Document Control Desk PG&E Letter DCL-13-080 August22,2013 Page 2 Reference 1 required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of Reference 2 and an overall integrated plan pursuant to Section IV, Condition C. Reference 3 provided PG&E's consent to Reference 1. Reference 4 provided PG&E's overall integrated plan. Reference 5 provided PG&E's response to a request for additional information regarding the overall integrated plan.

Reference 1 requires submission of a status report at six-month intervals following submittal of the overall integrated plan. The enclosure to this letter provides PG&E's first six-month status report pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.2 of Reference 1.

PG&E makes no regulatory commitments (as defined by NEI 99-04) in this letter.

This letter includes no revisions to existing regulatory commitments.

If you have any questions, or require additional information, please contact Mr. Patrick Nugent at (805) 781-9786.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on August 22, 2013.

PG&E Letter DCL-13-080 Enclosure Page 1 of 6 Pacific Gas and Electric Company's First Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of Order 2 ..051 1 Introduction Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) developed an overall integrated plan (alP)

(Reference 1 [Refer to Section 9 of this enclosure for a list of references.]), which includes a description of how compliance with the requirements described in Reference 2, Attachment 2 will be achieved. This enclosure provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of Reference 1, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief and the basis, if any.

2 Milestone Accomplishments The following milestones have been completed since the development of the 01 P (Reference 1) and are current as of July 31,2013:

On July 18, 2013, PG&E responded to a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) request for additional information (RAI) regarding the alP for reliable spent fuel pool (SFP) instrumentation (Reference 3).

In addition, commencement of Unit 1 and Unit 2 engineering and design has been completed.

3 Milestone Schedule Status The following table provides an update to the milestone schedule. It provides the activity status of each item, and whether the expected completion date has changed.

The dates are subject to change as design and implementation details are developed.

There were no changes to the original target completion dates.

Original Target Target Activity Completion Milestone Completion Status Date Date Changes Submit 60-day progress report 10/2012 Complete Submit overall integrated plan 2/2013 Complete Submit six-month updates Update 1 8/2013 Complete Update 2 2/2014 Not started Update 3 8/2014 Not started Update 4 2/2015 Not started Update 5 8/2015 Not started

. Unit 1 SFP instruments operational 5/31/16 Not Started 4 Changes to Compliance Method The following identifies a change to Reference 1 and the reason for the change. The change meets applicable NEI 12-02 compliance methods.

Change 1 - Key SFP Water Levels Corrected SFP Level 1 from 133 feet to 134 feet 5 inches, which is consistent with PG&E's response to an NRC RAI pertaining to reliable SFP instrumentation (Reference 3). .

5 Need for Relief and Basis for the Relief PG&E expects to comply with the implementation date in the Order. No relief is being requested at this time.
