Docket Nos. 50-321 HL-4846 50-366 TAC Nos. M69451 M69452 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Docket Control Desk Washington, D.C. 20555 Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Results of Unresolved Safety Issue A-46 Review Gentlemen:
In accordance with Georgia Power Company's (GPC' September 16,1992, response to Supplement No. I to Generic Letter (GL) 87-02 (Reference 1), GPC submits the enclosed two reports summarizing the results of the USI A-46 review for Plant Hatch Unit 1 and Unit 2. The programs for Unit I and Unit 2 successfully verify the seismic adequacy of the electrical and mechanical equipment covered by the Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG) Generic Implementation Procedure (GIP), Revision 2 (Reference 2).
Thei efore, the completion of this program constitutes Plant Hatch's resolution of USI A-46.
i The modifications associated with outliers identified during the evaluations of both units are partially complete with the remainder scheduled for completion in 1995. Work not requiring a design change will be completed using site maintenance work orders. Detailed information relative to the modifications is included in Appendix L of each unit's report.
A complete list of references used in the evaluations is contained in the Reference section of each unit's report.
In the NRC's September 20,1992,120-day response to Supplement No. I to GL 87-02, (Reference 3), the Staffinterpreted GPC's response as a commitment to the entire SQUG GIP, Revision 2, including both the SQUG commitments and the implementation guidance. In agreement with the Stafi's interpretation, the Plant Hatch Unit I and Unit 2 evaluations were performed per Reference 2, as clarified and interpreted by NRC Supplemental Safety Analysis Report No. 2 (Reference 4), except as noted below.

r Georgia Powerih U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 May 30, 1995 An exception to the SQUG GIP criteria was taken in that a third-party review of the Unit 2 USI A-46 evaluation was not performed. Thejustification for omission of the third-pany review is documented in detail in Sec: ion 4.9 of the enclosed Unit 2 repon. In summary, the review was omitted for the following reasons:
- 1. An extensive third-pany review was performed on the Unit 1 USI A-46 program. The third party review verified the expertise of the personnel performing the Unit 1 evaluations.
- 2. The same personnel who performed the Unit I evaluations performed the Unit 2 evaluations.
- 3. The Unit 2 safe shutdown equipment list (SSEL), with few exceptions, is identical to the Unit 1 SSEL equipment.
- 4. The Hatch Unit I and Unit 2 reactor buildings are essentially identical and have the same soil conditions. The control building, diesel generator building, and intake stmeture are shared by both Units 1 and 2.
Should you have any questions in this regard, please contact this oflice.
Sincerely, h / \
