November 12,1996 Docket No. 70-36 License No. SNM-33 Mr. Robert C. Pierson, Chief Licensing Branch
- Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
Subject:
IIEMATITE INTEGRATED SAFETY ASSESSMENT SCIIEDUL,E
Reference:
Letter, R. W. Sharkey to R.C. Pierson dated October 23,1996
Dear Mr. Pierson:
The purpose of this letter is to provide a definitive completion date for item 6, Miscellaneous Systems ISA, of the revised schedule and scope for conducting Integrated Safety Assessments (ISAs) which was submitted with the referenced letter. This change was discussed with Dr. Sean Soong of your staff on November 7. Completion dates for items 1 through 4 have been adjusted to correspond with the schedule included in the Criticality Safety Program Update (CSPU) plan and schedule dated September 20,1996.
Enclosed is a copy of the revised ISA schedule incorporating these changes.
As you are aware, considerable staff time and effort has been devoted to the performance ofISAs during the past year. ISAs were completed for a major portion of the oxide conversion process, and for the recovery process liquid waste handling and evaporation systems.
We will be glad to discuss any questions you may have concerning this schedule. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me or Mr. Ifal Eskridge of my staff at (314) 937-4691.
Cordially yours,
\\
COMBUSTION ENGINEERING,INC.
