The petitioners requested that the NRC either: (1) Issue orders which require immediate corrective actions including compensatory measures to address the operability of electric power systems in accordance with their plant Technical Specifications, and to implement plant modifications in accordance with current NRC regulatory requirements and staff guidance provided in the references within the 2.206 petition, or (2) issue orders to immediately shutdown the nuclear power plants that are operating without addressing the significant design deficiency identified in NRC Bulletin 2012–01, ‘‘Design Vulnerability in Electric Power System,’’ since the licensees are not in compliance with their Technical Specifications 3.8.1 (typical) requirements related to onsite and offsite power systems. As the basis for this request, the petitioners refer to a Byron Station operating event, which led to the NRC’s issuance of Information Notice 2012–03, ‘‘Design Vulnerability in Electric Power System,’’ dated March 1, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML120480170).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 19, 2016, the petitioners 
requested that the NRC take action with regard to all current operating 
nuclear power plants (ADAMS Accession No. ML16050A212). The petitioners 
requested that the NRC either: (1) Issue orders which require immediate 
corrective actions including compensatory measures to address the 
operability of electric power systems in accordance with their plant 
Technical Specifications, and to implement plant modifications in 
accordance with current NRC regulatory requirements and staff guidance 
provided in the references within the 2.206 petition, or (2) issue 
orders to immediately shutdown the nuclear power plants that are 
operating without addressing the significant design deficiency 
identified in NRC Bulletin 2012-01, ``Design Vulnerability in Electric 
Power System,'' since the licensees are not in compliance with their 
Technical Specifications 3.8.1 (typical) requirements related to onsite 
and offsite power systems.
    As the basis for this request, the petitioners refer to a Byron 
Station operating event, which led to the NRC's issuance of Information 
Notice 2012-03, ``Design Vulnerability in Electric Power System,'' 
dated March 1, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML120480170). On July 27, 
2012, the NRC issued Bulletin 2012-01, ``Design Vulnerability in 
Electric Power System'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML12074A115), to require 
that the addressees comprehensively verify their compliance with the 
regulatory requirements of General Design Criteria (GDC) 17, ``Electric 
Power System,'' in Appendix A, ``General Design Criteria for Nuclear 
Power Plants,'' to 10 CFR part 50 or the applicable principal design 
criteria in the updated final safety analysis report; and the design 
criteria for protection systems under 10 CFR 50.55a(h)(2) and 10 CFR 
50.55a(h)(3). All licensees provided a response to Bulletin 2012-01. 
The NRC staff conducted an analysis of these responses, and documented 
the details of its review in a summary report dated February 26, 2013 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13052A711). Based on the analysis, the NRC staff 
determined that some licensees may not fully comply with their site-
specific license. The licensees began implementing compensatory 
measures and corrective actions that the NRC staff has been monitoring.
    The request is being treated pursuant to Sec.  2.206 of title 10 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) of the Commission's 
regulations. The request has been referred to the Director of the 
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. As provided by 10 CFR 2.206, 
appropriate action will be taken on this petition within a reasonable 
time.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 21st day of March 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
William M. Dean,
Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
