SUBJECT:
UPDATED ABWR PRA ISS E STATUS PUNCH LIST I have enclosed the updated punch list for ABWR PRA issues. Note that there was an overlap (i.e., double counting) of issues associated with CA-1, -2, and
-3 in that they were also covered in the " Belonging to other branches" category. This overlap has been eliminated as has the listing of Open and Confirmatory items that belong to containment systems branch. John Moninger and Carol have started their own parallel list.

l The following chart'is a summary.of the status of issues raised by the' staff concerning the ABWR PRA. This chart has been coordinated with GE to assure
(
that it is as accurate as possible in portraying. issue status. The chart is current as of January 11, 1993.
- {
An. issue is judged " confirmatory" in the chart if GE has submitted (by fax, l
discussion, meeting handout, or letter) sufficient;information for the staff j
to draw its conclusion regarding the issue. Most of the information submitted 1
-by GE'has been provided in a preliminary form. All information must be translated by GE into SSAR modifications that capture issue resolution.. A few
-j of the issues in the. confirmatory list are being tracked there for l
completeness, although they were written up as. " resolved" in the DFSER.
i An issue is judged to be "open" in the chart if the. staff is awaiting GE's i
response on staff questions or if'the staff still has the issue under review.
