[d Mr. James R. Hall Project Director U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001
Dear Mr. Hall:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that Nebraska Public Power District 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 NEI to the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, 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."
Impicment appropriate improvements identified in the assessment, within the constraints of existing personnel and hardware, on a schedule to be determined by each IIcensee 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 understand that 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 management capabilities and make any identified enhancements by December 31, 1998.
This implementation schedule is complementary to efforts currently underway at Cooper Nuclear Station to address the individual plant examination of external events.
Sincerely.
j ohn H. Mueller Site Manager i
