January 16, 1987 y Virginia Electric and Power Company p.[O ATTN: Mr. W. L. Stewart, Vice President, 80 Nuclear Operations P. O. Box 26666 Richmond, VA 23261 Gentlemen:

We invite your utility's participation in a one-day workshop on the NRC's Incident Investigation Program (IIP). An agenda for the workshop is enclosed in . Please note that we have included a brief session at the end of the workshop on the NRC's approach to performance indicators for those who are interested in that subject.

The purpose of the workshop on IIP is to give you an understanding of the process by which the NRC will investigate potential significant incidents and to provide an opportunity to gain insight into what the NRC will expect of the utility in this process. You will have an opportunity to raise questions about the process and its impact on you.

The workshop for utilities in the NRC's Region II will take place on Wednesday, February 18, at the Russell Federal Building located at 75 Spring Street, S. W. ,

in Atlanta, Georgia. An opportunity to pick up any additional workshop materials will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. on February 18.

In order to give you adequate time to become familiar with the NRC's IIP procedures, we are enclosing a set of revised procedures (Enclosure 2) with this invitation. The procedures were provided to all Owners' Groups, INP0, and NSAC for review and comment. The industry responses have been reviewed and a number of the procedures were modified to incorporate the comments. For your information, Enclosure 3 contains our resolution of all comments received from industry on the IIT procedures. We hope this information will also provide you additional insight into the IIP. In addition, Enclosure 4 contains information describing the Performance Indicator Program.

Final approval by the Commission of the proposed changes to 10 CFR 55 has been delayed. Therefore, Region II is postponing the workshop on current Operator Licensing issues previously scheduled for February 19, 1987. You will be notified of the rescheduled time, location, and agenda.

We thank you in advance for your support and interest in these subjects.

Sincerely, 0:' a Um Ey-J. E n a J. Nelson Grace Regional Administrator
