_.O P-85328 Regional Administrator Region IV U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 1000 Arlington, TX 76011 Attn: Mr. Darwin R. Hunter Docket No. 50-267

SUBJECT:

Post Accident Sampling System

REFERENCE:

(1) NRC Letter dated July 8, 1985 Johnson to Lee (G-85260)

Dear Mr. Hunter:

In a letter dated July 8,1985 (Reference 1) the NRC requested that Public Service Company of Colorado.(PSC) provide comments on resolution of NRC's concerns about the Fort St. Vrain (FSV) Post Accident Sampling System.

NRC indicated that PSC must revise the FSV procedure for estimating the extent of core damage to be consistent with NUREG-0737, Item II.B.3 before this procedure will be acceptable to NRC.

In the Supplemental Safety Evaluation enclosed with Reference 1, NRC stated that the procedure PSC would use to estimate core damage is not acceptable because it is based solely on the Xe-133 concentration in the reactor coolant. PSC is now working with GA Technologies to evaluate the possibility of implementing a backup sampling method based on concentrations of other volatile radionuclides or other gaseous species.

This research is involving more time than originally anticipated.

. As discussed with Mr. P. Wagner on September 12, 1985, PSC will.need an additional 60 days to complete our research and provide NRC with the information requested in Reference 1.
