NPF-14 PLA-7185 Docket No. 50-387 Attached is Licensee Event Report (LER) 50-387/2014-006-00. The condition reported by this LER was an expected condition, which was the result of planned activities in support of a routine refueling outage. As described in the LER, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) provided enfor'?ement guidance, applicable to boiling water reactor licensees, that allows the reported condition. Although this allowance is provided by the NRC's enforcement guidance, the planned activities are still considered reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) as a condition prohibited by Technical Specifications (TS). Specifically, operations with the potential for draining the reactor vessel (OPDRVs) were performed while in Mode 5 without secondary containment being operable, as expected and allowed by the enforcement guidance. The provisions contained in NRC enforcement guidance memorandum (EGM)11-003, Revision 2, "Dispositioning Boiling Water Reactor Licensee Noncompliance with Technical Specification Containment Requirements during Operations with a Potential for Draining the Reactor Vessel," were used during performance of these OPDRVs.

There were no actual consequences to the health and safety of the public as a result of these events.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.

Specify in Abstract below or in rate and water inventory. Further, an adequate defense in depth was maintained to minimize the potential for the release of fission products with secondary containment not operable. Since these compensatory measures were implemented, an adequate level of safety was provided during the performance of the OPDRV activities described in this report.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

SSES will submit a license amendment following NRC approval of the Technical Specifications Task Force traveler associated with generic resolution of this issue within the time constraints given in EGM 11-003, Revision 2.
