As previously communicated in a letter dated November 21, 1994, from NEI to the Director,. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, the formal position states that each licensee will:
Assess current capabilities to respond to severe accident conditions using Section 5 of NEI 91-04, Revision 1, " Severe Accident Issue Closure Guidelines."

. March 30, 1995 Based on previous interactions between NEI (NUMARC).and NRC staff, we understand that the NRC staff 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 mana'gement capabilities and make any identified enhancements by July 1, 1997.
E0I has participated in development of and will utilize the CE0G Generic
- Accident Management Guidelines. -Insights from the Individual Plant i
Examination (IPE) and IPE of External Events (IPEEE), will be. incorporated into the Accident Management Guidelines (AMGs) to make the guidelines plant-specific.
If you have any questions, please contact B.G. Morrison at (504) 739-6682.
