RESPONSE TO ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS REPORT ON THE SAFETY ASPECTS OF THE LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR THE MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT
Dear Dr. Wallis:
During the 535th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS or the Committee), held on September 7, 2006, the ACRS completed its review of the license renewal application (LRA) for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP), and the associated final safety evaluation report (SER) prepared by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff. The staff appreciates the Committees expeditious review of the Monticello LRA and associated SER.
In its final report, the Committee recommended the renewal of the operating license for MNGP, with the conclusions and recommendations discussed in your letter dated September 19, 2006.
We appreciate the Committees objective and in-depth review of the MNGP application and the staffs final SER. The staff agrees with the Committees conclusions:
- 1. The programs established and committed to by the applicant to manage age-related degradation provide reasonable assurance that MNGP can be operated in accordance with its current licensing basis for the period of extended operation without undue risk to the health and safety of the public.
The staff recognizes the ACRSs commitment to safety and appreciates the Committees continued support of the license renewal process.
Sincerely,
/RA/
