RARE 85-038 February 20, 1985 Ms. Sarah M. Davis Reliability and Risk Assessment Branch Division of Safety Technology U.S. Nuc lear Regulatory Commission Washington,'U.C. 20555 I,UBJECT: Monthly Management Letter #9 Month of January 1985 NRC FIN-A0801 Review of the Seabrook Probabilistic Risk Assessment
Dear Ms.,
Davis:
~1. Proje:t Description and objective The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation is conducting a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) review program in which PRAs performed and submitted to the NRC by, license applicants and licensees receive comprehensive review and evaluation. The program is the responsibility of the Reliability and Risk Assessment Branch (RRAB).
A PRA of the Subrook Nuclear Power Plant (Seabrook PRA) has been submitted to the NRC by Pablic Service Company of New ilampshire, an operating license (OL) e applicant. The review of this document, whose title is "Seabrook Station Probabilistic Safety Assessment," is being performed as one project in the larger NRC program.
Th objective of this project is to perform an expeditious and cost effective review of those aspects of the Seabrook PRA leading to the estimates of the freqdetetes of each plant damage state and the associated uncertainty spread to determtur the accuracy of these estimates. The review will cover method-ology, assumptions, data, information sources, models, plant understanding, aompleteness of the analysis and other areas where inconsistencies may arise which could affect the quantitative or qualitative results.
3 2.' Progress for Period
- a. Work on the project was reduced to a very low level following delivery of the draft report in December.
- b. A set of options for finalizing the report and completing the contract was presented to NRC in late January.
- 3. Work to be Accomplished Next Month
- a. Work on the project will essentially be stopped pending an NRC decision on an option for completing the contract.

- 5. Concerns As noted in the Monthly Program Report lfor January, the process of completing the draft report in December, on the accelerated schedule requested by NRC, resulted in an urgent requirement for an additional increment of funding in the amount of $40K. A request was made to the NRC for an immediate funding
~
increment in this amount.
- 6. Other The total expenditures noted in Attachment A, including liens, are approximately $177.3K. This 'avount ex'ceeds, the $121.9K carryover from FY84 by
$55.4K, but this last number includes subcontractor liens (for work not yet executed or authorized) in excess of $15K.
