July 9, 1985 Docket No. 50-458 NOTE TO FILE:
SUBJECT:
RIVER BEND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS i
f On July 8,1985, a highly reliable source with professional tie's to Gulf States Utilities remarked in the presence of another TSRG member and myself that the River Bend staff was aware of many errors, discrepancies and problems in the current River Bend Technical
~
Specifications. He further said that GSE management had apparently instructed their staff to not pursue resolution of these items at this time since it would be time consuming and hold up the issuance of a license. They have determined that the plant can live by the current Tech Specs and changes will be pursued after licensing.
This philosophy is identical to that of MP&L or Grand Gulf and we are all too aware of the disastrous results of that case. Another f.
reason that GSU.would not want to pursue resolution at this time is that changes to Tech Specs will result in changes to operating e
procedures. With some 900 procedures to re-review and modify, if necessary, more time will be lost toward licensing.
5 If the above is true, CAUTION should be the mode for TSRG, technical reviewers, Region IV and EG5G in the final audit and review of Appendix "A" to the license. GSU has already demonstrated their inability to identify all errors in the certification of the
" Final Draft."
I would expect that their final certification will be performed in the same haste and will definitely not identify all problems if the above instructions are true.
