OCTOBER 29, 1981 The ACRS Subccnittee on TMI-2 Action Plan held a meeting on October 29, 1981 in Room 1046, 1717 H Street, N.W. Washington, D.C.
The purpose of the meeting was to brief the Subconnittee on a proposed addition to 10 CFR 50 regarding licensing requirements for pending operating license applications.
The entire meeting was open to the public.
Notice of this meeting was pub-lished in the Federal Register on Friday, October 9,1981. A copy of this notice is included as Attachment A.
A list of attendees for this meeting is included as Attachment B, the schedule for the meeting is included as Attach-ment C, and a list of all reference material for this meeting is included as y
Attachment D.
A complete set of handouts has been included in the ACR3 files.
There were no written or oral statements from the public. The Designated Federal Emoloyee for this meeting was Mr. Richard K. Major.
SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRMAN'S OPENING REMARKS W. Matnis opened the meeting at 8:30 a.m. with a brief statement on the purpose and goal of the meeting.
OVERVIEW 0F THE PROPOSED RULE Mr. Lainas of the NRC Staff stated that the objective of the proposed rule is to codify the requirements of NUREG-0737. Mr. Lainas and Mr. W. Shields, an attorney for the Staff, pointed out that the issuance of this rule wo11d simplify the en-forcement of NUREG-0737 requirements. The proposed rule would preclude repetitive arguinp of these requirements on each operating license application.

v4 MINUTES Tit!-2 ACTION PLANS 10/29/81 BACKGROUND INFOR'iATION Mr. Lainas provided background information on the proposed rule and discussed its contents.
The proposed rule (paragraph (f) to 10 CFR 50.34) is intended to incorporate into 10 CFR 50 a set of TMI-2 requirements for
~ operating license applications.
The technical content of these require-ments would be the same as those contained in NUREG-0737, requirements currently imposed on applicants for an operating license.
In August the Conmissioners decided not to issue a rule applicable to operating reactors.
CONTENT OF THE PROPOSED RULE Mr. Lainas described the general format of the proposed rule.
The require-
'ments as shown in the proposed rule are divided into two groups:
a.
Itens that must be met as a prerequisite to receiving an OL.
b.
Dated items that must be met by a specific date. For licenses issued before a particular dated item is required, that item and its implementation schedule would become a license condition.
For defining " dated" items in this rule July 15, 1981 was used as the cutoff date (this is the date when the rule was predicted to come out).
Mr. Lainas stated that in developing the proposed rule the Conmission recog-nized that there are a number of items from NUREG-0737 that merit additional consideration prior to being included in a final rule. For example, there are several items for which the ongoing Commission review, based on submittals by operating reactors, may resolve the concern such that no additional information
.g v.
'c f
MINUTES TMI-2 ACTION PLANS 10/29/81 s
on these items would be needed for operating license application.
Some ite's may be redundant with existing regulations.
Some items are presently m
under Commission review with preliminary indications that either the require-ment may not be needed or the specific criteria in NUREG-0737 for meeting the requirement may be revised.
Finally, some items are so specific and of i
~ limited applicability that their inclusion in the regulation may not be i
warranted.
Mr. Lainas identified NUREG-0737 item which might fall into each of thepe five categories and which, consequently, might not be included in the final rul e.
For those requirements which are considered necessary, i
Mr. Lainas identified the implementation dates which the Staff proposes (e.g.
7 prior to issuance of an 0.L. or some other ir
' date).
RESPONSES TO THE PROPOSED RULE Mr. Lainas pointed out that the comment period for the proposed rule ended on August 13, 1981.
He detailed the connents received from applicants, licensees, owners froups, NSSS vendors, architect-engineers, and others (e.g.
In describing the general nature of the 49 i
responses received he, stated that 39 parties were generally opposed to the proposed rule.
Mr. Lainas stated that some of the reasons for the opposition were:
the proposed r'ule will unhecessarily restrict the flexibility of applicants, the proposed rule would negate ' previous qgreements between the Staff and various applicants, that ' portions of the proposed rule duplicate other portions of 10 CFR'50, that the proposed rule is 'too detailed, 'that s
some of the items have been previously resolved, and that criteria fo'r some of the items have not yet been finalized by the NRC.
Fiv,e responses were received in favor of the proposed rule and five responses offered 4

M1HUTES TMI-2 ACTION PLANS 10/29/81 SUBCOMMITTEE CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE MEETINGS The Subcommittee agreed that substantive changes to the proposed rule should be made prior to it being published in its final form.
Consequently, the Subcommittee decided not to have the Staff discuss the proposed rule at the November full Connittee meeting.
The Subcommittee Chairman will provide an oral report to the full Committee on the proposed rule during the November ACRS meeting. If the Committee desires an interim report on the proposed rule, arrangements will be made for the NRC Staff to provide one. The Subcom-mittee will review the Staff's draft of the final rule when it is available and will report the results of this review to the full Committee.
Mr. J. Ebersole expressed his opinion that the proposed rule might better be incorporated into general design criteria as opposed to a Commission rule.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:30 a.m.
