Docket Nos. 50-280/281 General Comment The January 30, 1987 exemption request, for the secondary power supply system not being protected as vital, has been discussed with site personnel. Another alternative appears to simplify the number of security upgrades needed to meet the new requirement. A response to this request is being sent under separate Cover.
