NUREG-0737 SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS POINT BEACH NUCLEAP PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 Mr. Colburn of your staff called Wisconsin Electric on february 20 with a number of inquiries regarding cur letter dated Dece:tber 23, 1980 which presented the NUREG-0737 schedule requirements as related to Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2.

He first advised that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering any information received by March 31 as having met the January 1, 1981 schedule date.

In this light, Mr. Colburn asked that we re-examine several of the commitment.s we made in our December 23 letter, and notify the NRC if the commitnents could be changed to meet the March 31 date.

The specific items mentioned by Mr. Colburn together with our comments or revised commitments are presented below.

The first item is identified as' Item II.F.1, Accident Monitoring. to the October 30, 1980 letter which forwarded NUREG-0737 directed that licensees inform the NRC of any exceptions or deviations from the NRC requirements and clarification ir. their sampling and monitoring plans.

This report was supposed to be submitted by January 1, 1981.

We have identified several exceptions to the NRC clarifications and will submit our discussion of these exceptions before March 31.

Item II.B.4 concerns training for mitigating core damage.

In our December 23 letter, we advised that we would be unable to initiate this training by the April 1, 1981 schedule date but that we would complete the training before the October 1, 1981 schedule date.

A generic training program for mitigating core damage has been initiated.

Our training program development will be completed by March 31, and training will be completed by October 1.
