Dear Dr. Palladino:
SUBJECT:
THREE HUNDRED SECOND MEETING OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS, JUNE 6-8, 1985 302nd ACRS Meeting The Committee met with representatives of the NRC Staff and completed its report to the NRC regarding the proposed Program Support Budget for the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research for FY 1987.
The Comittee discussed the proposed amendment to 10 CFR 50 on
" Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization."
Reports on the subjects noted above have been sent to you.
The Comittee discussed proposed revisions to Appendix J of 10 CFR Part 50,
" Leak Tests for Primary and Secondary Containments of Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants," and an associated draft Regulatory Guide (Task No. MS 021-5), " Containment System Leakage Testing."
The Committee discussed the proposed Regulatory Guide (Task No. IC 127-5), " Criteria for Programable Digital Computer Systems Software in Safety-Related Systems of Nuclear Power Plants."
The Comittee's comments on the subjects noted above have been provided to the Executive Director for Operations. Copies have been sent to you.
The Comittee met with representatives of the NRC Staff to review the NRC draft Safety Goal Evaluation Report dated April 1985. The Comittee was unable to complete its recomendations to the Comission regarding this matter.
