ALL LICENSEES OF OPERATING POWER REACTORS

Gentlemen:

SUBJECT: POST-TMI REQUIREMENTS (Generic Letter 82-10)

On October 30, 1980, the NRC staff sent to you NUREG-0737 which incorporated into one document the TMI-related items that were approved by the Commission for implementation at operating reactors. Items scheduled for implementation on or before March 1, 1982 have been addressed by previous correspondence. This letter requests your commitments to implement on a timely basis the remainder of the NUREG-0737 items.

The Enclosure identifies those items for which your schedule needs to be established or, if a schedule has previously been submitted, a reconfirmation of such dates. Two items, Equipment Qualification and RCS Vents, are currently required by Order or by the Regulations. For these items, licensees need not reply herein. All items from NUREG-0737 are listed, although as noted in the Table no reply is necessary at this time on selected items.

Your attention is directed especially to two items, I.A.1.3.1 "Limit Overtime" and II.K.3.18 "ADS Actuation" where separate NRC actions have revised the scope and/or schedule for the implementation of these items. These are appropriately annotated in the Enclosed Table.

Accordingly, pursuant to SS 50.54(f) of the NRC Regulations, licensees of operating power reactors are requested to furnish the following information within 30 days of the date of this letter:

(1) For applicable items in the Enclosure that have been completed, confirm their completion and furnish the date on which they were completed.

(2) For applicable items in the Enclosure that have not been completed, propose a specific schedule for implementation which you commit to meet. In those cases where a licensee's schedule is beyond the schedules shown in NUREG-0737, provide:

(a) justification for proposed schedule,

(b) demonstration of need for proposed schedule, and

(c) description of compensatory measures being taken in the interim.This request for information was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under clearance number, 3150-0065 which expires May 31, 1983. Comments on burden and duplication may be directed to the Office of Management and Budget, Reports Management Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20503.

Sincerely,

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