February 4, 1993 Mr. Paul G. Shewmon, Chairman Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555
Dear Mr. Shewmon:
SUBJECT:
PROPOSED BRANCH TECHNICAL POSITION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUAllFICATION OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL I am responding to the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards' (ACRS)
October 22, 1992, letter. In that letter, the ACRS indicated that the proposed branch technical position (BTP) should not be issued for public comment until the matters discussed in the ACRS letter have been addressed.
The following is the staff's response to the ACRS letter.
After the staff identified this issue for license renewal and presented the BTP to both the ACRS and the Committee to Review Generic Requirements (CRGR), the staff decided that environmental qualification (EQ) needs to be evaluated as an issue of potential safety concern for some operating plants.
Therefore, the staff will address EQ as a current issue using the established regulatory process, not as part of the license renewal review. The staff will reassess the adequacy of EQ for plants whose current licensing basis (CLB) is either the 00R Guidelines or NUREG-0588, " Interim Staff Position On Environ-mental Qualification of Safety-Related Electrical Equipment," Category II.
The staff will consider existing ACRS comments in this reassessment.
Additionally, the staff will keep the ACRS informed of its progress on this issue.
Sincerely,
