e SERIAL: LAP-83-335 Carolina Power & Light Company July 21, 1983 Mr. S. D.

LICENSE NOS. DPR-71 AND DPR-62 CLARIFICATION OF COMMITMENTS CONCERNING THE ALTERNATE SHUTDOWN CAPABILITY ANALYSIS AND PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO COMPLY WITH 10 CFR 50, APPENDIX R J

Dear Mr. MacKay:

, Based upon telephone conversations between NRC and members of my j staff, it appears that the agreement reached in the June 10, 1983 meeting at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant may be unclear. Therefore, I would like to reiterate my understanding of the agreements made in our May 2, 1983 letter, as modified at the June 10 meeting and subsequent telephone conversations. My understanding is as follows:

i 9 After the Safety Evaluation Report (SER) is issued, Carolina Power &

i Light Company (CP&L) has nine (9) months to complete the Alternate i Shutdown Capability Analysis (ASCA).

9 From the issue date of the SER, CP&L will meet monthly with the Staff and also provide formal quarterly reports to apprise them of our progress with the ASCA program.

9 Six (6) months after the date of the SER, CP&L will begin preliminary engineering design work on the diesel generator building equipment hatches and the manually operated fixed, sprinkler system for the

, cable spreading rooms. We anticipate modification of the hatches and' the sprinkler system to be completed by November 30, 1984 and June 30, 1985, respectively.

In your July 12, 1983 telephone conversation with Mr. Mike Grim of my staff, it was perceived that'the Staff is considering requiring us to

. provide preliminary descriptions of modifications we believe necessary six (6) 8307270435 830721

months into the ASCA program. Such a requirement could not be met. The ASCA requires the comparison of a set of many alternatives to arrive at the basis for selecting what physical modifications would be required; this assessment would not be complete at the six (6) month point. A requirement to identify all options that are being considered would divert necessary personnel f rom completing the ASCA in the required nine (9) months and temporarily stall )

action on the ASCA program in order to prepare a formal report which would envelope, but not provide focus on, the proposed changes. We believe our monthly meetings with the Staf f, in conjunction with formal quarterly progress reports, will keep the staff well apprised of our progress.

l Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please feel free to call me.
