l SEP 8 - 1987 In Reply Refer To:

Docket: 50-458 Gulf States Utilities ATTN: Mr. James C. Deddens Senior Vice President, (RBNG)

Nuclear Licensing P. 0. Box 220 St. Francisville Louisiana 70775 s

Gentlemen:

l This documents the meeting held August 27, 1987, between representatives of your staff and Region IV.

The list of attendees is atte 3d.

Three subjects were discussed. These were:

River Bend performance, the meeting with the state of Louisiana concerning the Reed Report, and some Technical Specification issues.

i The discussion of plant performance was related to licensee filings with the Security and Exchange Commission concerning financial issues. With regard to this issue, the licensee stated that the graphs and charts which they would use during the presentation were proprietary. The NRC staff reviewed the charts and did not reach a conclusion as to whether or not they were proprietary.

Since the material was not of a regulatory nature, the question was considered moot, and the material was returned to the licensee at the end of the meeting.

The licensee's points related to performance included such items as the capacity factor achieved first fuel cycle, the nature and significance of various work items, personnel status, and financial indicators.

The licensee concluded that the corporate financial problems had not affected River Bend operations or compromised the corporate commitment to nuclear safety.

The discussion concerning the meeting with the state of Louisiana was only to determine if it appeared that the state's questions concerning the Reed Report had been answered.

Gulf States Utilities Technical Specification action statements were discussed in order to ascertain the licensee's position on voluntary entry into an action statement.

It was found that the licensee believed that this should normally be done only for planned preventive maintenance and that any voluntary entry for other reasons should be carefully evaluated.

Should you have any questions concerning the above, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.

Sincerely, Oridnal C - ': by:
