Dear Mr. Utley:

~

SUBJECT:

'10 CFR 50.48 FIRE PROTECTION _. MODIFICATIONS - IMPLEMENTATION

, DEADLINES' _

7 Re: Brunswick Steam Electric Plarit, . Units 1-and 2 -

On April 24, 1986, Generic Letter 86-10, " Implementation of Fire Protection +

Requirements" was sent to all power. reactor licensees and applicants for power o  ; reactor licenses. Paragraph A'of that letter. states that each-licensee will' - '

be informed of the deadlines applicable to the corresponding plant.

g.,

We have reviewed the applicable background correspondence and regulations.-

. The' Appendix R deadlines applicable to Brunswick are as- follows:

A. For those ' changes that involve revisions of administrative controls, ,

manpower changes, and training, the 10 CFR 50.48 deadline is 30 days after the effective date of the rule. The rule became effective on February 19, 1981. . The deadline was thus March 21, 1981.

B. For those modifications which do not require prior NRC approval or ~ '

plant shutdown, the 10 CFR'50.48 deadline is nine months after the effective date of the rule. However, this deadline was extended by.

{our letter of May 4,1982, to nine months after June 30, 1982. The '

J extended deadline was thus March 30, 1983.

C. ' For those modifications which .do not require prior NRC approval but do require plant shutdown, the 10 CFR'50.48 deadline is start-up-after the earliest of the following events commencing 180 days or more 'after the effective date of the rule: (1) the first refueling.

outage, (2) a planned outage that lasts at least sixty days, or (3) an unplanned outage that lasts at least 120 days. For purposes of-establishing this deadline, the effective date of the rule was i

extended to June 30, 1982 by our May 4~, 1982, letter. However, you 1 have stated that none' of the modifications at Brunswick fit into this category. '

approval and plant shutdown,.the deadline is start-up after the 180 days after NRC earliest approvaliof the (1) following _ eventsoutage, the first refueling connencing(2) a planned outage lasting at least 60 days, or (3) an unplanned outage lasting at least 120 days. NRC approval'for the proposed alternative shutdown capability was granted by letter dated December 30, 1986 which also transmitted an exemption from certain requirements of Sections III.G and J of Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50. Barring unplanned outages the deadlines for. Brunswick are the Unit I refueling outage scheduled to e end in March 1989 and the Unit 2 refueling outage scheduled to end in

. May 1988.

E. For dedicated shutdown system installation the deadline .is thirty months after NRC approval. 'However, no modifications in this category have been identified.

F. For alternative shutdown modifications which require NRC prior approval and do not require plant _ shutdown, the deadline.is six months after NRC approval. The deadline (based on the December 30, 1986 approval letter)- is therefore June 30, 1987.

Other fire protection modifications evaluated in our November 11, 1977 Safety Evaluation Report for which, under the terms of 10 CFR 50.48(b), Appendix R does'not apply were completed by November 11, 1980 according to information

provided in your letter of September 18, 1981.

Please advise the undersigned within 30 days of receipt of this _ letter if your understanding of the fire protection-modification implementation deadlines is different from those noted above.
