performed by EG&G Idaho, Inc., under contract to the NRC, with general super-vision by the NRC staff.

This work is reported by EG&G in their Technical Evaluation Report (TER), "Conformance to Regulatory Guide 1.97, Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Unit Nos. 1 & 2," d'ated June 1985 (attached). We have reviewed this report and concur with the conclusion that the licensee either conforms to, or is justified in deviating from, the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.97 for each post-accident monitoring variable.

and concerns regarding the NRC policy on Regulatory Guide 1.97. At these meetings, it was noted that the NRC review would only address exceptions taken to the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.97.

Further, where licensees or appli-cants explicitly state that instrument systems conform to the provisions of the guide, it was noted that no further staff review would be necessary. There-fore, the review performed and reported by EG&G only addresses exceptions to Regulatory Guide 1.973-This Safety Evaluation addresses the licensee's sub-mittals based on the review policy described in the NRC regional meetings and the conclusions of the review as reported by EG&G.

EVALUATION We have reviewed the evaluation performed by our consultant contained in the enclosed TER and concur with its bases and findings.

The licensee either conforms to, or has provided an acceptable justification for deviations from

' the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.97 for each post-accident monitoring variable.

CONCLUSION j

Based on the staff's review of the enclosed Technical Evaluation Report, and the licensee's submittals, we find that the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant.

Unit Nos.1 and 2, design, lis acceptable with respect to conformance to Regulatory Guide, 1.97, Revision 2.
