NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–315; License No. DPR–58;
NRC–2009–0111]
Indiana Michigan Power Company;
Receipt of Request for Action Under 10
CFR 2.206
Notice is hereby given that by petition
dated December 16, 2008, Mr. David
Lochbaum (petitioner) has requested
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) take action with
regard to the licensee for the Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1. The
petitioner requests that the NRC issue a
demand for information requiring the
licensee to docket information regarding
the following four issues at least 30 days
before restarting the reactor from the
current outage:
(1) The vibration levels experienced
in the control room, turbine building,
and other structures during the
September 20, 2008, event;
(2) The vibration levels assumed in
these locations during the safeshutdown earthquake (SSE);
(3) In locations where the vibration
levels during the September 20, 2008,
event exceeded the vibration levels
assumed for an SSE, the extent to which
piping and pipe supports were replaced
or repaired because of potential stress
damage and the bases for not replacing
other structures, systems, and
components exposed to greater than SSE
loading; and
(4) In locations where the vibration
levels during the September 20, 2008,
event did not exceed the vibration levels
assumed for an SSE, the extent of the
measures taken to protect against
spurious equipment operation and the
bases for concluding that the as-left
configuration will not pose a public
health hazard in event of an SSE.
As the basis for this request, the
petitioner states that the event caused
significant vibration levels that caused
spurious operation of standby
equipment and may have contributed to
a breach that seriously impaired the fire
protection system. The petitioner
further states that the information being
sought in the petition is needed to apply
the proper lessons from the event to the
future operation of the Donald C. Cook
Nuclear Plant, Unit 1. The petitioner
states that without this information, the
NRC cannot be assured of, and the
public is therefore not adequately
protected from, significant adverse
safety implications of an SSE causing
spurious actuation of equipment.
The NRC is treating the request
pursuant to Title 10, Section 2.206,
‘‘Requests for Action under This
Subpart,’’ of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR 2.206). The request
has been referred to the Director of the
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. As
provided by 10 CFR 2.206, the NRC will
take appropriate action on this petition
within a reasonable time. A copy of the
petition is available for inspection at the
Commission’s Public Document Room
