SUBJECT:

PADUCAH CERTIFICATE AMENDMENT REQUEST - CAAS CLUSTER ADDITION TO TSR 2.6.4.1; CAAS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY REVISION FOR TSR 2.3.4.7; CROSS REFERENCE REVISION FOR TSR 2.2.4.4 (TAC NO. L32073)

! Dear Mr. Miller-l This refers to your application dated May 13,1998, requesting an amendment to Certificate of Compliance GDP-1 for the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant to revise Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs) 2.6.4.1, 2.3.4.7, and 2.2.4.4.

Our review of your application has identified additional information that is needed before final  !

- action can be taken on your request. The revision to TSR 2.6.4.1 involves adding a new criticality accident alarm system (CAAS) cluster to the TSR. The proposed cluster is cluster AC which covers operations in C-746-Q-1. This cluster is currently under the control of the Department of Energy (DOE), it is our understanding that the area (and operations) covered by cluster AC is not leased by USEC and will remain under DOE control. Since the NRC does not .J have any legal authority to regulate DOE activities, we cannot approve a TSR that covers DOE operations. Pleat e remove the changes to TSR 2.6.4.1 from the amendment request. If our understanding of the situation is incorrect, please submit documentation that indicates the area in C-746-Q-1 covered by cluster AC has been leased by USEC.

The additional information shou;d be provided within 30 days of this letter. Please reference the above TAC No. in future correspondence related to this request.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (301) 415-8126.

Sincerely, Orl0lnal Signed By Merri Hom .
