Sunshine Act Meeting, 18873-18874 [2012-7539]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 60 / Wednesday, March 28, 2012 / Notices NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. The recommendations in this guide describe actions that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable when the number of available electric power sources are less than the number of sources required by the limiting conditions for operation (LCOs) for a facility. This regulatory guide applies to single- and multipleunit plants and is consistent with the improved standard technical specifications (iSTS) (NUREG–1430 through NUREG–1434). The LCOrequired actions and specified completion times referred to in this guide are based on the completion times presented in Regulatory Guide 1.93, Revision 0, ‘‘Availability of Electric Power Sources,’’ issued December 1974, which have been incorporated into the required actions in the iSTS. The recommendations described in this guide are an approach that the NRC staff finds acceptable for satisfying some of the requirements of General design criterion (GDC) 17, ‘‘Electric Power Systems,’’ of Appendix A, ‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ to 10 CFR part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities.’’ II. Further Information Revision 1 of RG 1.93 was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–1244. DG–1244, was published in the Federal Register on September 24, 2010 (75 FR 5844) for a 60 day public comment period. The public comment period closed on November 26, 2010. The NRC staff’s responses to the public comments on DG–1244 are available under ADAMS Accession Number ML090550693. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 19th day of March, 2012.

NPF–4 and NPF– 7] tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Virginia Electric and Power Company; Receipt of Request for Action Notice is hereby given that by petition dated October 20, 2011, (U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC’s or the Commission’s) Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML11293A116); as supplemented by a letter dated November 2, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11308A027); and an email dated December 15, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12060A197); Paul Gunter, Kevin Kamps, Thomas Saporito, Paxus Calta, Alex Jack, Scott Price, John Cruickshank, Eleanor Amidon, Erika Kretzmer, Lovell King II, David Levy, Hilary Boyd, G. Paul Blundell, Erica Gray, Edmund Frost, and Richard Ball (the petitioners), request that the NRC take action with regard to Virginia Electric and Power Company’s (the licensee’s) North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (North Anna 1 and 2). The petitioners request VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:29 Mar 27, 2012 Jkt 226001 that the NRC suspend the operating licenses for North Anna 1 and 2, until the completion of a set of activities described in the petition. As the basis for this request, the petitioners state several concerns which are summarized as follows: (1) Prior to the approval of restart for North Anna 1 and 2, after the earthquake of August 23, 2011, the licensee should be required to obtain a license amendment from the NRC that reanalyzes and reevaluates the plant’s design basis for earthquakes and for associated retrofits. (2) Prior to the approval of restart for North Anna 1 and 2, after the earthquake of August 23, 2011, the licensee should be required to ensure that North Anna 1 and 2 are subjected to thorough inspections of the same level and rigor. (3) The licensee should be required to reanalyze and requalify the adequacy and condition of the Lake Anna dam after the earthquake of August 23, 2011. (4) The licensee should be required to reanalyze and reevaluate the North Anna Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) due to damage caused by the earthquake of August 23, 2011, and ensure that no threat is posed to public health and safety by its operation. (5) The licensee should ensure the reliability and accuracy of the seismic instrumentation at North Anna 1 and 2. (6) The NRC staff made hasty decisions about the restart of North Anna 1 and 2, and gave priority to economic considerations. The long-term action plan was not even complete before the NRC gave authorization to restart. (7) Regulatory commitments are an inadequate regulatory tool for ensuring that the critical long-term tasks identified in the NRC staff’s confirmatory action letter (CAL) dated November 11, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11311A201), are completed. (8) The NRC should provide greater access to certain documents concerning North Anna 1 and 2, which are stored at the University of Virginia. (9) The licensee needs to address the possibility of both boildown and rapid draindown events at the North Anna 1 and 2, spent fuel pool. (10) The long-term storage of spent fuel in the spent fuel pool at North Anna 1 and 2, and at the North Anna ISFSI poses challenges to the public health and safety. (11) ‘‘Hardened on-site storage’’ strategies for spent fuel should be used at North Anna 1 and 2. (12) Concerns exist about age-related degradation at North Anna 1 and 2. PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (13) Concerns exist about the response of North Anna 1 and 2, to a prolonged station blackout. (14) The current emergency evacuation plans for North Anna 1 and 2, need to be revised to reflect the possible need to evacuate a larger area than that identified in the current emergency planning zone. (15) Concerns exist about damage to the structural integrity of the spent fuel pool structure at North Anna 1 and 2, as represented on pages 41 and 42 of the NRC staff’s technical evaluation for the restart of North Anna 1 and 2, dated November 11, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11308B406). (16) There are concerns about lack of compliance at North Anna 1 and 2, with a public law requiring storage of potassium iodide in areas surrounding a nuclear reactor. The request is being treated pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 2.206, ‘‘Requests for action under this subpart,’’ of the Commission’s regulations. The request has been referred to the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR). As provided by 10 CFR 2.206, appropriate action will be taken on this petition within a reasonable time. The petitioners met with the NRR petition review board on December 12, 2011 (corrected transcript at ADAMS Accession No. ML12033A025), and February 2, 2012 (corrected transcript at ADAMS Accession No. ML12047A240), to discuss the petition. The results of these discussions were considered in the board’s final determination to partially accept the petition for review, as communicated to the petitioners by letter from Eric J. Leeds, Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, dated March 16, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12060A090), and in establishing the review schedule. A copy of the petition is available for inspection at the Commission’s Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, Public File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland 20852. Publicly available documents created or received at the NRC are available online through ADAMS in the NRC Library at https:// www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
