0F0 2 31985 Duke Power Company ATTN:
Mr. H. B. Tucker, Vice President Nuclear Production Department 422 South Church Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28242 Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
DOCKET NO.: 50-413 This acknowledges the receipt of your letter of October 23, 1985, which trans-mitted a Revision 4 to the Catawba Safeguards Contingency Plan.
Our review of the changes has found most of them to be consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(p). Accordingly, they are acceptable for inclusion into the plan.
However, as indicated in the enclosure, some are in need of administrative clarification.
Ms. C. Perny discussed our concerns with Mr. R. Cross of your office on November 22, and 26,1985.
From their discussions, it is our understanding that the removal of contingency event notifications by the Operations Shift Supervisor, to the NRC, throughout the plan, does not mean that the notifications will not be made.
Rather, the statement in the Synopsis of Changes that the Operations Shift Supervisor's duties are referenced to the station emergency preparedness response procedures includes notification to station / corporate management and the NRC. It was stated during the discussion that all of the contingency events were cross referenced to the emergency procedures and that all events would be classified as a minimum as Unusual Events.
One exception was event 5 (Breached Barrier) which was not addressed in the emergency response procedures. The reportability of event 5 is i
addressed in the contingency plan.
In summary, it is our understanding that the reporting requirements do not exempt any of the events pursuant to 10 CFR 73.71(c).
If our understanding is not correct, please advise this office upon receipt of this letter.
The enclosure to your letter is being withheld from public disclosure because it contains Safeguards Information and must be protected in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 73.21.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, we will be glad to discuss them with you.
Sincerely, Roger D. Walker, Director Division of Reactor Projects
