SUBJECT:
Licensee Support of Reload 8 for Millstone Unit No. 1 On September 5,1982, the Millstone Unit 1 facility was shutdown for a scheduled nine week refueling outage. A1:nost six weeks later ((on October 15,1982) you provided a submittal describing the analyses done by you and your contractors to support that refueling and requested by November 3, 1982 staff approval to restart. The principal technical bases for your sutrnittal were provided in a number of topical reports from General Electric. The most recent of these topicals is dated July 1982 and the earliest is dated September 1931. The others are dated June 1982. All topicals deal explicitly with Hillstone Unit I rather than a generic report referenced by you for Millstone.

Timely sutmittals Since you knew well in advance of the reload what the design parameters of the fuel were (it was delivered in time) and early in the summer, the safety implications of cycle 9 core, delaying the submittal until two-thirds of the way through the actual refueling places an unnecessary burden on the staff.
With budget reductions in store for the agency in the upcoming fiscal years, the staff may not be as flexible in the future in responding to late requests for restart authorization. Consequen tly, 8211220203 821118 PDR ADOCK 05000245 P

Mr. W. G. Counsil November 18, 1982 staff approval could be delayed beyond the date the plant would be ready for restart. Therefore, I request that you review your staff's actions related to the delays in submittal of key documents to the staff and based on that review modify your 1r.ternal procedures to allow for prompt submittals and resultant timely staff reviews.
i Sincerely.
