Dear Mr. Abel:

g SUDJECT: SEP TOPIC FORMAT FOR DESIGN BASIS EVENT REVIEWS - DRESDEN UNIT 2 In March 1981, the NRC issued a draft evaluation of plant transients and accidents (DBEs) for the Palisades Plant. Based on this report, each licensee of a SEP facility was to provide safety assessments of the DBE topics for staff review.

The staff prepared an integrated report of all of the events for Palisades for our convenience in performing the integrated assessment.

It was not our intent to require that such a report format be strictly followed for the remaining plants.

Individual topic reviews are an equally acceptable format.

In some cases, you may elect to group related topics together to denonstrate that one topic is bounded by others or that the plant systems respond similarly.

The topic assessacnts that you submit should clearly identify how acceptance criteria are net and justification or planned resolution of deviations.

Results from FSARs or other documents which support your conclusions should be included in the evaluation.

Information on the analysis methods and codes, such as whether the code has been approved by the staff, is also needed.

i Coaplete topic assessments will enable the staff to issue final SLRs on the l

DBE topics with minimal demands on the licensee for additional information.

l The guidance provided by this letter is given only to allow more flexibility i

in submittal of DBE topic reviews. No change in schedule should result.
