-l WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 FEB 04 W MEMORANDUM FOR:
Harold R. Denton, Director, NRR James M. Taylor, Director, IE John B. Martin, Regional Administrator, Region V FROM:
Victor Stello, Jr.
Acting Executive Director of Operations
SUBJECT:
STAFF ACTIONS RESULTING FROM THE INVESTIGATION 0F THE NOVEMBER 21 SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT I EVENT (NUREG-1190)
An advance copy of the subject report was transmitted to you by memorandum dated January 20, 1986 from the San Onofre Team Leader, Thomas T. Martin. The report documents the Team's efforts in identifying the circumstances and causes of the November 21, 1985 event, together with findings and conclusions which fom the basis for identifying follow-on actions.
You will note from the report that the licensee has not completed troubleshooting and the determination of root causes for all equipment failures or malfunctions. Consequently, the results of future troubleshooting or analysis activities may form the basis for additional follow-on actions.
The identification of these additional actions is a responsibility of the nomal program office. The responsibility for the followup and reporting on the licensee's continued troubleshooting and determination of root cause for equipment failures is Region V.
The purpose of this memorandum is to identify and assign responsibility for generic and plant-specific actions resulting from the investigation of the San Onofre event (documented in NUREG-1190).
In this regard, you are requested to review the enclosure which specifies staff actions resulting from the investigation of the San Onofre event.
You are requested to determine the actions necessary to resolve each of the items in your area of responsibility and, where appropriate, identify additional staff actions or revisions as our review and understanding of this event are refined. Plant-specific actions required for plant restart should receive priority attention.
In view of the importance of this subject, I intend to closely monitor the resolution of these items.
By March 1,1986, please provide a written summary of the schedule and status of each item within your responsibility listed in the enclosure or that you have identified.
Further, I request that you prepare a written status report on the disposition of your items (and anticipated actions for uncompleted items) within three to six months. Every effort should be made to dispose of these items promptly.

'o, The enclosure is based on the Team's report and its presentation to the Commission on January 22, 1986. Accordingly, it does not include all licensee actions, nor does it cover NRC staff activities associated with normal event followup such as authorization for restart, plant inspections, or possible enforcement items. These items are expected to be defined and implemented in a routine manner. Overall lead responsibility for staff actions relating to facility restart is separate from this effort and rests with Region V.
Additionally, RV is responsible for coordinating and promptly communicating the staff's requirements which must be resolved before operations at San Onofre may be resumed.

[dTM -[h-N Washington, D.C. 20555 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT RSQUEST: High Burnup Fuel Experimentation in Commercial Lightwater Reactors i
To the Director:
This is a r3 quest under tha ?r3edom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. #552, as amended, and the regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission implementing the Act, 10CFR Part 9, Subpart A.
This request is made on behalf of the Illinois Safe Energy Alliance.
i This request seeks all records, as defined in 10CFR, Part 9, Subpart A, 3ection 9 3 a (b), which refer to or are related to the performance of high burnup fuel and high burnup spent fuel in commercial nuclear i
power reactors and spent fuel pools in the United States and other i
countries. High burnup experimentation is also known as " uranium utilization" and " extended burnup."
The records sought are all of those dated or which refer to the period from 1975 to and including the present date.
The enclosed list details scme, (but, by no means all), of the records sought.
Because none of the statutory exemptions from the Act's mandatory i
disclosure provisions applies, access to the requested records should be granted within ten (10) working days.
In the unlikely event, i
l however, that access is denied to any part of the requested records, please describe the deleted material in detail and specify the statutory basis for the denial as well as your reasons for believing that the I
alleged statutory justification applies in this instance.
Please I
separately state your reasons for not invoking your discretionary powers to release the requested documents in the public interest.
I anticipate that you will make the requested materials available within the statutorily prescribed period.
I also request that you waive any applicable fees since disclosure meets the statutory standard for waiver of fees in that " furnishing the information can be considered as primarily benefiting the general public.", 5 U.S.C.A.
- 552 (a)(4)(A), since the Illinois Safe Energy Alliance is a public interest organization.
