Dear Sir:
The B&W Owners Group (B&WOG) Generic License Renewal Program (GLRP) is pleased to respond to the proposed revisions of the NRC Nuclear Power Plant License Renewal Rule (59FR46574, September 9,1994).
The B&WOG-GLRP is the focal point for communications between the Owners Group and the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for license renewal. It also interacts with other reactor vendor owners groups, and with nuclear industry organizations, including the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) and the Electric Power Research Institute. The GLRP objective is to support the submittal of an application for license renewal by a " lead B&W plant" no later than December 1997. The other B&W plant ovners will be in a position to submit a license renewal application any time a!ter that.
The GLRP believes the proporad changes to the rule concentrate attention on the systems, structures and comp aents that should be evaluated for license renewal.
Industry and regulatory expe'ience over the past few years, as rcflected in the changes, provide the proper focus and effective use of resources for license renewal.
We strongly believe it is time to set the regulations so implementation of license renewal can proceed through generic and plant specific evaluations. We suggest i
the rule be finalized as quickly as possible.
There has been a long evolution in this rulemaking. The B&WOG appreciates level of effort, technical expertise, and manageme attention given to license renewal by the NRC.
