SUBJECT:

CLOSURE OF OUTSTANDING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CONCERNS DERIVING FROM R. LICCIARD0's DP0 REVIEW 0F THE MCGUIRE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ,

During a meeting with the NRR/ Plant Systems Branch in 1988 to discuss Branch and 1 individual concerns, the writer informed you of his concerns for the delayed  ;

closure of Technical Specification deficiencies arising from his Differing.

Professional Opinion (DPO) Review of the McGuire Technical Specifications. As a consequence, you directed the writer to forward to the Chief, Technical Specifications Branch (TSB), for implementation, those items of that review which had already been confirmed by NRR for incorporation into the W Standard Technical Specifications (W STS). Enclosure 1 is a copy of the memorandum that forwards these items 70 the TSB for that purpose, to the subject:

Incorporation Of Items Into W STS Deriving From NRC Confirmation Of Generic And Multiplant Actions From R. Licciardo's DP0 Review Of The McGuire Technical Specifications.

Of the original 380 concerns (also contained in Enclosure 1), 220 items were originally selected by the Division of Systems Integration / Reactor Systems )'

Branch (DSI/RSB) for review by the Division of Licensing (DL) and in the enclosed document 90 are finally categorized as Generic, and an additional 12 as Multi Plant Action (a sub-category of Generic). Additionally, 45 Plant Specific items remain for final review, but these are not separately identified in this document at this time. Implementation of your direction will close out the Generic and Multiplant Action Items.

As a result of the NRC open door policy meeting the writer had in 1985.with Dr. Nunzio J. Palladino, then Chairman of the NRC, Dr. Palladino wrote a letter to the U.S. Congress dated May 17, 1985 (Enclosure 2) in which he promised an accelerated closure of all outstanding items of the McGuire DP0 review before the end of 1985 if the writer's concerns were confirmed.

Because of this commitment and the generic lack of licensing basis safety inWestinghouse(W) facilities (includingMcGuireUnits1and2) deriving from the current'open status of these items, I now ask that priority be given to their final closure including completion of the remaining 45 Plant Specific items for each of the McGuire units for which responses have been available from the licensee since June 10,1986(Enclosure 3). Further, because of the O ,
