MEMDRANDUM POR: M. D. Lynch, LPM Light Water Reactors Branch #4, DPM FROM: Earl H. Markee, Jr. , Leader Meteorology Section Hydrology-Meteorology Branch, DSE

SUBJECT:

FSAR SECOND ACCEPTAMCE REVIEW - METEORCLOGY PLANT: WFPSS Nuclear Project No. 2 LICENSDiG STAGE: OL DOCKET NIR!BER: 50-397 MILESTONE No.: 01-62 RESPONSIBLE BRANC11: LURf4 We have reviewed the sections concerning meteorology of the UPPSS-2 Final Safety Analysis Report (second acceptance review) and have 'found it acceptable. The Project did rewrite portions of the original FSAR for this second acceptance review; the rewrite responded to several of our initial acceptance review questions.

So that we can easily identify the responses to our first acceptance review questions, we ask that you resend to the Project our initial questions (Q372.1-6) which we sent to you on May 6,1977, and that the Project simply reference and highlight in the FSAR margins those sections which responded to the first review questions. Ua have added one question which we ask that you also forward. John Coll and I prepared these questions.
