SUBJECT:

QUESTIONNAIRE ON LICENSEE'S PERCEPTION OF REGIONAL REVIEW OF LICENSING ACTIONS The NRC Regions have been conducting technical review for the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation since mid-1982. NUREG-1075, "Decentralization of Operating Reactor Licensing Reviews", was published in July 1984 to better define the decision process for selecting items to be reviewed by the Regions.

This NUREG states that a formal audit of the program will be conducted in two years.

As part of our effort to audit our program, we have selected five licensees who would be requested, on a voluntary basis, to respond to a questionnaire.

These licensees, of which Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2 and 3 is one, have been selected on the basis that a large number of their licensing actions have been reviewed by the Regions. Enclosure 1 is the questionnaire.

We request your response as soon as it is possible but no later than 20 days from the date of this letter. Enclosure 2 is a list of all the licensing actions that have been performed by Region 2.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your project manager, Ms. Helen Nicolaras.

Sincerely, John F. Stolz, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #4 Division of Licensing

Suite 2900 Atlanta, Georaia 30303 Proposed Survey for Licensees Regarding Regional Review of Licensing Actions NRR is in the process of evaluating our program to have selected review activities carried out by personnel from within the Regional Offices. To that extent, we would appreciate your response to the below questionnaire.

Has the overall safe operation of your facility been enhanced by having selected licensing action technical reviews conducted in the Region? If so, how?

Have you been generally satisfied with the time response of licensing actions when Regional reviewers are involved?

Did improved communications between your staff and the NRC result from the Regional review process?

Has the Regional review process resulted in fewer technical disagree ments between your staff and the NRC over licensing actions?

Have you been generally satisfied with the types of licensing activities being reviewed in the Regions?

Can you suggest licensing actions that are not being reviewed in the Regions, that in your opinion, should be?

Can you identify any licensing actions that were reviewed in the Regions that, in your opinion, should have been reviewed by Headquarters?

Has the Regional review process brought pressures to bear that would not ordinarily be experienced from headquarters reviews; e.g., enforce ment concepts, etc.?

Would you say that the overall quality of the licensing review process has improved, stayed the same, or degenerated as a result of Regional involvement?
