Dear Mr. Liu:
SUBJECT:
DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER - CONFORMANCE TO REGULATORY GUIDE 1.97, REV. 2 (TAC M84788)
By letters dated July 3 and October 16, 1985, March.31, 1987, and May 3, 1989, Iowa Electric Light and Power Company, the licensee for Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC), submitted information regarding the implementation of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.97, Revision 2.
The NRC staff's Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated May 9,1990, accepted the licensee's proposal for compliance with RG 1.97, Revision 2.
During the period December 9-13, 1991, Region III conducted an inspection of the DAEC facility to examine the licensee's implementation of RG 1.97.
No deviations were found during the inspection. However, as a result of later discussions held with the licensee, several additional action items were identified and by letter dated June 26, 1992, the licensee submitted a report addressing these additional items. One item regarding Class IE power for Category 1 instruments required further clarification, and by letter dated July 9,1993, the licensee provided the staff with the additional information.
i The staff has reviewed the licensee's submittals and has concluded that the licensee either conforms to, or is justified in deviating from, the guidance of RG 1.97 for each post-accident monitoring variable.
i Enclosed is the subject supplemental safety evaluation report. The licensee's program for Regulatory Guide 1.97, Rev. 2 is subject to inspection.
