1. Would you be interested in participating in ISAP II? If so, in what time framo?

Currently, no; however, a seminar as described in Item 2, below, and resolution of concerns expressed in Items 4 and 5 would be information important to our decision process. If participation were to occur, the earliest it would take place would be in the 1990-1991 time frame.

2. Do you believe that an industry /NRC. seminar consisting of a brief ,

discussion by NRC followed by a question and answer period would be beneficial prior to makin6 a decision?

Yes.

3. Woold you bo interestod in a one-on-one meeting with the ERC to discuss your particular facility or facilities? 7 No.

4. It' you remain undecided regarding participaticn, what additional information do you need in order to make a decision?

! sion efforts?

5. Do you have any potential concerns about participating in ISAP. II?

Concerns regarding participation in ISAP II are as follows:

.- The impact on resources to support the ISAP II effort is unknown.

- The potential exists for older facilities to be required to meet current standards without appropriate backfit needs considerations.

- The potential for a perception by the media that the ISAP II was necessary because of safety problems in the facility.

- The potential for modifications as a result of high and medium priority item resolution to cause an extension of the normal two month annual refueling outage duration.
