Subject:
Periodic Notification of Review for Changes Impacting the Aircraft Hazard Analysis Gentlemen In accordance with Reference (b), Section 2.2.1, New Hampshire Yankee (NHY) is required to periodically (every three years) review the frequency of flight operations and the type of aircraft using the Pease Air Force Base in Newington, New Hampshire.
The review is conducted to determine if there has been an appreciable change in the flight operational frequency or in the type of aircraft using the airbase which would provide the potential for a significant increase in risk to the plant.
In response to the above requirement, a review and evaluation of the frequency of flight cperations and types of aircraft has been conducted. The review concluded that the aircraft hazard analysis presented in FSAR Sections 2.2.1 and 3.5.1.6 continues to represent a conservative bounding estimate of the current aircraft hazard at the Seabrook Site.
l This conclusion is based on the reduction in the traffic count for aircraft operating out of Pease Air Force Base and the lower flight crash frequency for the FB-111A aircraft since the FSAR analysis was developed. In
]
addition the types of aircraft currently using Pease are consistent with the original FSAR analysis. Also, New Hampshire Yankee (NHY) has been advised that I
the aircraft hazard at Pease will be significantly reduced beginning in the summer of 1990 due to the transfer of all FB-111A aircraft to another facility and the pending closure of Pease Air Force Base (see enclosed Pease announcement). Periodic review will be continued if Pease closes but is used as a commercial airport.

Base on closure list Pease is arong the 66 government installations recommenced tor closure by the Secretary or Detense's Commission's Ba" Realignment and Closure report. The c ommi s s ion 's report was made public Thursday.
The commiss ion's report, it passed by the Secretary ot Defense, Congress and not vetoed by the President, will af fect 145 military installations.
Frank Carlucci, De tense Secretary, has until Jan. 16 to a: cept or reject the list.
Congress will have 45 days, beginning March 1, to accept or reject the list.
No changes can ce made in the recommendations.
If Congress does not pass a vote on the list during the 45 days the base realignment and closure bill will automatically become law.
It recommendations are accepted, base closings will start. in 1990. The Base Realignment and Closure Commission has not released the schedule for installa-tion closings or realignments.
It the recommendat ions go into ef f ec t five Air Force bases will close.
l Chanute AFB, Ill.: George AFB, Mather AFB and Norton AFB, Calif; and Pease.
Also, live Air Force bases will receive significant increases in personnel.
Cannon AFB, N.M.; March AFB, Calit; McChord AFB, Wash.; Mountain Home AFB, Idaho; and Sheppard AFB, Texas.
The atreratt assigned to the Air National Guard' T133rd Air Refueling Squadron is recommended to remain within the area.
The commission suggests that a transfer of property ownership should include a memorandum of agreement that i
will permit the continued presence of the ANC and provide for the unit's tuture requirements.
However, it local authorities do not elect to operate the raci-lity as an airport, the ANG unit must be relocated.
The commission's release states they are " aware that Pease is high on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of military bases with potential for civil use and believes that the ANG unit will likely be allowed to remain at Pease."
Why is Pease on list?
Pease has been recommended for closing by the Defense Secretary's Commission on Base Realignment and Closure. The primary reason, as stated in the com-
mission's release, was "due to quality and availability of f acilities, and because or excess capacity within the category."
The release mentions Pease's shortage of buildings for operational.
training and maintenance purposes. It adds the military family housing is
" inadequate and requires upgrading" and deficiencies in the quality of life area are represented by the shortage in recreational facilities.
The commission mentions Pease's FB-lll boctbers being trans ferred. leaving only the 509th Air Refueling Squacron.
They mention the "suliicient capacity" to absorb the remaining units at other locations with minimum cost.
The final points ment.ioned by the commission in their report r e fe r to Pease's military value.
They list Pease's value as being lower than other strategic-bomber ba es because ot the low pre-launch survivability from submarine-launched ballistic missiles. With Pease's location near the seacoast there would be "less warning time for aircraf t to launch during times of increased tension or international conflict."
A positive aspect to closing Pease is the lack ot negative impact on the environment are community, according to the repo'rC.
The commission recommends relocation of base units to other units with com-parable operations., This move vill have minimal etfect on the existing com-munities since operations are currently underway.
