Company of Colorado's (PSC) Proposed Fuel Surveillance Program for the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station Docket No. 50-267 TACE 57625 Item

3. The word "promptly" should be defined. A more definite time is needed as to when this information will be submitted to the NRC.

4. A brief, preliminary report on the results of this examination should be submitted to the NP,C during the refueling, prior to returning the reactor to power. Also, the word " prepared" in the last sentence should be changed to " submitted."

5. Videotapir.g of the inspections is desirable, but if PSC cannot guarantee that it will be done, it cannot be considered to be part of the Fuel Surveillance Program.

6. If FSC cannot guarantee that the gamma scanning will be done, item C conr.ot be considered to be part of the Fuel Surveillance Program.

Also, the word " prepared" in the last sentence should be changed to

" submitted."

8. This additional item should state that if the primary coolant activity increases to more than twice that expected per FSAR Table 3.7-1(5260 curies) the full Fuel Surveillance Program proposed by PSC in letter P-78102, dated June 20, 1978, shall be required, unless PSC at that time can justify the elimination of some of the thirteen items.

9. This additional item should state that if the primary coolant activity limits in Technical Specification 3/4.4.1, " Primary Coolant Activity,"

are exceeded, the full Fuel Surveillance Program proposed by PSC in letter P-78102, dated June 20, 1978, shall be required, and a sufficient number of post-irradiation examinations (PIES) shall be made during the next refueling to determine the cause of the excess activity release from the fuel.
