September 16, 2004 MEMORANDUM TO: Edwin M. Hackett, Project Director Project Directorate II Division of Licensing Project Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation FROM:

Pao-Tsin Kuo, Program Director License Renewal and Environmental Impacts Division of Regulatory Improvement Programs Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

SUBJECT:

COST BENEFICIAL SEVERE ACCIDENT MITIGATION ALTERNATIVES (SAMA) IDENTIFIED DURING THE LICENSE RENEWAL REVIEW FOR THE JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 The License Renewal and Environmental Impacts Program is referring the three cost beneficial SAMAs that were identified during the environmental portion of the license renewal review for the Joseph M. Farley Plant Units 1 and 2 (Farley) to Project Directorate II for your information and action as appropriate. Chapter 5 and Appendix G of the attached NUREG-1437

?Supplement 18, to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Regarding the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (SEIS) contains the analysis that identified the three cost beneficial SAMAs. None of the cost beneficial SAMAs were related to aging management and, therefore, were not within the scope of 10 CFR Part 54, the license renewal rule. Since the SAMAs were not within the scope of the license renewal rule the staff did not require Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC), the licensee for Farley, to implement the cost effective SAMAs during license renewal. SNC did state in an April 22, 2004, response to a request for additional information, that they planned to implement SAMA S166, and will evaluate SAMAs 7 and 11 for implementation.

The cost beneficial SAMAs that were identified during the review are:

SAMA 7 - Increase the charging pump lube oil capacity by adding a supplemental lube oil reservoir for each charging pump, C

SAMA 11 - Use the existing hydro test pump for reactor coolant pump seal injection, C

SAMA S166 - Proceduralize local manual operation of the auxiliary feed water when control power is lost Mr. Robert Palla of the Probabilistic Safety Assessment Branch (SPSB) performed the review and should be consulted for any additional information regarding the cost beneficial SAMAs. If you have any other questions concerning this matter, please contact the environmental project manager for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant License Renewal Project, Jack Cushing, at 301-415-1424 or via email at JXC9@nrc.gov.
