MEMORANDUM T0: File FROM: Stephen M. Stern, Project Manager ProjectDirectorate-IV Division of Reactor Proje~ cts - III, IV, V and Special Projects

SUBJECT:

MINUTES OF MEETING; NRC AND GULF STATES UTILITIES ON FUEL RELOAD OF MAY 8, 1987 i

The River Bend Station licensee, Gulf States Utilities, its contractor and the ,

staff met to review licensee plans for fuel reload. General Electric Corporation  !

attended as the licensee's contractor.

The licensee is currently projecting the end of their first refueling outage for November 1987.

The licensee and contractor state that the application for fuel reload will be i based on the General Electric standard fuel load application, GESTAR II. All i core reload materials will either be submitted on the River Bend docket or.by reference to GESTAR II which has earlier been docketed and approved by the staff.

The licensee and contractor stated that this application will be " conventional" with no special facets requiring additional staff resources for review.

The staff stated 'that the licensee must clearly specify and justify the applica-bility of all limiting events.

The staff advisea the licensee of resource limitations that might preclude timely review of a complex licensing application.
