SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF SITE AUDIT TO SUPPORT REVIEW OF LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 An environmental review team consisting of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff and contractors from Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) participated in a site audit at Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant (CNP), Units 1 and 2 on March 9 through March 10, 2004, to support the review of the CNP license renewal application. The team consisted of one PNNL and eight ANL contractors and six NRC staff members. The primary goal of the site visit was to review documentation, gather information to ensure that environmental requirements of license renewal as codified in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 (10 CFR Part 51) are met, and to interface with officials in Federal, State, and local government permitting and resource agencies to obtain related information. is the list of NRC, ANL, PNNL, and American Electric Power (AEP)1 representatives that participated in the audit at the site. Attachment 2 is a table of documents provided to the staff by AEP to assist the staff in its review of the CNP Environmental Report.
These documents have been made publicly available, and can be found in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under the accession numbers listed in the table. ADAMS is accessible at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html, which provides access through the NRCs Public Electronic Reading Room (PERR) link. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, or who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, should contact the NRCs PDR Reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, or 301-415-4737, or by e-mail at pdr@nrc.gov.
The entire team participated in meetings and a general site tour with AEP staff on Tuesday, March 9, 2004. The site tour focused on areas relevant to the environmental review, including the meteorological tower, turbine building drain absorption pond, and storm water outfalls.
During the rest of the site audit, review team members broke off into smaller groups with AEP representatives with corresponding environmental expertise. These groups participated in various activities, including tours of the radioactive waste processing areas, intake and discharge structures, and the transmission line corridors. AEP provided a brief presentation on their new and significant information identification process to members of the environmental review team. No significant new information was identified.
In addition, during the site audit, review team members met offsite with staff representing Federal, State and local government agencies, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Information gathered through these offsite meetings will assist the environmental review team in its evaluation. No major problem areas were identified during these discussions.
At the conclusion of the site visit, the NRC environmental project manager (EPM) and ANL project team leader participated in a summary exit meeting with AEP representatives. The staff indicated that AEP provided an informative and well-represented site visit for the environmental review team. The EPM indicated that the review team did not identify any significant issues during its site visit or the visits offsite with Federal, State, and local agencies. However, the EPM further indicated that the review was ongoing, and that any additional information necessary to support the review would be formally requested as a request for additional information.
AEP submitted additional information in letters dated June 4 and June 30, 2004. The June 4 letter (Accession No. ML041670492) provided information regarding environmental stewardship, Cook Energy Center attendance records, assessment of the transmission line corridor between Collingswood and Robison Park, Indiana, enhancements to the traveling screens system, and implementation of a fish deterrent system. The June 30 letter (Accession No. ML041900057) provided information regarding AEPs process for evaluating potential new and significant information and procedures for onsite and transmission line right of way vegetation management with the potential to affect threatened or endangered bird nesting sites.
