Mr. Robert L.
Baer, Chief Light Water Reactor Branch No. 2 Division of Project Management
Subject:
Greene County Nuclear Power Plant Requirements for Cold Shutdown Docket No. 50-549
Reference:
NRC Letter from Mr.
D.
B. Vassallo (NRC) to Mr.
G.
T.
Berry (PASNY) Dated October 20, 1978
Dear Mr. Baer:
By this letter, the Authority commits to modify the Greene County N'1 clear Power Plant design to satisfy the NRC's Cold Shutdown Requirements indicated in Enclosure (1) of i
your October 20, 1978 letter.
We make this commitment as a matter of licensing expediency in light of the NRC's refusal to treat this issue as a generic concern.
Our commitment should not be construed as an Authority agreement with the j
present NRC posture on the Cold Safe Shutdown issue.
In fact, the Authority fully agrees with and supports the B & W comment made in response to proposed Regulatory Guide 1.139
" Guidance for Residual Heat Removal" that this new requirement "will impose a significant financial burden on the industry and add further complexity to the plant while providing little, if any, safety or reliability benefits."
Notwithstanding our commitment to meet your present require-ments, the Authority reserves the right to take advantage of any relief which results "Es*an outgrowth of future industry /
NRC discussions on this issue.
If less restrictive NRC require-ments are promulgated, then the Authority will notify you and indicate any changes to the GCNPP dmign made to meet such requirements.
