Subject:
Docket Nos. 50-361 and 50-362 Assessment of Severe Accident Guidelines San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3
Reference:
Letter from Walter C. Marsh to USNRC, Dated January 20, 1995;
" Docket No. 50-361 and 50-362, Response to NRC Request for Additional Information on the Individual Plant Examination, San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3" Edison intends to implement the formal industry position on severe accident management approved by the Nuclear Energy Institute's Nuclear Strategic Issues Advisory Committee on November 4, 1994.
This letter provides the implementa-tion schedule as committed to in the Reference. The. formal industry position, previously communicated in a letter dated November 21, 1994, from NEI to the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, states that:
"Each licensee will:
" Assess current capabilities to respond to severe accident condi-tions using Sec. tion 5 of NEI 91-04, Revision 1, ' Severe Accident Issue Closure Guidelines.'
" Implement appropriate improvements identified in the assessment, within the constraints of existing personnel and hardware, on a schedule to be determined by each licensee and communicated to the NRC, but in any event no later than December 31, 1998."
Based on previous interactions between NEI (NUMARC) and NRC staff, we under-stand that NRC staff agrees with the need for licensee flexibility in their methods of assessing and establishing severe accident management guidance. We intend to complete the assessment of severe accident management capabilities and make any identified enhancements by December 31, 1998.
The assessment will utilize the associated implementing guidance (contained in NEI Report 91-04, Revision 1).
