Mr.~ Harold R. Denton-Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation f U. S.., Nuclear Regulatory Commission .
Washington, D. C. 20555 ULNRC- 392
Dear-Mr. Denton:
Docket Numbers 50-483 50-486 Union' Electric Company. I Callaway Plant, Units 1 & 2 ,
i On October 19, 1979, I transmitted (see ULNRC-326, attached)'an amendment to Union Electric company's application
'f April 1C, 1974, for two Construction Permits and two Operating Licenses for a nuclear' plant designated Callaway Plant, Units 1 and 2. 'As f stated on October'19, 1979:-
"This amendment contemplates that the NRC l staff will conduct its review through the issuance e '. of a Safety Evaluation Report for Callaway. Plant
.- ' Units 1 and 2, and an Environmental Impact State-ment on Callaway Plant, Unit 1 leading to the issuance of an operating license for Unit 1."
I also stated in'the letter that additional information required to complete the amended application for the issuance of an operating license for Callaway Plant, Unit 2, will be filed at a later date consistent with the scheduled completion of construction of that unit.
It is our belief that this approach'-- which seeks a complete operating license review for Callaway Plant, Unit 1, but only a safety evaluation for Unit 2 -- is consistent with and specifically responsive to the guidance you provided in your letter of August 9, 1978 (attached) to the SNUPPS utilities.
In that letter you stated:
"The SNUPPS FSAR will be submitted with the l operating license application for the lead SNUPPS plant, along with_the site-related and applicant-related portions of the FSAR and with the Environ-mental Report for that' application. At that time,
, the applicants for the other three SNUPPS plants j will sta te their intent of referencing the SNUPPS FSAR in their applications.... After this (lead) application has been accepted for revit>,we plan 4

to issue.a notice of opportunity for~ hearing on, both environmental and safety matters for the lead SNUPPS plant application.. ~Forl the other three SNUPPSLplants,.we also plan to' issue at that time
+
notices of receipt of the SNUPPS FSAR which the !
applicants intend to reference in their operating license applications, and will'also notice the opportunity for hearing on safety matters relating :
.to the SNUPPS FSAR for these plants. These latter notices will state that the notices for opportunity-for-hearing on.the remaining radiological. safety
- matters . (i. e . ;, the site-related and applicant-related portions of the FSAR) and on environmental matters (i.e. , the Environmental Report) for these plants.
will be issued after the operating license'appli-cations, including these documents, have been accepted for review." (Emphasis added).
Our filing of-October 19, 1979, transmitted'a. complete application for the. lead SNUPPS plant-(Callaway Plant, Unit 1), and referenced the SNUPPS FSAR for Callaway Plant, Unit 2.
The' notice of Receipt of Application for Facility Operating Licenses, Consideration of Issuance of Facility Operating Licenses and Notice of Opportunity for tiearing
("the Notice") published in the Federal Register on August 26, 1980 (attached) does not reflect differences in the scope of review contemplated at this time for Units 1 and 2, as reflected in your letter of August 9, 1978, and my transmittal of October 19, 1979. We have discussed the Notice with your staff and advised them that in our view the Notice does not accurately reflect.our' amended application. Following these discussions, we have been advised that the NRC Staff will not amend the Notice,
.as it applies to Callaway Plant, Unit 2, to include the opportunity for hearing on safety matters relating to the SNUPPS FSAR. We have been advised that in order to notice Unit 2 safety matters relating to the SNUPPS FSAR, we must now fi.le all of the other .
information required to consider the issuance of an operating l license for Unit 2, or seek an exemption.
Faced with Sis change in staff policy on the treatment of the SNUPPS applications, we request: that the Notice be amended to ref3ect the. fact that the Company is seeking the issuance at this time of an operating license only for Callaway Plant, Unit 1.
The Environmental Report filed on October 19, 1979, includes information on.the' environmental effects of the combined operation of both callaway Plant units, consistent with past NRC practice in the evaluation of sites for multiple plant use. Because Callaway Plant, Unit 2, is a part of the company's generation expansion plan, we believe the staff's environmental review of
-Unit l1 should be conducted on the basis of these combined effects.

Mr. Harold R. Denton .
October 1, 1980 '
Page Three Because petitions for' leave to intervene are being filed in response to the August 26, 1980 notice, a6d becadse an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will be appointed shortly to rule on the petitions, this request for issuance of an amended notice warrants prompt action. It is important that the public and the Board understand the octual scope of this licensing proceeding.
I would also like to cL11 your attention to the following errors in the Notice, which might be corrected in the amended notice:
- 1. The per unit net electrical output is 1150 mega-watts, and not 1500 megawatts.
- 2. The SNUPPS FSAR was filed on October 19, 1979, and not on October 19, 1980.
- 3. The Environmental Report was filed on October 19, 1979, so that it is'in error to state that it is expected to be filed and accepted by February, 1981.
It is also our view that the Notice is confusing in that it is unclear whether interested members of the public were invited to petition for leave to intervene on health and safety matters alone, or whether the Notice was intended to invite participation on environmental matters as well. We request that the amended notice apply clearly to both environmental and safety matters associated with the Unit 1 application.
Very truly yours, i

