Executive Vice President Power Supply Carolina Power & Light Com,any Post Office Box 1551 Raleigh, North Carolina 27602

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELATING TO PROPOSED OPERATING LICENSE EXTENSIONS - BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. 66082 and 66083) l By letter dated August 17, 1987, you submitted a request to change the expiration dites of your operating licenses for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1and2,(BSEP). We have identified additional information needed to complete our review, as noted in the enclosure.

l To finalire our review, you are requested to provide the additional information within 60 days of receipt of this letter.

The reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements contained in this letter affect fewer than ten respondents; therefore, OMB clearance is not required under P. L.96-511.

ENCLOSURE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR EXTENSION OF OPERATING LICENSE BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (BSEP)

DOCKET N05.

50-325 and 50-324

1.

Provideanassessmentoftheimpact(10CFRPart100)ontheExclusion i

Area Boundary, Low Population Zone and the nearest population centers based on population projections through the requested extension periods.

2.

Provide a discussion of population distribution trends within 50 miles of the plant based on 1970 and 1980 census data.

Include projections through the period of the proposed extensions.

3.

Provide a quantification of the radiological impacts upon the general population based on calculated off-site doses.

Include a discussion on the impact of the estimated dose commitments for 40 years of operation.

How do offsite dose calculations for actual effluent releases compare with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, objectives?

4.

For the uranium fuel cycle, provide a statement regarding the environmental impact of the longer production run for the fuel cycle and any net annual effects per Table S-3 in 10 CFR 51.51. How will the 18-month fuel cycle impact.the environment?

j 5.

Provide a discussion on how BSEP intends to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 51.52, paragraph (a) or (b), and Table S-4, 6.

Describe any dose goals you may have for BSEP annual doses through the requested extension period, the bases for these dose goals (e.g., input fromeachplantdepartment,historicaldoses),andCPdL'stimeframe for meeting these goals.

Provide dose goals for both outage and non-outage years. De M ribe BSEP's " track record" for meeting dose goals in the past, the accuracy of these past dose goals, and how BSEP intends to establish and enforce realistic dose goals in the future.

7.

a.

Brunswick's annual collective exposures have been well above the industry average for BWRs for most of the life of the plant. Describe how CP&L plans to reduce Brunswick's annual collective dose over the next few years to levels which will be more comparable to the industry average during the period of extension. Describe any changes / improvements that may have already been made to reduce the annual doses at BSEP and their effectiveness in reducing annual doses.

b.

Describe the units' radioactive " source term" relative to other plants of the same vintage. What plans (short-range and long-range) does CP&L have to reduce this source term (e.g. system chemical decon, Cobalt material replacement, zinc injection) during the time of the extension.

8.

Detailed and accurate ALARA job preplanning plays an important role in 1

minimizing job time and the resultant occupational doses. Describe how BSEP intends to impr:<ve the coordination and cooperation among plant management, the HP/ALARA group and other plant departments during the outage planning stages to ensure that pertinent jobs receive ALARA reviews well in advance of the actual outage.

Describe how these ALARA reviews, coupled with accurate man-hour job estimates, can contribute to lowering annual doses at BSEP during the period of the extension.

9.

Provide a comparison between actual radwaste shipments in recent years and the information provided in FES section V.D.3., and estimate the impact for the extension periods.

10. Provide the current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)permitnumberanddatesofissuanceandexpiration.

11.

Identify any potential impact that prolonged plant operation may have on properties with historical, architectural, or archeological significance.

12. Assess the impact of the proposed extension on the reactor vessel, mechanical equipment, electrical equipment, and plant structures,

13. Provide a listing of all FES or FSAR sections in which less than 40 years of operation was assumed; provide an assessment of the impact of the extensions on conclusions found in the sections identified.
