Gentlemen:

SUBJECT: NRC REVIEW 0F V0GTLE READINESS REVIEW MODULE 98, CHEMISTRY

The NRC has completed a detailed review, inspection, and verification of the

subject module which you submitted to the NRC. Periodic inspections were

conducted at the Vogtle site, and the resultant findings were discussed with

members of your staff at the conclusion of these inspections. Technical reviews

were also conducted in NRC Bethesda offices, and the findings from these reviews

have also been discussed with your staff.

Areas contained in the module which were reviewed, examined, and verified are

identified in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection and

verification consisted of selected examinations of procedures and representative

records, discussions with personnel, observations of activities in progress, and

review of your licensing commitments.

I

Based on the NRC review, Module 9B provides the framework for an acceptable water

chemistry program. Inasmuch as the major elements of such a program (i.e.,

staffing, training, development of procedures, and construction of laboratory

facilities) had not been completed, our assessment of the Vogtle chemistry

program will be continued during future inspections.

During the review of this module, the staff's main concern was that the

implementation of the programs described in this module had progressed too

slowly. However, a recent inspection indicated that significant progress has

been made toward completion of the water chemistry program. We believe that

continued management attention is warranted to ensure completion of program

implementation by the projected fuel load date.

We will again be inspecting your programs for training and qualification of

personnel prior to licensing as part of the Near Term Operating License

Inspection Program and, during that inspection, we will assess the adequacy of

implementation of corrective actions associated with this review. It is expected

that, at that time, all open items and unresolved issues associated with training

should be corrected.

Based upon your responsiveness and your ongoing efforts to correct the

deficiencies noted during this review, it appears that Module 9B will be

acceptable once corrective actions have been satisfactorily implemented and

remaining concerns have been adequately resolved.
