| | FNP-PAL-114 Cffshore Power Systems September 5, 1980 Mr. Harold Denton, Director Nuclear Reactor Regulation U.S. Nuclear Regulator/* Comission Washington, DC 20555 |
| | .Re: Docket No. STN 50-437; Resumption of Manufacturing License Review |
| | |
| | ==Dear Mr. Denton:== |
| | |
| | The purpose of this letter is to request that a schedule be established for completing review of the Offshore Power Systems' application for a Manufacturing License and that Staff resources be committed for that purpose. A similar request was made in my letter (of July 15, 1980, which transmitted the Offshore Power Systems' responses to NUREG-0660) to Mr. B. J. Youngblood. In that letter we requested a meeting with the Staff to discuss the adequacy of our response to NUREG-0660 and to establish a review schedule. In light of recent events, which are summarized below, we believe it timely to both renew and expand this earlier request. |
| | On August 1,1980, members of the NRR Staff met with the Commissioners to discuss policy and procedures for dealing with pending Construction Permit and Manufacturing License applications. At the conclusion of the meeting the Commissioners voted to publish for comment the proposals spelled out in SECY-80-348, dated July 28, 1980. It was generally agreed among the meeting participants that a minimum of three to four months will pass before a Comission policy is made. During the course of the meeting there was substantial discussion of this addi-tional delay. |
| | Commissioner Hendrie expressed repeated concern over the lengthy period required to finalize Commission policy and searched for some way to make progress during this time. In response to Dr. Hendrie's concern, it was suggested that applicants might begin now to address TMI matters (as they are presently formulated) and that the Staff could review such material, reserving fihaT judgment until such time as Commission policy is finalized. Offshore Power Systems believes this proposal |
| | ""noico 3. g W9 A |
| | |
| | Mr. Harold Denton Page Two September 5, 1980 to be reasonable and constructive, and we urge you to commit resources necessary for its implementation. |
| | As previously noted, the Offshore Power Systems' responses to NUREG-0660 were submitted on July 15, 1980. These responses were based on a prior meeting with the regulatory staff wherein agreement was reached as to both the applica-bility of NUREG-0660 items to the Manufacturing License application and the scope of information required for each item. The sole item not addressed in the required detail is the degraded core rulemaking, for which any response must await publication of the interim rule. It is expected that additional information guidelines will be published in the forthcoming Federal Register notice. These guide-lines, which are contained in SECY-80-348, address four principal areas. Two of the areas (Siting and Emergency Preparedness) are not applicable to the Offshore Power Systems Manufacturing License application. Much of the additional information required in the area of degraded core rulemaking has already been provided on the record of the Manufacturing License application; for example, the core ladle evaluation and conceptual studies of a filtered containment vent. With respect to hydrogen control, we are following closely the Sequoyah operating license proceeding; we expect that many questions concerning ice condenser containments will be answered in the near future. Regarding the last item of additional guidance, reliability engineering, I our response to NUREG-0660, Item II.C.4, contains a basic { |
| | description of the systems reliability analysis program. ; |
| | Offshore Power Systems will expand upon this pre-Manufacturing License program description, as necessary, at the same time as our present topical report is revised to respond to the ) |
| | interim degraded core rule. In summary, Offshore Power l |
| | Systems has already' filed virtually all of the post-TMI information required at the present time. |
| | In light of the foregoing observations, it is appropriate that the NRC Staff initiate review of our responses to NUREG-0660 at the earliest opportunity. This crsurse of action would transform a three or four month hiatis into a period of productive effort and would assure that, at the time of the Commission's final policy decision, both the Staff and Offshore Power Systems would be as fully prepared as possible to enter the final phase of public hearings and thereby j |
| | |
| | Mr. Harold Denton Page Three September 5, 1980 expedite the decision on our long-standing application. |
| | In addition, a decision to comi'. even modest Staff resources to the Manufacturing License application review would be a positive showing of continued Comission support for standardization. |
| | As always, Offshore Power Systems stands ready to support Staff review in any way the Staff may desire. |

FNP-PAL-114 Cffshore Power Systems September 5, 1980 Mr. Harold Denton, Director Nuclear Reactor Regulation U.S. Nuclear Regulator/* Comission Washington, DC 20555
.Re: Docket No. STN 50-437; Resumption of Manufacturing License Review
Dear Mr. Denton:
The purpose of this letter is to request that a schedule be established for completing review of the Offshore Power Systems' application for a Manufacturing License and that Staff resources be committed for that purpose. A similar request was made in my letter (of July 15, 1980, which transmitted the Offshore Power Systems' responses to NUREG-0660) to Mr. B. J. Youngblood. In that letter we requested a meeting with the Staff to discuss the adequacy of our response to NUREG-0660 and to establish a review schedule. In light of recent events, which are summarized below, we believe it timely to both renew and expand this earlier request.
