRC Project Manager for your facility.
Sincerely, xuarm}
