Beaver Valley Power Station - Unit No. 2 po ket No. 50-412 c

Power Systems Branch, Mechanical Section, Meeting Request Centlemen:

On September 19, 1983, Duquesne Light Company (DLC) received questions from the Power Systems Branch (PSB), Mechanical Section related to their review of the Beaver Valley Unit 2 (BVPS-2) operating license application.

The res ponses to these questions were provided formally in Amendment 4 to the FSAR on December 5,1983. A subsequent meeting on March nonspecific ceting agenda attached to the 6,

1984, was based upon a specific agenda or written meeting notice issued by NRR.

The lack of a evaluation by NRR made ef fective preparation for the meeting impossible and resulted in nest of the items remaining open following the meeting.

Based upon the lack of progress during that meeting, DLC formally requested draf t safety evaluations prior to conducting future meetings as had been promised in a letter from D. G. Eisenhut dated May 4, 1983.

Three submittals have been made (FSAR Amendmenta 6 and 7 and a letter dated July 16, 1984) to resolve the reviewer's concerns.

These concerns have never been provided to DLC formally.

However, in your discussion with my staff on August 13, 1984, you indicated that the reviewer's concerns have not been satisfactorily addressed in those submittals and that a further meeting is requested by NRR.

The points of discussion for the requested meeting are as yet undisclosed to DLC.

As indicated in our most recent transmittal of revised res ponses to the PSB mechanical questions (July 16, 1984), NRC concerns in this area should be submitted formally and should provide a precise definition of the specific issues remaining to be resolved and their regulatory bases.

This will provide DLC with the necessary material to provide suitable responses in an e f ficient manner to support NRR review and the licensing schedule.

The written identification of the concerns is particularly important in light of the number of questions (93) from the PSB Mechanical Section. Specific concerns will allow DLC to identify the appropriate support pe rsonnel from 8408230246 84C920 OOO(

the large number of. personnel involved in the nech anical areas.

DLC is willing to support the requested meeting, but, as demonstrated by the pre-vious meeting, a successful meeting cannot be expected unless the specific concerns to be discussed have been provided to DLC for a suf ficient time

. prior-to the meeting.
