Subject:

Request for Additional Information Relating to a Proposed Operating License Extension - Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 Your letter dated August 11, 1986, concerning the-above subject has been reviewed. Our review indicates additional infomation is needed to complete the action. During earlier telecons, we advised your staff of our generic concerns and of other recent licensing actions we have taken for similar requests of other licensees. We provided the infomation to assist your staff in obtaining additional information of a generic nature while we continued the review.

For us to continue the review, you are requested to provide additional information noted in the enclosure. Please note that your requested approval date of April 3,1987, depends upon a timely reply.

The reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements of this letter affect fewer than 10 respondents; therefore OMB clearance is not required under P.L.96-511.

Sincerely,

ENCLOSURE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMr. TION FOR EXTENSION OF OPERATING LICENSE JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-348 AND 50-364 The following infonnation is requested in order for the NRC staff to make an acceptable finding for the radiolooical and non-radiological impacts of the extension:

1. Population information similar to FES Section ?.2.1 should be updated

a. Population data should be current to include the 1080 census data and estimated projections to include at least the periods of the extension requested.

, b. Provide a discussion of trends and forecasts within 50 miles of the plant includino percentage increase or decrease considering at least the years 1970 and 1980.

b

c. Within b. above, include data for the actual populations of at least Dothan, Columbia and Ashford from the 1970 and 1980 census

• and a projection throuch the period of the extensions. You may wish i to provide figures similar to the referenced FSAR Figures 2.1-5

through 2.1.8 with the town locations shown thereon. -

i i

2. Provide statements regarding the impact (10 CFR Part 1001 on the Exclusion Area Boundary, Low Population Zone and the nearest population centers using the most current actual populations for 1980 projected through the period of the extensions.

3. Provide a quantification of the radiological impacts to the general population based on the calculated off-site doses (Table 3-1 of APCo letter dated August 11,1986). Examples of supporting information- for j discussion may be as follows:

a. Discuss the impact of the estimated dose commitments for 40 years of plant operation.

b. Identify any specific land use changes which may affect offsite dose calculations, particularly those for ingestion pathways for child thyroid.

4

c. Provide a general comparison of the radiological impacts on man as assessed in the FES with those actually experienced during plant operations. Discuss offsite dose calculations on actual effluent releases and compare to pro.iected releases and Appendix I guidelines.

d

5 2-a

4. For the uranium fuel cycle provide a statement regarding the environmental impact of the longer production run for the fuel cycle and any net annual effects on Table S-3 in 10 CFR 50.51. Also, state any impacts of the 18-month fuel cycles versus the 12-month cycles used for the FES and FSAR.

5. Provide a projection of the occupational radiation exposure expected for the periods of the extensions. Provide an estimate of the expected dose savings from the ALARA program during the extension. Identify examples of any major design changes or modifications which would impact the radiation exposures, i.e., steam generator replacement, if projected.

6. Provide a comparison of actual radwaste shipments for recent operating years to that shown in FES Table 11.4 and the estimated incremental change for the extension periods.

i 7. Provide a statement indicating the current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit number and date of issuance as well as termination date if one exists.

8. Provide a statement identifying any FES or FSAR section wherein time of operation of less than 40 years was assumed.
