Dear Mr. Patel:

This letter is in response to your letter dated June 27,1996 on the above subject.

Your letter requested that Waterford 3 provide, within 30 days of receipt, written confirmation of a commitment to revise the appropriate administrative procedures for consistency with the recently revised UFSAR Section 9.1.3.1 (Fuel Pool System).

Waterford 3 commits to revise procedure RF-005-001 to address the identified concerns prior to Refuel 8, which is currently scheduled to begin in April of 1997.
