Subject:
McGuire Nuclear Station Docket Mos. 50-369 and 50-370 Emergency Procedure Development Process NUREG 0737, Supplement 1 In order to maintain cons L9tency between the Emergency Operating Procedures at McGuire and Catawba Nuclear scations, McGuire is making the same committent as Catawba Nuclear Station made in the letter-of October 7,
1992.
This commitment is to: completely upgrade all of the McGuire Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) to revision ID of the Westinghouse Owners Group Emergency Responso Guidelines (ERGS).
Tu make these changes, we fool it is necessary_
to change our EOP development program as described in our response to NUREG-0737, Supplement 1.
Currently, McGuire utilizes Duke Power specific Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPGs) as the tasis for the McGuire1EOPs.. These EPGs.
contain NRC reviewed safety significant deviations _from - the Westinghouse ERGS.
Presently, tho - McGuire EOP development and rwislun process ensures that any changes to the EOPs are reviewed to ensure agreement with the EPGs.
We plan to eliminate.the EPGs when the new set of EOPs are Issued since these;new JOPs will be based-solely on the Westinghouse ERGn with designated deviations.
As revisions are made to the EOPs,-we are incorporating some of the Westinghoase ERG guidance to improve the procedures and to allow for - a smoother transition from the EPG - guidance to the ERG
. guidance.
-Since we will be deleting the EPGs when we reach the point of changing out the EOPs, we feel that it would no longer be beneficial to continue to update the EPGs as we make these changes.
Therefore, as wo revise the existing'EOPs'and incorporate.some of
'the' Westinghouse ERG guidance, we will not revise the associated EPGs.
In order to maintain traceability of these deviations from
-the EPGs, McGuire will m!'intain appropriate _ docunsentatii i that details how the EOP is difTerent from the EPG.
This documentation will be maintained until the EOP change out occurs.
T.t that time, the EPGs and the docunontation detailing EPG deviations' will be
- deleted, n wu 9212070232 921118 y

4-U. __ S. Nuc' lear Regulatory Commission November 18, 1992 Page 2 In our response to NUREG 0737, Supplement 1,
we-described the methodology used to convert the Westinghouse ERGS to plant specific-procedures.
This same process will be used in the future with the exception that. the EPGs will no longer be a part of the process.
This same process will be used in tho' future. with-the exception
_ that the EPGs will no longer be a part of_the process.
As_a-
- result, procedure RS-03, Technical Verification of Nuclear Station Emergency. Procedures and Guidelines, which was attached to.our' response to NUREG 0737, Supplement I and described-the-technical verification process, 1s-no longer valid.
Technical verification
- of the EOPs will still be performed when incorporating ERG guidance, but EPGs will no longer be a part of the process.
In summation, we are revising our EOP development program in'that we will no longer revise our EPGs as changes are made to the EOPs-during our transition from EPG based to ERG based EOPs.
During this transition, we wil. maintain documentation-which details,how the EOPs are difforent from the EPGs.
In addition, technical
- verification of the EOPs will continue-to be performed when
- incorporating Westinghouse ERG guidance, but the EPGs will _ be removed from this process.
Please consider this letter as formal notification of this change to our_EOP development-program.
Very tru'y yours, y l y ![
