Dear Mr. Lee:

Subj ect: Appendix R of 10 CFR Part 50 - Fire Protection Rule (Revised version of similar letter dated October 6,1981; revised 01B section.)

The Comission published a revised Section 10 CFR 50.48 and a new Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50 on llovember 19,1980 (45 FR 76602). This rule became effective on February 17, 1981, and it specifies certain fire protection features for operating nuclear power plants licensed before January 1979. The technical requiremants stated in Appendix R were adopted after several years experience with the fire protection guidelines of Appendix A to BTP-ASB 9.5-1 in evaluating fire protection prograas. A copy of the Federal Register Hotice is enclosed (Enclosure 1).

The technical requirements of Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50 are. now being used as guidelines in our evaluation of the fire protection program for plants under review for operating licenses.

It has been our recent practice to parform the fire protection reviews for OL plants using the provisions of Appendix R.

Accordingly, as part of your overall fire protection program submittal, we request that you include a comparison of your fire protection program to Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50.

Specifically identify and justify any deviation from Appendix R.

Deviations fran Appendix R should be identified as early in the review process as possible, so that they may be resolved and all fire protection features he taplemented by the time the plant is ready for fuel loading.

If you have any questions on this subject, please contact the MC Project fianager for your facility.
