SUMMARY
OF MAY 12, 1988 MEETING WITH Til ELECTRIC At a meeting held on May 12, 1988 in Rockville, Maryland, NRC staff met with TV Electric to discuss a design change involving the backup meteorological monitoring tower at Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station. A list of attendees is provided as Enclosure 1.
TU Electric is seeking the staff's approval for relocation of the backup net tower in order to resolve certain emergency plan-ning open issues (Enclosure 2 contains the slides presented at the meeting).
Open issues 445/8807-02 and 446/8806-02 concern data recovery in that the ap-plicant has not been able to demonstrate long-tem joint data recovery greater than 90%. Open issues 445/8333-70 and 445/8317-70 concern representativeness in that the applicant has not been successful in conducting a real-time com-parison of 10-meter data from the backup tower with similar data from the f
primary tower.
Relocation of the backup tower from its current location 3/4 mile west of the primary tower to the proposed location about 75 feet east of the primary tower would facilitate calibration, repairs and maintenance and would serve to enhance reliability and data recovery.
The proposed relocation so that the primary and backup towers are in close physical proximity to each other would also likely result in better comparisons of real-time data.
l TV Electric's current schedule calls for engineering design completion by 1
June 15, 1988 with construction to be completed by July 31, 1988. Amendment 72 I
to the FSAR, to be submitted July 1, 1988 will describe the change in location i
of the backup tower. NRC headquarters staff will review the FSAR change, prepare input to an SSER and coordinate with RIV stiff to ensure that the emergency planning open issues are resolved.
