,a vel &lONT YAiUIE AFFlDAYlT ON ROD DROP ACCIDENT...
s g.
Pe have prepared en affidavit on the Vermont Yankee roO drop accident p.
which outlines an acceptable startup mode 'of operation for the period
~
a of the tcmporary operating liccuse (12 months).. The p_h.i9y.it indica te_jL
[
that for this tempornry operat'ioi),, use of an additional operatur. during s ta r rt'p 'is accep table.
,1 t a l s o inslica'Ic s~ th a t 'pe rman e n t fixes will
~
be required for operation beyond the 12. month period.
k.
We would have liked to have related the accept. ability of the rod drop accident situation to limitation on scram velocity (as uc discussed yesterday).
lloucver such restrictions are so stringent that in reality the reactor could not be operated.
Therefore, we ucre faccd
.oth a decision to accept administrative procedures on a temporary L
b4. sis with the only alternative uc could find being to prohibit
['
o;;e ra tion.
Uc were nnt villing to force the latter determination.
1 atronnly reconunend we go uith the affidavit as I have described i t.- llowever, if someone can think of another meaningful alternative vc would be very happy to adopt it.
Still lef t unancuered 1 9 the question of what to do for other operating
,and soon-to-be-licenced 11Was.
I think uc can nuccess fully duck this question at thc' hearing, but some decision on'this will have to be blade Soon.
