SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that by petition dated
March 5, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML14071A006), as supplemented by
email dated May 21, 2014 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML14142A101), and the
petitioner’s addresses to the Petition
Review Board dated April 8 and
September 3, 2014 (ADAMS Accession
Nos. ML14143A212 and ML14259A135,
respectively), the petitioner, has asked
the NRC to take enforcement action
against Entergy Nuclear Operations,
Inc., due to recent plant events and
equipment failures at PNP. The
petitioner was particularly concerned
with primary coolant pump (PCP)
impeller pieces breaking off and lodging
in the reactor vessel.
The petitioner requests the following
actions:
• Require PNP to open every PCP for
inspection and clear up all flaws.
• Require PNP to replace the PCPs
with a design for their intended duty.
• An Office of Inspector General
(OIG) inspection on why there are
different analysis criteria for similar
PCP events between the NRC regions.
• A ten million dollar fine for these
events.
• Intensify NRC monitoring of PNP,
and return them to yellow or red status.
As the basis for the request, the
petitioner stated, in part, the following:
• The petitioner cited other recent
plant events and equipment failures,
such as leakage from the safety injection
refueling water tank, and flaws in the
control rod drive mechanisms.
• The petitioner asserted the licensee
and the NRC staff used non-conservative
PO 00000
Frm 00072
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
engineering judgment during the
evaluation of the lodged PCP impeller
piece and during the operability
evaluation of the existing PCP impellers.
• The petitioner asserts that the NRC
staff was not being aggressive in
resolving plant equipment issues, not
resolving PCP equipment issues
uniformly across the NRC regions, and
accommodating the nuclear industry.
The request is being treated pursuant
to § 2.206 of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and has
been referred to the Director of the
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
(NRR). In accordance with 10 CFR
2.206, the NRC will take appropriate
action on this petition within a
reasonable period of time. The
petitioner met with the NRR’s Petition
Review Board on April 8 and September
3, 2014, to discuss the petition. The
Petition Review Board considered the
results of that discussion in its
determination of the petitioner’s request
for immediate action and in the
establishment of the schedule for the
review of the petition.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day
of September 2014.
