Dear Mr. Eisenhut:
South Texas Project Units 1 & 2 Docket Nos. STN 50-498, STN 50-499 Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737 -
Requirements for Emergency Response Capability Houston Lighting & Power Company (HL&P) has reviewed your letter of December 17, 1982, entitled, " Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737 - Requirements for Emergency Response Capability (Generic Letter No. 82-33)." HL&P has attended an NRC Regional Workshop on this subject, and has additionally reviewed and incorporated in this response the information provided at the workshop.
It has been determined that, given the present status of construction at the South Texas Project, the applicable requirements of the letter to the South Texas Project will be implemented prior to the scheduled fuel load date for Units 1 & 2.
A breakdown of the requirements of the letter applicable to the South Texas Project is provided in the attachment to this letter.
HL&P's proposed response to each requirement is correspondingly indicated in the attachment.
HL&P has determined that a phased integration plan for emergency response activities, as requested in the letter, is unnecessary and inappropriate since all applicable requirements will be implemented prior to the scheduled fuel load date for Units 1 & 2.
Scheduled dates provided are subject to South Texas Project construction progress. HL&P does not anticipate any significant changes to these dates.
Very truly yours, h.

Safety (NUREG-0737,ItemI.D.2) t' 1.
Current Status of aPDS Design:-
The South Texas Project SPDS will be incorporated in the Emergency Response Facilities Data Acquisition and Display System. The SPDS will provide a concise display of critical plant variables identified as Type B.
Variables during the analysis performed to respond to Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 2.
The system conceptual design and a preliminary data base have been established, and a specification is currently being prepared for system procurement. SPDS displays will be located on the operator's console in 2
the control room, and in the Technical Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility.
Date for Submittal of Safety February 1985.
It is expected this Analysis and Verification information will be submitted in the Validation Plan:
form of an FSAR amendment.
SPDS Implementation Schedule:
SPDS design completed - June 1984.
SPDS installed - February 1986, SPDS operational - June 1986.
i Operators fully trained on SPDS -
December 1986.
(
Pre-Implementation Review:
Pre-Implementation Review by NRC is not considered necessary. Normal review of FSAR amendment of February 1985 is expected.

Detailed Contro'l Room Design Review (DCRDR)
(NUREG-0737, Item I.D.1)
Current Status of DCRDR:
A detailed Control Room Design Review (CRDR) is being performed by Torrey
~ Pin'es Technology for Houston Lighting &
Power Company with Bechtel Energy Corporation acting as agent. The CRDR Program Plan was reviewed at a meeting with the NRC on October 5, 1982. On October 20, 1982, the CRDR Program Plan was submitted to the NRC.
The CRDR, combined with modifications to meet Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 2, and engineering design evolution has resulted in the re-layout of six of the main control room panels and various modifications to the remaining control room panels. An Implementation Plan Report (interim report) summarizing the CRDR, the proposed control room design changes, and the proposed methods of implementing the design changes has been prepared and was submitted to the NRC on April 7, 1983.
Verification and validation of the revised control room design will occur after design changes are completed and Regulatory Guide 1.97 upgrades are implemented. The CRDR Summary Report will then be issued to summarize the CRDR results, final control room I
l changes, conclusions and recommenda-tions. Technical details concerning the CRDR Summary Report will be found l
in the Criteria Report, the Operating l
Experience Review Report, the System Function and Task Analysis Report, the Control Room Survey Report, the Annunciator Report, and the Special l
Studies Report.
Date for Submittal of Program Plan:
October 20, 1982.

Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 2 and Meteorological Data -
Ap lication to Emergency Response Facilities NUREG-0737, Items II.F.1 and.III.A.2.2)
Current Status of Regulatory Guide An analysis based on the Westinghouse 1.97, Revision 2 and Meteorological-general design basis was conducted to Data Programs:
develop a plant specific response to the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 2.
This analysis identified the appropriate variables and estab-lished appropriate design bases and qualification criteria for instrumenta-tion utilized by the control room operator during and following an accident. The upgrades identified are being incorporated into the individual systems and control room designs in a manner to support the South Texas Project construction schedule. A table of post-accident monitoring variables and the plant specific design basis ~
will be incorporated into the FSAR.
Implementation Schedule for FSAR amendment - August 1984.
Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 2:
Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 2 implementation - December 1986.
