Gentlemen:

SUBJECT: REVISED SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION OF TMI ACTION PLAN ITEM II.D.1, RELIEF AND SAFETY VALVE TESTING (GENERIC LETTER NO. 81-

36)

On October 31, 1980 the NRC staff transmitted a Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements (NUREG-0737). Item II.D.1 of that document "Relief and Safety Valve Test Requirements" set forth implementation schedules of 7/1/81 for completion of the RV & SV test program and 10/1/81 for the submittal of plant specific reports.

We have completed our review of a request for schedule relief for completing that portion of the item related to the PWR (EPRI) testing program. The Commission has approved a revised schedule in response to this request. The revision, as indicated in the enclosed page changes to NUREG-0737, extends completion of the PWR test program until April 1, 1982 and the PWR plant specific reports until July 1, 1982.

Sincerely,

Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Division of Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