On August 1,1980, members of the NRR Staff met with the Commissioners to discuss policy and procedures for dealing with pending Construction Permit and Manufacturing License applications. At the conclusion of the meeting the Commissioners voted to publish for comment the proposals spelled out in SECY-80-348, dated July 28, 1980. It was generally agreed among the meeting participants that a minimum of three to four months will pass before a Comission policy is made. During the course of the meeting there was substantial discussion of this addi-tional delay.
Commissioner Hendrie expressed repeated concern over the lengthy period required to finalize Commission policy and searched for some way to make progress during this time. In response to Dr. Hendrie's concern, it was suggested that applicants might begin now to address TMI matters (as they are presently formulated) and that the Staff could review such material, reserving fihaT judgment until such time as Commission policy is finalized. Offshore Power Systems believes this proposal
""noico 3. g W9 A
Mr. Harold Denton Page Two September 5, 1980 to be reasonable and constructive, and we urge you to commit resources necessary for its implementation.
As previously noted, the Offshore Power Systems' responses to NUREG-0660 were submitted on July 15, 1980. These responses were based on a prior meeting with the regulatory staff wherein agreement was reached as to both the applica-bility of NUREG-0660 items to the Manufacturing License application and the scope of information required for each item. The sole item not addressed in the required detail is the degraded core rulemaking, for which any response must await publication of the interim rule. It is expected that additional information guidelines will be published in the forthcoming Federal Register notice. These guide-lines, which are contained in SECY-80-348, address four principal areas. Two of the areas (Siting and Emergency Preparedness) are not applicable to the Offshore Power Systems Manufacturing License application. Much of the additional information required in the area of degraded core rulemaking has already been provided on the record of the Manufacturing License application; for example, the core ladle evaluation and conceptual studies of a filtered containment vent. With respect to hydrogen control, we are following closely the Sequoyah operating license proceeding; we expect that many questions concerning ice condenser containments will be answered in the near future. Regarding the last item of additional guidance, reliability engineering, I our response to NUREG-0660, Item II.C.4, contains a basic {
description of the systems reliability analysis program. ;
Offshore Power Systems will expand upon this pre-Manufacturing License program description, as necessary, at the same time as our present topical report is revised to respond to the )
interim degraded core rule. In summary, Offshore Power l
Systems has already' filed virtually all of the post-TMI information required at the present time.
In light of the foregoing observations, it is appropriate that the NRC Staff initiate review of our responses to NUREG-0660 at the earliest opportunity. This crsurse of action would transform a three or four month hiatis into a period of productive effort and would assure that, at the time of the Commission's final policy decision, both the Staff and Offshore Power Systems would be as fully prepared as possible to enter the final phase of public hearings and thereby j
Mr. Harold Denton Page Three September 5, 1980 expedite the decision on our long-standing application.
In addition, a decision to comi'. even modest Staff resources to the Manufacturing License application review would be a positive showing of continued Comission support for standardization.
As always, Offshore Power Systems stands ready to support Staff review in any way the Staff may desire.
