Subject:

Hatch Denial of NCV - Additional information Based on additional verbal information received today, Hatch contends that the local manual operator action, to place the battery chargers in service after a fire and loss of offsite power, is allowed by NRC regulations and does not need an exemption.

They base this on words in III.G.1, which states 'One train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions from either the control room or emergency control station(s) is free of fire damage." Hatch claims that the local manual actions are considered to be 'emergency control stations' as permitted by III.G.1.

Does the NRC have anything in writing stating that 'emergency control stations' are not applicable to III.G.2 fire areas?
