UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTON. D. C. 20555 October 11, 1977 Mr. Lee V. Gossick Exewtive Director for Operations U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Corrmission Washington, DC 20555
SUBJECT:
SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR PLANT, INJUIRY REGARDIN:; RESOWTIOO OF ACRS GENERIC ITEMS
Dear Mr. Gossick:
The ACRS has been inforned by the NRC Staff that, during the Shearon Harris pre-hearing conference on June 19, 1977, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Member Dr. J. V. Leeds, Jr. reques.ted guidance from the ACRS regarding which items in the Conmittee list of Generic Items for Light-Water Reactors must be resolved prior to the issuance of a construction permit, and which must be resolved after construction permit issuance, rut prior to issuance of an operating license.
The Unresolved Generic Items listed by the ACRS have the following characteristics:
a)
They are items of concern to the ACRS for which neither the ultimate solution nor its ilrplementation for reactors in various stages of licensing, construction or operation have yet been determined.
b)
They are applicable not only to a given plant or license application but also to a class of plants or, in sone cases, to all light-water reactors.
In the ACRS review of a particular application, it may be decided that certain of the Generic Items should be resolved prior to issuance of a construction permit or, more likely, prior to operation of the plant.
In such cases, a reconmendation to this effect is made specifically in the body of the ACRS letter.
2331
Mr. Lee October 11, 1977 Those Generic Items referred to, and now listed explicitly, in the penultimate paragraph of the ACRS letter, are intended to be considered generically, outside the scope of the particular licensing action.
It is the intent that, when solutions are found, a determination will be made by the NOC Staff and the ACRS as to their inplementation on all plants for which they are applicable and necessary.
2332 Sincerely yours, M. Bender Chairman
