November 12, 1999 Dr. William D. Travers Dear Dr. Travers: SUBJECT: DRAFT REGULATORY GUIDE DG-1093, "GUIDANCE AND EXAMPLES FOR IDENTIFYING 10 CFR 50.2 DESIGN BASES" During the 466th and 467th meetings of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, September 30-October 2 and November 4-6, 1999, we met with representatives of the NRC staff and the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) to discuss the status of resolution of issues associated with DG-1093 regarding design bases information. We also discussed the revised Appendix B of NEI 97-04, "Design Bases Program Guidelines," which the staff proposes to endorse in DG-1093 as an acceptable method to meet NRC requirements. We had the benefit of the documents referenced. Although the staff has not yet updated DG-1093 to reflect agreements reached during meetings with NEI and other industry representatives, we believe that the technical issues have been resolved satisfactorily. We recommend that DG-1093 be issued for public comment. We plan to review the proposed final version of DG-1093 following the reconciliation of public comments. We commend the staff and NEI for their efforts on this difficult task. Sincerely, /s/ Dana A. Powers References:
