Docket No. 50-460 Mr. D. W. Hazur, Managing Director Washington Public Power Supply System 3000 George Washington Way P.O. Box 968 Richland, Washington 99352-0968

SUBJECT:

EMERGENCY RESPONSE CAPABILITY - CONFORMANCE TO REGULATORY GUIDE 1.97, REVISION 3 FOR WASHINGTON PUBLIC POWER SUPPLY-SYSTEM NUCLEAR PROJECT N0. 1 (WNP-1)

We have reviewed your responses of April 15, 1983 and February 6, 1986 to Generic Letter 82-33 concerning how WNP-1 meets the guidelines of Regulatory Guide R. G. 1.97 as applied to emergency response facilities. We have determined that the instrumentation provided for WNP-1 for meeting the recommendations of R. G. 1.97, Revisicn 3, for each post-accident monitoring variable are acceptable except for pressurizer heater status, emergency ventilation damper position, condenser air removal system exhaust and gland steam exhaust. R.G. 1.97 recommends Category 2 instrumentation to monitor the status of these systems. Therefore, we request your commitment within 60 days of the date of this letter to install Category 2 instrumentation to monitor the status of pressurizer heater status, emergency ventilation damper position, condenser air removal system exhaust and gland steam exhaust. Since WNP-1 is currently in deferred status, we request a commitment to provide a schedule and any subsequent changes in the schedule for installing such instrumentation when construction is restarted.

Our associated Safety Evaluation Report is enclosed.

Sincerely, original signed by Lester S. Rubenstein, Acting Director Standardization and Non-Power 8806170128 880601- Reactor Project Directorate PDR ADOCK 05000460 Division of Reactor Projects III, P PDR 'l IV, Y and Special Projects  !
