Gentlemen:

In-an eff0rt to respond to the.requirements* of Reference (a):,

Baltimore Gas and Electri'c, Northeast Uti'liti'es, Consumers* Power and the Omaha Publtc Power Di'strict submitted in References (.b} and Cc) the Combustion Engineering Owners ,. Group Final Report. Reference (d) required the Combusti'on Engineering Owners-'* Group to provide additi0nal information concerning this* report within 90 days of receipt of Reference (d) *. This request for additional information was received on February* 27, 1981.

Pursuant to this* request, we prepared preliminary* responses, to those quest*i'ons*. listed in Reference* (dr, whiCh' :i:nvobred a clar.ifi'cation or a detailed explanation of* the* methods- and results- presented in References-rn~r and (c r. 0ri Apri'l 15-, 1981, the Combusti'on Engineering Users Group and their techni*cal consultants* di'scussed thes*e* preliminary responses with:

  • meml:i'ers* of the NRC Staff. At this meeting, the CE Owner.s*'* Group stated that due* to the* time constraints* inv0lved in resp0nding to the* 108 questions*

and requests listed in Reference Cd r' our submittal could be de;]_ayed unti'l August 1, 1981. Also at that time, we- indicated our int.ent to* submit this*

response* as, early* as* possible**.

- .e Mr. D. G*. Eisenhut Page 2 May 26, 1981 At this time, our schedule for submittal remains as previously stated, provided that additional questioning concerning the final report is* held to a minimum.

This schedule is also dependent upon a resolution of the outstanding i's sue* of load combinati'on.. As di'scussed with your staff at the* Apri'l 15, 19_81, *meeting, load combinations, could si'gni'f'tcantly extend the schedule for completion of this* effort due* to the: lack ofa seismic analysis for fuel (and internals* for some* plantsT. Our presentation" of April 15' 1981, included a discussion of our position, support"ed by a recently issued

. Sandia Laboratories *report, that the probability of simultaneous* occurrence of an asymmetric LOCA loading event and a seismi'c event is on the order of lo-1 2 per year; therefore*, the probability* of the occurrence of these*

events :i:s* too small to constder the consequences*. The position presented by* the* CE Owners* Group at the 4/15/81 meeting has* not been formally*

addressed by* the staff!.. It i's in our mutual best i'nterest to accelerate.

ef'!forts* to resolve* thi's* issue~ We: are* prepared to discus*s, this, tssue* wi'th.

you* a,t your earliest convenience*..
