May 1, 1984 Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Serial No. 231 Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation N0/JDH:pr Attn: Mr. Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Docket Nos. 50-338 Division of Licensing 50-339 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission License Nos. NPF-4 Washington, D. C. 20555 NPF-7 Gentlemen:
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY NORTH ANNA UNITS 1 AND 2 APPENDIX R - FIRE PROTECTION In early October 1983 Vepco recognized that its level of understanding of the fire protection issues embodied in Appendix R to 10CFR50 had not been adequate to fully address all the implications contained in the regulation.
This recognition had occurred as a result of both additional NRC guidance and recent fire protection inspection results at North Anna.
At that time, we immediately embarked on a comprehensive reanalysis of our fire protection program to insure that we would be in full compliance with the requirements.
On January 27, 1984, we met in Bethesda with members of your staff and the Region II office.
We provided a brief history of Vepco's efforts in the area of fire protection, described our earlier actions and intended modifications as a result of our original analysis, and discussed the scope and bases for our reanalysis. We committed to submit - by May 1,1984, for North Anna
- and by July 6,1984, for Surry - any additional exemption requests and descriptions of any additional modifications resulting from that reanalysis.
Our reanalysis has demonstrated that the large majority of actions and schedules previously identified in our June 22, 1982 submittal remained valid. As expected, the reanalysis also identified several new areas where modifications were necessary or exemption requests were appropriate.
In accordance with our commitment, we are submitting the attached exemption requests and descriptions of modifications. The descriptions include the associated schedule for each modification and specify where compensatory measures have been taken in the interim until the modifications are completed. We believe that, upon completion of the actions described in the attachments, we will be in full compliance with the regulation.
- 0riginal commitment was May 15, 1984.
Revised outage schedule resulted in changed commitment date.
