UNITED STATES

TO ALL HOLDERS OF CONSTRUCTION PERMITS
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: CHANGE IN IMPLEMENTING SCHEDULE FOR SUBMISSION AND EVALUATION OF
UPGRADED EMERGENCY PLANS (Generic Letter No. 81-25)
On October 31, 1980, you were provided a clarification letter (NUREG-0737)
regarding approved TMI Action Plan items. The implementation schedule for
item III.A.2 Emergency Preparedness in Enclosure 2, NUREG-0737, implies that
upgraded emergency plans to meet the criteria of NUREG-0654, Revision 1,
"Criteria for Preparedness and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response
Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants" must be submitted
prior to fuel load authorization. Full compliance with all elements of NUREG
0654 is unnecessary for this stage of startup operations.
Enclosed is a copy of page 2-11 of Enclosure 2, NUREG-0737, changing the
implementing schedule to require upgraded emergency plans from prior to
"fuel load" to prior to "full-power" authorization. The requirements
necessary for a "full load" authorization will be determined on a
case-by-case basis.
Sincerely,
Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director
Division of Licensing
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
