. Gentlemen:

)

This letter is.to inform you that an emergency operating procedures inspection will be conducted at the Braidwood and Byron Nuclear Generating s

Stations on May 8-19, 1989. A ' pre-entrance meeting during the week _of May -

1, 1989, will be coordinated through the office of the NRC Senior Resident-Inspector at the.Braidwood site.

For planning purposes, we have enclosed a' preliminary inspection schedule.

The inspection team plans on arriving onsite at approximately 0700 and will work until approximately 1700 daily, except Sunday.

During.the inspection, the inspection team will require a reasonably quiet room with tables and chairs for 10 people and a telephone. This room may be-inside.or outside the protected area. However,.the inspectors must have ready access to both units and should be in close proximity to your emergency operating procedures, WOG emergency response guidelines, procedures generation package, setpoint documents, deviation documents, and other supporting ' documentation required by NUREG 0737, Supplement 1, and NUREG 0899. The attachment outlines the time when this room will be required for each site.

The first phase of the inspect 10n at each site will be a desk-top review of the aforementioned documents and will include a review of your 50.59 analysis for safety significant deviations. During the desk-top review, we will periodically require the services of your E0P developer to supply answers and documentation to resolve questions.

The second phase of the inspection will be walkdowns of select E0Ps and off-normal procedures at both the Byron and Braidwood facilities. During the control room and remote shutdown panel portion of the walkdowns, we will need the services of licensed SR0/R0s. During the inplant portion of the walkdowns, we will need the services of auxiliary / equipment operators or R0s that had been certified as auxiliary / equipment operator. As part  ;

of the E0P walkdowns, the team will review your environmental impact study 1 (radiation and temperature) to verify that the operators can safely I operate the valves, switches, and equipment specified in the Byron and Braidwood E0Ps during a worst-case scenario.
