SUBJECT:

= WAIVER OF COMPLIANCE REGARDING FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-82, PARAGRAPH 2.C.(13) QUARTERLY DRILLS LICENSE CONDITION, SHOREHAM NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT 1-(TAC NO. 75498)

~In its letter of'May 30, 1990, the Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO)

. requested interim relief from Paragraph 2.C.(13), Quarterly Drills License ,

Condition, of its Facility Operating License NPF-82 pending NRC staff action on its December'15,'1989 request to cease offsite emergency preparedness ,

,' . activities and to implement the defueled emergency preparedness plan. This p license condition, 2.C.(13), requires LILCO to conduct training drills such that:its offsite. emergency plan is exercised quarterly _with full or partial iparticipation by the Local Emergency Response Organization (LERO). . As a consequence, LILCO is next scheduled to conduct a LERO drill on June 20, 1990. .!

Because of the Shoreham facility's current 'defueled status and the NRC's Confirmatory Order, dated March 29 1990, prohibiting LILCO from placing any

-nuclear fuel into the Shoreham reactor vessel without prior approval from the-NRC,'the NRC is grantingLa temporary waiver of compliance to the requirement _,

iofFacilityOperatingLicenseNPF-82', Paragraph 2.C.(13). This waiver of '

compliance-is granted on the following; basis:

1. - Shoreham is defueled with-all fuel located in the spent. fuel pool, which is located outside of the primary containment: 1

2. NRC issued a Confirmatory Order on March 29, 1990 confirming the LILCO commitment not to move fuel back into the reactor vessel ,

without prior NRC approval; and

.- 3 . Design basis accidents for a nuclear facility in a defueled condition are all associated with a loss of water inventory in the spent fuel-pool or with fuel handling. These accidents do not require LERO assistance.

The NRC staff has commenced the administrative process to review the proposed

'n

license amendment. In the interim, this letter grants a waiver of compliance to LILCO from the requirement of Facility Operating License NPF-82, Paragraph 9006250209 900619 l yq l' PDR ADOCK 050003:22
