July 11, 1990 Mr. Matthews, NRR Project Director, discut .::d the NRC's view of GPC's -

interpretation of 10 CFR 50.73 Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) actuations.  !

NRR and AEOD are currently in agreernent with Region II's interpretation of what constitutes a reportable ESF actu6 tion. However, NRR also believes this issue j should be addressed in the larger context of 10 CFR 50.73 in general (industry '

is currently addressing the pros and cons of 50.73 and where improveraents can ,

be made) and should be addressed on an industry basis. Mr. Matthews also dis- '

cussedthestatusofGenericSafetyIssues(GSis)mentioningthatGSIswould be handled in an analogous fashion to the USIs.

Cindy Tully, Senior Engineer for GPC, presented GPC's and the DWR Owner's Group views regarding the interpretation of 10 CFR 50.73. Both Ms. Tully and Steve Bethey (GPC Hgr. Licensing. Hatch) emphasized the need for NRC to ,

address the spcifics of 10 CFR 50.73, particularly with respect to the cefinition of the 50.73 language (e.g., Engineered Safety Feature).

The last portion of the meeting was dedicated to the individual plant breakout sessions where the status of current licensing was discussed.

The next GPC/NRC interface meeting has been tentatively set for December 1990 or January 1991 cnd will be held at Plant Hatch.
