Dear Mr. Parker:
The Reactor Saf ety Study (RSS) developed a methodology for evaluating nuclear reactor safety to determine the public risk due to accidents in light water reactors. To utilize the methodology for the analysis of additional reactor systems and to examine ways in which it may be used as a contributing element in the regulatory safety review process, the fluclear Regulatory Comission is conducting the P,eactor Safety Study Methodology Applications Program (RSSMAP).
As a basis for applying the RSS methodology more broadly, the program will determine the accident sequences which dominate accident risk for a variety of nuclear power plants representative of the current nuclear power industry.
The P,SSMAP includes one boiling water reactor (BWR) and three pressurized water reactor (PWR) power plant designs. The plants differ from the two plants studied in the RSS. Restlts of the analysis of the first plant selected, Sequoyah Unit 1, an ice-condenser-containment PWR plant, are enclosed.
The conclusions of the analysis of this plant are listed on pages 4-8, 9.
These conclusions may be applicable to all plants with an ice condenser containment.
Accordingly, it is requested that you review the conclusions of the study for applicability to your plant and provide your coments and a plan for appropriate corrective action if any is indicated.
Your response should be provided within 45 days af ter the receipt of this letter.
