20555 Attention: Mr. L. S. Rubenstein Gentlemen:

Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant - Units 1 and 2 10CFR50, Appendix R Exemption Requests Alabama Power Company ( APCo) submitted exemption requests by letter dated October 18, 1985 to the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix R, based upon an NRC audit. This submittal supplemented letters dated March 13, 1985, May 31, 1985, June 26, 1985 and July 19, 1985.

In these exemption requests, APCo provided justifications for exemptions to the NRC's interpretation of 10CFR50, Appendix R.

These justifications document that the existing and proposed fire protection features at Farley Nuclear Plant accomplish the underlying purpose of the rule.

Implementing additional modifications to provide additional suppression systems, detection systems and fire barriers to comply with Appendix R for all areas of the plant would require the expenditure of engineering and construction resources as well as the associated capital costs which would represent an unwarranted burden on APCo's resources. Costs that would be incurred are as follows:

- Engineering, procurement and installation of additional piping, sprinkler heads, and supporting structures.

Engineering, procurement and installation of additional fire barriers, supports, support protection and ongoing maintenance.

Significant rerouting of power cabling and associated conduits, ducts and supports.

Increased surveillance on new or extended fire suppression and fire detection systems.
