Duke Power Company LLC d/b/a Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC Comments on RIN 3150-AG24, Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants, NRC Supplemental Proposed Rule, 71 FR 61330 (October 17, 2006)
Duke Energy Carolinas (Duke) has reviewed the subject supplemental proposed rule language, and has participated with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) in the development of their comments. Duke endorses NEI's comments, and encourages careful consideration of those comments.
Duke acknowledges and appreciates the efforts of the NRC Staff to focus the regulation on the activities that have a nexus to radiological health and safety and/or common defense and security. Duke also agrees that it is appropriate to redefine those activities that require Commission approval in a way that acknowledges that the applicant assumes the risk in conducting those activities in advance of receipt of a license.
The appropriate changes to this regulation in this regard are significant to Duke's ability to deploy new generating facilities in a timely manner. Duke particularly endorses NEI's comments with respect to the definition of "construction" in a way that excludes excavation and activities not associated with safety-related or "safety-significant" structures, systems, and components. Incorporation of these comments will further enhance the regulation consistent with the Commission's appropriate focus, and consistent with the risk that properly belongs with the applicant.
