Docket No. 50-382 Mr. J. G. Oewease Senior Vice President - Nuclear Operations Louisiana Power and Light Company 317 Baronne Street, Mail Unit 17 New Orleans, Louisiana 70160
Dear Mr. Dewease:
SUBJECT:
SYSTEMS ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. (SERI) LICENSE AMENDMENT APPLICATION FOR WATERFORD 3 By letter dated July 1, 1988, you submitted a preposed license amendment for SERI to assume responsibility for operation of Waterford 3.
In your letter and the attachment, Louisiana Power and Light (LP&L) agreed to provide information to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on a number of items. These include a copy of the LP&L/SERI operating agreenent, significant organizational changes, the status of other regulatory agency approvals, and the status of infonra-tional activities with the public.
This information is important to our review.
At our meeting on June 15, 1988, we discussed the above items and others. To assure we agree or have the full informatioi to complete our review, we believe we need to clarify several details. We understand that the initial reorganiza-tion will, for the most part, change the organizational name of management and staff currently operating Waterford 3 from LP&L to SERI.
It is your view that this change in name will not affect in any substantial way the current plans such as Emergency Prepardness, Security, Quality Assurance or others. Our regulations govern the changes to these plans and are appropriate for changes which are specific to the current site related management and personnel. Our concern, however, is with future organizational changes within SERI where it is anticipated that some centralizaticn of functions will occur for the facili-ties involved.
As uming this centralization occurred away from the New Orleans area it would be cocessary for the NRC to review and approve at that time the proposed orgaiizr'ional capability at the other site to assure that +.he plan implementa-l tion u at the same or higher level of competence that we have found acceptable for your current organization. Once we have approved that centralized plan l
change, any subsequent change would again be made in accordance with our regulations and not necessarily subject to this special review. This does not mean, however, that we will be receptive to proposed centralization efforts tha+ detract from existing connitments or otherwise adversely affect how you l'
meec regulatory requirements sucF Js with the Emergency Prepardness Plan.
For example, we expect the Emergen g f.carations Facility to remain within 50 miles of the site and we expect the M iion making responsibilities and coordination with local and state agencies t.ome from the SERI-Waterford (New Orleans area) personnel.

Mr. J. G. Dewease July 28,1988 At the June 15th meeting we also discussed the need to clearly indicate in the license conditions language that Waterford 3 fuel would not be relocated to other facilities and that other facilities fuel would not be relocated to Waterford 3 without specific prior NRC review and approval. Your July 1, 1988 letter provided a commitment, however, we intend to modify your license to include this as a license condition. We had also discussed in general terms the financial obligations of LP&L.
Either the LF&L/SERI operating agreement, condition of license, or some other clear understanding should be modified to indicate who will be responsible for payment of any civil penalties levied by the NRC if and when they may be incurred by SERI for Waterford 3 related activities.
Based on the above, it is requested that LP&L respond with information relative to the issues discussed above or with specific proposed changes to further support your proposed license amendment. The LP&L response should be with the understanding and concurrence of SERI managemant.
If there are any questions in this matter, please let us know.
The reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements contained in this letter affect fewer than 10 respondents; therefore, OMB clearance is not required under P.L 96-511.
