Unit Nos.1 & 2; Docket Nos. 50-317 & 50-318 Comments on Proposed Rule, "Prunary Reactor Containment Leakage Testing for Water-Cooled Power Reactors"(60 FR 9634)
REFERENCE:
(a)
Letter from Mr. T. E. Tipton (NEI) to Mr. J. C. Hoyle (NRC), dated March 28, 1995, " Industry Comments on Proposed Resision to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, ' Containment Leakage Testing,' to Adopt Performance-Oriented and Risk-Based Approaches" The purpose of this letter is to inform the NRC that Baltimore Gas and Electric Company endorses the formal industry position on the Proposed Appendix J Option B Rule submitted by the Nuclear Energy Institute on March 28,1995, Reference (a).
In general, the industry believes that with the adoption of a few changes recommended in Reference (a), the proposed revision to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, will result in a regulation that is highly efficient, while ensuring the public health and safety. We concur with the industry positions that: (1) the proposed Appendix J requirement for a licensee commitment in the plant technical specification is unnecessary, as this is not inform-tJon that must be readily available to opc ators to ensure safe plant operations; (2) licensee compliance with the Option B rule should not be mandatory; and (3) a sisual examination is an element of a Type A test, and as such, the frequency requirement should be the same as that for the Type A test.