SUBJ EC T : PLANNEO REVIEW OF OPERATING LICENSE APiLICAfl0NS FOR IHE FOUR SNUPPS DUPLICATE PLANTS
,. By letter dated January 30, 1978, Mr. Nicholas A. Petrick, . representing the ;
,' SHUPPS utilities, presented a proposal regardirig the saantier of suoi.iission dnd review of the standard (SNUPPS FSAR) portion of your uperating license applications for the four SNUPPS duplicate plants. A raeeting was held on Apri l 14, 1978 in Bethesda, Meryland between representatives of tne SMUPPb utilities and inemoers of the NRC staf f to discuss the laatter in gredter detail. A sunsaary of the meeting was circulated to all attendees and the SHUPPS utilities took exception, by letter dated May 30,19/8, to the staff's detenaination that site infonaation for the thrtie Idter plarits would not be reviewed concurrent with the SNUPPS FSAR and the site infor- t mation for the lead plant. this detennination was made or, the basis thdt the planned construction cornpletion dater for the four plants are spread over several years. ihe' purpose of this iatter is to advise you as to how we view the overall review of the tour SNUFPS applications at tr.e operating licente stage of review and to respond to your exception to the steff's detennination regarding the review of the site information. i As stated at.the April 14, 19/8 meeting, we agree with your proposal that we accept.for a single review'tne SNUPPS FSAR document wnten will descrice the standard portion of.the four SMUPPS plants. Ine SNUPPS FSAR will oe ,
suomitted witn the operating license application for the ledd SMUPPS 3 plant, dlong with the site-related 6nd applicant-related portions of tne FSAR and.with the Environmental Report for that apolication. At thdt tiUe, j

the. applicants for the other_ three 5NUPPS plants will stote their intent or referencing-the SHUPPS FSAR in their applications. Based'on our current practice, this lead l application, including the complete FSAR dnd tne.
Environmentdl Report, can be_ submitted on the order of 2-1/4 to 3 yedes-prior'to the projected construction completion for the first unit'. After this application has been decepted' for' review, we plan to issue a notice of' opportunity for hearing on both environmental end . safety uatters_ for tne lead SHUPPS plant application. For the other three SNUPPS plents, we also plan to issua ct'that time _ notices of receipt ef the SNUPPS FSAR wnicn the applicants intend to reference in their operating license applications, -
'and will also notice the opportunity for hearing on safety matters reldti,ng to the _SNUPPS FSAR for these plants. . ihese letter notices will. state tnat-the notices for opportunity for hearing on the remaining radiological safety matters-(i.e., the site-related and applicant-related portions of the F3AR) and on environmental matters (i.e. , the Environciental Report) for these plants will De issued after tne operating license applications, including these documents, have been accepted for review. Each of these succeeding dpplications, including the above cientioned documents, also should be submitted for review on the order of 2-1/2 co 3 years prior to tne projected construction completion date for each of the other three' plants.
After we couplete our review of the SNUPPS design, including the receipt
. of a favorable ACRS report, we will. issue a single staff Safety Evoludtion ,
Report (SER) for this design sdiich will be applicable to all four SNUPPS applications, except for good cause (sucn as extended delays in construqtion for later p< ants atter the SER has been issued). We expect that the ACRS
.+' will conduct a single review of the SNUPPS design. lhe SER .for the SNUPPS design review will then be used as an appendix to the SER's for each 'of the four SNUPPS applicdtions. the integrated application for each plant will also be reviewed by the ACRS.
- With regard to any pubiic hearings that May be required for the StiUPPS FSAR design scope of the SNUPPS applications, it is our intention to proceed on the basis of one generic nearing and we will develop licensing' schedules accordingly. Ihe procedure for conducting this generic hedring will likely depend on the circumstances present at tnet time and, tnerefore, cannot ue specified at this time.
We believe all of the above steps are in conformancs with our policies on standardization and provide for a uniform dnd consistent approacn to reviewing the standard portion of your plants. the above steps are also consistent with your proposals for nandling the nporating license review of the Si?JPPS plants, except for one aspect. As stated earlier, you propose that the staff also review the site information for each of the 4
S
k AUG 0 31978 four sites at the time the Si1UPPS FSAR is reviewed in order to " minimize I the possibility of design changes introduced at a late date in construction of the lead plants". The site information for each site was reviesed at the construction permit stage ano we concluded at that time that tne site. envelope parameters for the standard portion of your plant design
, adequately consider the limiting conditions for all four sites. At this time we have no reason to believe that our conclusion is' not still valid.
As each application for an oterating license is acceptea for review, we will evaluate the site data for each site to assure that it is still within the envelope established at the construction permit stage. In the event that the updated data for a specific site exceads this envelopa, any plant cesign changes that might be required by site-relatea consicer-ations at that site, would only be imposed on the plant at that site.
I believe that acequate consideration has been given to the preliminary planning of the operating license review of the SNUPPS plants. I-do not believe it is practical or proper to review the individual aspects of the different applications too far in advance of the completion of con-struction.
While the above discussion responds to all the matters raised in your
. letters, there is another matter related to the licensing process that I '
would like to bring to your attention at this time. In 1977, the staff reviewed the lessons it had learned during prior years in order to determine laprovements that might be made in its licensing procedures.
As a result of that review, the staff, in June 1977, issued tiUREG-0292, a report entitled " Nuclear Power Plant Licensingi Opportunities for Improvement."
NUREG-0292 descrices eleven recomendations for improvement. Excapt for Recommendation dos. 8 and 11, the Commission approved, implementation of the recommendations and the staff is in the process of doing so at the present time. While the thrust of the recommendations is airected mainly towards construction permit applications, many of tne principles involved may also be applicable to operating license applications.
I have enclosed a cocy of NUREG-0292 for your information. I would welcome your review of the recommendati:ns therein, and any suggestions that you mignt have for possible implementation, on your applications of Recomrw=ndation Nos. 3, 4 and 5. These three recommendations jointly address a method to obtain a staff Safety Evaluation Report some six l

to our mutual benefit, we would be pleased to discuss the matter with you; Please advise us,- if you have any. questions regarding any of the matters discussed herein.
