Re:

Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Units 1/2; Yogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1/2 Generic Letter 88 20 requires, in part, that each operating reactor licensee and construction permit holder: (1) identify the approach and method selected for performing the IPE, (2) describe the method to be used, and (3) identify the schedule for performing the IPE and submitting the results to the NRC.

This information was to be submitted to the NRC within 60 days of issuance of Supplement 1 of the generic letter.

We have reviewed your letter dated October 27, 1989, submitted in response to the reporting requirements of the generic letter. We conclude that your IPE approach methodology and schedule are acceptable. The NRC will accept one su]mittelforbothunitsatasiteprovidedthatthedifferencesanddepend.

encies between units are appropriately addressed in the IPE.

In addition, it is expected that you will use prudent judgment in the use of a previously completed Probabilistic Risk Assessment (FRA) by accounting for any plant-specific differences between your units and the proposed referenced PRA(s). We anticipate that any possible additional analysis or reporting requirements, such as those from external events or from the Containment Performance Improve-ment Program, will not have any adverse effect on your schedule. However, if your schedule should change, please notify the NRC of the proposed change and the reason for the change.

Should you have any questions concerning the requirements of the generic letter, pleasecontactMr.MichaelL.Boyle,WRR,at(301)492-1308 or Mr. John H. Flack, t

RES, at (301) 492 3979.
