Dear Mr. Mattimoe:
By letter dated September 27, 1978, you informed us of the modifications you proposed to make at Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station to enhance the capability to detect reactor coolant leakage in the Reactor Building through the use of radiation monitors.
Your submittal was made in response to our letter of August 7,1978, wherein we took note of the deficiencies of tf.e present system and described appropriate performance crite l'a for an upgraded system.
This is to advise you that the modifications proposed in your letter of September 27, 1978, are acceptable in oncept and that if the new equipment meets the performance criteria described in our letter of August 7,1978, the modifications will be functionally acceptable.
l This is not to say, however, that these modifications would or would l
not adversely affect the safety of operations or degrade existing i
systems.
This determination initially should be made by your on-site l
and off-site review conmittees, as appropriate.
l If your review of the proposed modification determines that it does constitute an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10 CFR 50.59, a comprehensive safety evaluation should be prepared and submitted for our review and approval prior to in"-'ementation of the modification.
Conversely, if your review does not int.cate that an unreviewed safety question is involved, you should proceed to implement the proposed modification in a form corsistent with our stated performance criteria as soon as practicable.
Sincerely, g'
' hl.,
