MEMDRANDUM FbR:

Harold D. Thornburg, Director, DRCI, IE FROM:

GIy Ag Arlotto, Director, DES, SD

SUBJECT:

STANDARDS REVIEW REQUESTS 1

I have mytewed your memorandum dated August 23,1978 staung that IE has found a sizeable fraction of standards developed under the aegis of the Amerfcae National Standards Institute (ANSI) tutorial rather than i

specific.

u observe that most of the standards in this category are sponsored by the American Nuclear Society (ANS), and you cita two recent examples ANSI N658/ANS-51.7 and ANSI N403/ANS-6.4, suggesting that the NRC not endorse these particuQ staasrds with regulatory guides.

I agree with your observation that a standard lacking specific require-meets'is difficult, if not impossible, to enforce and that, in general,

..g such standards shouldinet.be endorsed by reguTatory guides.- In fact, we c

6 continua to amphasfae-this point te. correspondence with ANS as well as

~ with other societies uhe satunft standards lacking sufficient speciffeity.

Furtier#more, I share your observations concerning the two example stan-dards cit.ad;'neither standard contains a great number of specific require-monts that are faspectable or veriffable, and design adequacy would be i difficult to vertfy without access to more detailed specifications or design docummets. At the same time, we 1e Standards recognize that we

.are a service orgaafzation and serve several customers. For the two staedards you. referenced, one of our customers, NRR, believes the stan-dards have sufficient merit to be endoned. -On this basis, we intend to go fomard.

t Concerning your suggestion to better monitor standards work, i agree that we should not spend significant amounts of staff time on standards not meeting NRC needs. To this end, most working groups preparing ANS stan-dards include wNRC mesher.

In addition to providing technical input, the NRC member has the Mspntsibility to assure that a standard under i

preparation will be of value to NRC; otherwise the member has a respon-l sibility to withdraw fMm participation.

In sumary, let me assure you that we are comitted to encouraging the development of standards that are specific and e orceable. As evidence of this comitment, Mr. Minogue used your numrandum to emphasize this point in a presentation to the ANSI Nuclear Standards Management Board on September 14, 1978.

Standard N658-lhlits is a design standard which has been prepared by a working group with NRC membership and which has received staff review. On September 14, 1978, an " approve with coments" ballot was issued by the NRC representative on ANS Comittee ANS-52. A copy of the ballot, the forwarding letter and the detailed coments are attached for your information and use.

In sumary, bot standards delineate design criteria rather than detailed s9ecifications, nd as such, do not easily lend themselves to " cookbook" type use during spection.

However, both standards are considered valuable as refer ces for adequate design and therefore I expect both i

I standards to be e rsedbyRegulatoryGuJd's.

l9ur continued assistance e

in reviewing these tandards is appreci ed.
