Dear Mr. Boggs:
ACRS(10)
SUBJECT:
INTERIM RELIEF REGARDING REVISIONS TO THE UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS-REPORT (TACNO.75068) 1 By letter dated October 12, 1989, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District.
(SMUD), the operators of the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station, requested exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.71. This section of the Federal regulations requires licensees to submit annual revisions to the Updated Safety
)
' Analysis Report (USAR). The USAR is a comprehensive document which describes the facility and includes the associated safety' analyses. The annual USAR re-visions update the document to incorporate any facility modifications that were completed during the previous year. When submitted to the NRC, the revised USAR is required to reflect the plant status to within six r.onths of the submission date.
In response to the SMUD exemption request, the NRC staff will authorize an extension for.the submission of the next USAR revision. The extansion will require the licensee to-submit the next USAR update no later than June 22, 1990.
When updated in' June 1990,~the USAR will include a' current description of the facility through December 1989. The updated USAR_will essentially describe the facility as it existed when the licensee decided to terminate power operations and proceed with decommissioning. There is minimal safety significance to the extension request since the reactor is currently defueled.
4 The NRC staff has commenced the administrative process to grant an-appropriate-exemption to reflect the extension for submitting the revised USAR.
In-the i,
I interim, this letter grants an immediate waiver of compliance to the schedule n
requirements of'10 CFR 50.71 since adherence to the schedule would not serve a useful purpose at this time.
