Docket No. 50-346 '

Mr. Donald Shelton Vice Presfient, Nuclear Toledo Edison Company Edison Plaza l

300 Madison Avenue Toledo, OH 43652

Dear Mr. Shelton:

The NRC is in the process of conducting safeguards Regulatory Effectiveness Reviews 6L nuclear power reactors. I wish to inform you that the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1, has been chosen for such a review for the week of November 14-18, 1988.

Regulatory Effectiveness Reviews are designed to assure that Safeguards

-required by NRC's regulations, as implemented by licensees, provice the intended level of protection without compromising safety of operations.

These reviews complement NRC's licensing and regional inspection functions.

During its onsite review, the team compares the existing safeguards to NP.C's regulatory design basis threat. Some team members (external group) focus on security systems associated with the protected area while others (internal group) exa.mine security systems 7,ssociated with vital areas and equipment.

At the same time, a team engineer looks at alternative combinations of plant systems needing protection against sabotage to assure the capability for safe shutdown of the facility. The RER team includes NRC reactor safeguards specialists and at least two U.S. Army Special Forces personnel. Additional assistance for the RER team is provided by an inspector from the NRC regional office and the NRC resident inspector. Enclosed is a list of team members for whos unescorted access is requested. This enclosure should be treated as Official Use Only.

The first day onsite begins with an entrance briefing. You may wish to have a representative of your corporate staff present during this briefing, as it will provide an overview of the team's objectives and anticipated activities for the duration of the visit. Any licensee questions on methodology or other matters are then ac' dressed so that a common understanding can be reached.

Also, the suggested schedule for the week is discussed and key licensee contact persons are identified. It is through these contact persons that arrangements are made for knowledgeable licensee personnel to escort the team members during the review.

l After the RER team's entrance briefing, the entire RER team takes a general orientation tour of the protected area perimeter. The purpose of this orientation tour is to observe the surrounding terrain, the intrusion detection system, and isolation zones, physical barriers, safety-related ater sources, and buildings containing vital equipment. Following the orientatten tour, the D.am breaks into three separate subgroups to begin their detailed evaluations.

The last day of the review is reserved for a briefing of plant and corporate personnel on the preliminary results of the review.

Please provide appropriate plant personnel support for the three RER team subgroups during the scheduled review. Specifically, both the internal and external security groups will require an escort from the security department who can communicate with alarm stations, and the team angineer will need an individual familiar with the safety equipment location and functional capabilities at Davis-Besse. The team will make every effort to schedule its activities so as to avoid disruption of normal plant operations. The time that various team members spend onsite may vary, but generally will range from six to eight hours per day. The team will also be onsite on Tuesday or Wednesday evening for approximately two hours, beginning at dusk.

If you have any questions regarding the conduct of these Regulatory Effectiveness Reviews which you wish to have answered prior to the team's visit, please contact the team leader, Barry Mendelson, Reactor Safeguards Branch at (301) 492-3207 or James Creed of the Region Staff.

Sincerely.
