Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Commitment to Maintain Severe Accident Management Guidelines Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-416 License No. NPF-29 Nuclear Energy Institute Industry Initiative to Maintain Severe Accident Management Guidelines Letter to the Nuclear Strategic Issues Advisory Committee, dated October 26, 2015
Dear Sir or Madam:
The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Nuclear Strategic Issues Advisory Committee (NSIAC) recently approved an Industry Initiative to maintain and perform timely updates to site specific Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMGs)(Reference). This letter establishes commitments related to SAMGs for Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS). These guidelines will be used by emergency response personnel during accident conditions that progress beyond the mitigation capabilities described in Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs). SAMG strategies are intended to arrest the progression of fuel damage, maintain the capability of the containment as long as possible, and minimize radiological releases.
This letter contains new SAMG commitments, listed in the Attachment.
It is expected that NRC staff personnel will conduct periodic inspection of our SAMGs and any performance deficiencies will be assessed using the Reactor Oversight Process. We also understand that inspection activities will not extend to NRC review and approval of SAMG strategies, or the use of equipment described in the SAMGs.
Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. James Nadeau, Regulatory Assurance Manager at (601) 437-2103.
