SUBJECT:
COMMENTS ON
- GUIDANCE REVIEW DOCUMENT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATION REQUEST (CAR)," RUREG-99-05, DRAFT REV. O, MARCH 1999
Dear Dr. Gibbs:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the draft document that is intended for use by your staff in the review of the BNFL Inc. construction authorization request (CAR). As you have indicated, this guidance was developed utilizing the general format of NRC's draft Standard Review Plan (SRP) for licensing of facilities under 10 CFR Part 70, where you deemed this was appropriate for the TWRS-P facility. The review that the staff conducted showed a close correspondence between the RU's draft review guidance document and the June 1998 draf t of the SRP, even though the two guidance documents are intended for different purposes; viz; review of a construction authorization request versus review of a license application. As you are aware, a draft TWRS-P version of the SRP has just recently been released by the NRC as NUREG-1702, dated March 1999. This most recent NRC draft document reflects some recent thinking relative to the application of 10 CFR Part 70 to the TWRS-P project, and thus differs somewhat from the June 1998 draft.
The comments that the NRC staff has developed on your preliminary draft guidance review document are provided in the enclosure. In general, our quick review indicates that the RU's guidance appears to be well written, in that while it is quite comprehensive, it is also relatively clear and concise. In certain areas the guidance appears to be even more direct, explicit, and detailed than the current draft NRC SRP. We very much appreciated the opportunity to review j the preliminary draft guidance document and look forward to seeing the final draft, which is j expected to address the review of the Preliminary Safety Analysis. I If there are any questions regarding these comments, please contact Michael Tokar at (301) 415-7251, or me at (301) 415-7192. f]
