Dear Mr,

Reed:-

By a letter dated June 30, 1980 Mr. R. H. Suchholz forwarded the GE' Emergen:y Proce&re Guidelines to D. G. Eisenhut.. On August 7 and 8, 1980, we met with representatives of the GE Owners' Group, General Electric Company and Connonwealth Edison (LaSalle Nuclear Station) to discuss the Emergency Procedure Guidelines, Revision 0, June 30,1980. Based on the results of that meeting and the review conducted te date by the staff, we find the Emergency Procedure Guidelines acceptable for trial implementation

- at the LaSalle, Zimmer, Shoreham, Fermi 2, Susquehanna, and Washington Nuclear Project 2 stations. This letter is sent to you as Chairman of the BWR Owners' Group cn beha!' of the participants.

During the course of implementation we may identify areas that require modification or further analysis and justification. Since we anticipate that changes will be nuessary regarding detailed widance, your training program should properly secount for such future procedural revisions. We will inform you of these areas as our review proceeds.

We recognize that postulating multiple equipment failures and operator errors j

can lead to situations that place a plant outside the limits of its technical specifications. While we in no way encourage deliberate operation outside of technical specification limits, we agree that the pidance provided in the draft guidelines is necessary to encompass the range of contingencies required when multiple failures are postulated. Operator training in use of f he new procedures developed from these guidelines naast stress this point and will l

be raiewed during our plant-specific reviews.

In our review to date, we have identified several areas where additional information is required. These areas are identified in the enclosure to this letter. Please inform us tg October 10, 1980, of your schedule for submitting this information.
