Dear Mr. Denton:

The referenced letter invited the NRC to attend a SNUPPS review meeting on FSAR Chapter 8. The meeting was held in Gaithersburg, Maryland on December 9 and 10 and was attended by members of the NRC staff and its consultants, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. The purpose of this letter.

is to coment on that meeting and to suggest measures that can be taken to further expedite and facilitate the review of the SNUPPS FSAR and the Callaway and Wolf Creek applications.

4 During the past seven years, the SNUPPS Utilities have held numerous de-l sign review meetings with the architect-erigineer, NSSS vendor, and other contractors. At this stage of the SNUPPS project, the utilities have had considerable input to, and have a good understanding of, the SNUPPS design.

The December 9,10 meeting was of limited value to the Utility personnel on the review panel. The meeting format, wherein utility representatives question and discuss the design bases with the A/E or NSSS vendor is appro-priate for the construction permit stage of a licensing review when uti-

, lity personnel are not as familiar with the design being proposed by the l contractors .

l Tne December 9,10 meeting was of value because of the participation of the two NRC Staff reviewers. They asked a number of questions, indicated Staff positions, and pointed out areas where additional infomation was required in the FSAR in order for them to be able to reach the required i

conclusions. SNUPPS intends to provide a transcript of the meeting, supple-mental infomation for the FSAR, and an evaluation of Chapter 8 prepared by the review panel . It is expected that the information obtained by the NRC reviewers during the meeting along with the materials that will be submitted later, will facilitate the NRC review of Chapter 8. 68l 3

SLNRC 80-55 Page Two Based on the above evaluation of the December 9,10 meeting, consideration should be given to additional review meetings, but with some format change.

It is felt that meetings can expedite the review process by reducing the number of written questions normally involved in an NRC safety review and by exchanging information in a face-to-face manner with the NRC. During these subsequent meetings Utility representatives would assume a stronger role in describing the design and questions would be posed by a panel of NRC re-viewers . Meetings in this format were held during the CP stage review of the Palo Verde 4 & 5 application in late 1978 and proved to be useful in completing that review in an expedited manner.

It would be useful to the SNUPPS Utilities to know the NRC's evaluation of the December 9,10 meeting. More technical review meetings should be con-ducted and the above suggestion for a format change should be considered.

It is expected that the NRC's schedule for the review of the SNUPPS applica-tions will be issued soon and that the schedule will include provisions for a series of technical meetings with the NRC staff.

Very truly yours, D
