Fermi 2 NRC Docket No. 50-341 NRC License No. NPF-43 (2)

June 24, 1986 Telephone Call, M. D. Lynch (NRC) to R. Drury (for R. L. Woolley, Detroit Edison), " Request for Information on Quarry Closer than France Stone quarry in Monroe, MI"

Subject:

Response to NRC Concerns About Operations at Rockwood Ouarry In the Reference 2 telephone conversation and subsequent inquiries from Messrs. Lynch and DePayette, NRC expressed concerns about potential effects of operations at the Rockwood Stone, Incorporated (RSI) quarry on safe operation of the Fermi-2 plant.

This quarry is located approximately 3 miles north-northeast of Fermi-2, whereas the two quarries described in the Fermi-2 PSAR are at least eight miles away.

Detroit Edison has obtained information on the operations at the RSI quarry and concludes that operations there have no effect on safe operation of Fermi-2.

The information and basis for this conclusion are presented in the attachment.

Detroit Edison has performed an evaluation to determine if the presence of the RSI quarry constitutes an unreviewed safety question.

Although 10CFR50.59 may not require this evaluation, its conduct ensures a comprehensive review.

The results of the 50.59 evaluation confirmed that the presence of the RSI quarry does not constitute an j

unreviewed safety question.
