Dear Mr. Denton:

Reference (a) responded to the Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report forwarded by Reference (b). The responses to items 2 and

Page 6-37 of Revision 6 addresses Item 2 concerning the specification of individuals with authority to authorize excess exposures. Pages 8-1 and 8-4 address the concerns raised in Item 9. The attached draft pages will be included in Revision 6 to the t Generic GSEP when it is submitted for NRC approval. We expect that submittal to occur around October 1, 1986. Please direct any questions you may havo regarding this matter to this office. One signed original and fifteen copies of this letter are provided j for your review. truly yours, [ / F~ ,M k%d F David H. Smith' Nuclear Licens'ing Administrator /klj %I j cc: J.
