NRC Response To PSC Submittals PSC requested the staff discuss the status of a number of PSC submittals and how these licensing actions were being handled.

Fire Protection - The staff has established a date of July 18, 1986 for completion of the safety evaluation (SE) on the FSV safe shutdown systems.

However, this SE would still contain an open item pending PSC's submittal and NRC's review of the firewater cooldown method. At that time, all fire protection SEs would be sent to PSC for review and coment.

When PSC's comments were received, the staff would establish if the results were sufficiently complete to issue PSC's requested exemptions.

Technical Specification Upcrade Program (TSUP) - The staff requested that PSC provide an updatet estimate of the fourth FSV refueling. PSC -

stated this would be about June 1988. The staff stated that the TSUP appeared to be about half complete, based on the number of action items still unresolved. However, an examination of the TSUP mark-up would t indicate much greater progress. A copy of the staff's comments on the final draft of TSUP was provided to PSC. The staff stated that July 1986 looked like a favorable time to schedule a meeting on TSUP. The staff also noted that some portions of TSUP could be completed on separate schedules if this was mutually agreeable to PSC and the NRC.

• However, every effort should be made to complete TSUP by mid-1987.

Other Licensing Actions The staff informed PSC of the status of a number of other licensing actions.

The status of these actions is sunmarized in Enclosure 3. The staff also stated it would inform PSC of schedules for new licensing actions as these were established.

Further Actions Concerning the Chernobyl Accident The staff advised PSC that information from the Chernobyl accident over the summer would need to be reviewed by PSC and the NRC prior to FSV's restart in the fall of 1986. The staff noted that a report on this accident by the staff would be available shortly. PSC and the NRC agreed to meet in August 1986 to further discuss this issue.
