Five of these involve fire of the five is essentially cceplete and the Tech. Spec. package is in OGr.}One protection issues for whic.h CMEB has lead responsibility for our review.
A sixth fire protection issue involves a proposed Exemption to Appendix R rtquirements relating to safe shutdown. The SER on this proposed exes'/ tion is j
being completed by SPLB and no technical, procedural, or schedular cracerns are evident.
P.. Wessman and D. Mcdonald met with C. McCracken and D. Notley of the CMEB to review the five issues being reviewed by the CMEB and apree to target dates for completion of the staff effort. Enclosure 1 sunnarizes th's status of these actions. We believe the target dates for completion of our effort will not place us on the utility's "critical path."
l We indicated in the enclosure that one item (seals-4-inch and under) is waiting for a submittal. We have just received the submittal and provided it i
to D. Notley.
Two other items (Control Room Floor, and Combustible Loadings in the RB and Torus Room) may not be acceptable to the staff. We are I
continuing our dialegue with BEco regarding these three issues. We have contacted BEco management to ensure deco is giving proper attention to fire I
protection issues and are continuing our dialogue with BECo regarding these
- issues, i
