Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation (North Atlantic) 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. That formal position, previously communicated in a letter dated November 21,1994, from NEl to the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, states that:
Each !icensee will:
Assess current capabilities to respondto severe accident conditions using Section 5 ofNEl 91-04, Revision 1, " Severe Accident Issue Closure Guidelines."
Implement appropriate improvements identified in the assessment, within the constrains 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 NEl (NUMARC) and NRC staff, we understand that the NRC stafT agrees with the need for licensee flexibility in their methods of assessing and establishing severe accident management guidance. Utilizing the associated implementing guidance contained in NEI Report 91-04, Revision 1, we intend to complete the assessment of severe accident management capabilities and make any identified enhancements by December 31,1998.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter please contact Mr. James M. Peschel, Regulatory Compliance Manager, at (603) 474-9521 extension 3772.
