Dear Mr. Thadani:
Milestones for Implementation of Inadequate Core Cooling Instrumentation System In References 2,3, and 4, the milestones for implementation of the inade-quate core cooling instrumentation system were detailed.
Most recently, Reference 4 informed you of our plans to delay declaration of final oper-ability for an additional fuel cycle.
Because of equipment failures and the relative uncertainty of the reliability of the equipment at the time, OPPD feit it would not be possible to proceed according to our Reference 3 schedule.
Subsequent to Reference 4, conference calls have been held between members of your staff and OPPD personnel.
Based on the results of those conference calls, OPPD plans to implement the inadequate core cooling instrumentation system in accordance with the following schedule:
OPPD will complete the final stages of the system in time for submittal of the implementation letter report, 6 months following the 1985 out-age, excluding repair of those components which are of concern due to failure.
The repair / replacement of those components will be undertaken during the 1987 refueling outage.

To A. C. Thadani LIC-86-076 Page 2 Six months following completion of the 1985 refueling outage (by July 6, 1986), OPPD will submit the implementation report letter.
This is consistent with Reference 3.
This letter will be sent in conjunction with an application for Amendment containing proposed Technical Specifi-cations for the ICCI System. As noted in our recent telephone calls, the proposed Technical Specifications will be less restrictive than the Standard Technical Specifications.
In Reference 3, OPPD's schedule allowed ninety (90) days for NRC review and approval of our plant-speci-fic installation. As we now understand it, this process will require considerably less than the allotted ninety days. However, OPPD's schedule included 90 days plus the milestone-established sixty (60) days after approval in order to complete training, upgrade procedures, etc. Therefore, our implementation letter report and the Application for Amendment will request that those Technical Specifications be made effective 150 days from submittal or 60 days from NRC approval, which-ever is later. We believe this is a workable solution to the question of implementation of the ICCI system.
If you have questions concerning this schedule clarification, please contact us.
Sincerely, l$W R. L. Andrews Division Manger Nuclear Production l
