- September 9, 1986 Docket Nos. 50-321 and 50-366 Mr. J. T. Beckham, Jr.
Vice President-Nuclear Generation Georgia Power Company P.O. Box 4545 Atlanta, Georgia 30302
Dear Mr. Beckham:
SUBJECT:
10 CFR 50.48 FIRE PROTECTION MODIFICATIONS, IMPLEMENTATION DEADLINES Re:
Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 On April 2(, 1986 Generic Letter 86-10 " Implementation of Fire Protection Requirements" was sent to all power reactor licensees and applicants for power reactor licenses.
Paragraph A of that letter states that each;1icensee will be informed of the deadline applicable to the corresponding plant.
We have reviewed the applicable background correspondence and regulations.
The Appendix R deadlines applicable to Hatch Units 1 and 2 are as follows:
A.
For those changes that involve revisions of administrative controls, manpower changes and training, the 10 CFR 50.48 deadline is 30 days after the effective date of the rule.
The rule became effective on February 19, 1981.
The deadline was thus March 21, 1981.
B.
For those modifications which do not require prior NRC approval or plant shutdown, the 10 CFR 50.48 deadline is nine months after the effective date of the rule.
However, this deadline was extended by our letter of fiay 4,1982, to nine months after June 30, 1982.
The extended deadline was thus March 30, 1983.
For those modifications covered by your July 1, 1982 exemption requests as modified by your letters of April 28, May 27, November 16 and 30, and December 20, 1983, the deadline was tolled.
The staff action on those exemptions requests was April 18, 1984.
This established a new deadline of January 18, 1985 for those modifications.
This deadline was subsequently extended to November 30, 1986 by our letter dated January 16, 1985.
C.
For those modifications which do not require prior NRC approval but do require plant shutdown, the 10 CFR 50.48 deadline is startup after the earliest of the following events commencing 180 days or more after the effective date of the rule:
(1) the first refueling outage; (2) a planned outage that lasts at least sixty days, or (3) an unplanned outage that lasts at least 120 days.
For purposes of establishing this deadline, the effective date of the rule was extended to June 30, 1982 by our May 4, 1982 letter.
The applicable outage began November 5, 1983 and ended December 11, 1983 for Unit 1 and began April 4, 1983 and ended July 18, 1983 for Unit 2.
The deadline was thus December 11, 1983 for Unit 1 and 8609120136 860909 PDR ADOCK 05000321 F
PDR f
. July 18, 1983 for Unit 2.
For modifications for which exemptions were requested, the deadline was tolled by our April 18, 1984 letter.
The deadline for those modifications was the end of the outages which began November 27, 1985 for Unit 1 and April 5, 1985 for Unit 2.
That date was May 13, 1986 for Unit 1 and May 25, 1986 for Unit 2.
D.
For alternative shutdown modifications which require NRC prior approval and plant shutdown, the deadline is the startup after the irliest of the following events commencing 180 days after NRC approval which.was given by letter dated February 11, 1983:
(1) the first refueling outage; (2) a planned outage lasting at least 60 days, or (3) an unplanned outage lasting at least 120 days.
The deadline was thus the end of the refueling outage that ended December 11, 1983 for Unit 1 and September 5, 1984 for Unit 2.
E.
For dedicated shutdown systems installation the deadline is thirty months after NRC approval.
No modifications in this category have been identified.
F.
For alternate shutdown capability modifications which require NRC prior approval and do not require plant shutdown, the deadline is six months after NRC approval.
The deadline (based on the April 18, 1984 SE date) was therefore October 18, 1984.
By letter dated May 16, 1986 you requested additional schedular exemptions to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.48.
Specifically, you requested that the current implementation deadline of November 30, 1986 be extended for each unit to the end of its next scheduled refueling outage commencing after November 30, 1986 for installation of (1) new circuit breakers and fuses needed to ensure coordinated circuits, and (2) a control power transfer switch in the Diesel Building switchgear room 1F.
We are reviewing this request at present.
Please advise the Project Manager within 30 days of receipt of this letter of the status of all other remaining Appendix R modifications with respect to the above deadlines.
The reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements contained in this letter affect fewer than 10 respondents; therefore, OMB clearance is not required under P.L.96-511.
Sincerely, I
