Dear Hr. Tallman:
Subject:
Review of FSAR Chapter 14 " Initial Test Program" - Seabrook Station, Units 1 and 2 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 program or test procedures resulting from our review could impact your license schedule 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) rrodify startup test procedures. This is because increases in staffing nomally 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 cormaittee 60 days prior to fuel loading.
l Based upon recent reviews of the initial test programs of OL applications, j
we have concluded that our review time could be significantly reduced if the l
applicants would have addressed and accounted for staff infomation requests j
on previous applications. All of our recent reviews have contained questions and positions identical or similar to those which had to be resolved during previous reviews (e.g., Summer 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 i
questions and staff positions on Chapter 14 sent to other recent applicants.
Incorporating the resolution of these items into your initial FSAR will reduce NRC review time and should ensure that the review of your initial test program description will not impact your schedule for fuel load or startup.
