RESPONSE TO ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS REPORT ON THE SAFETY ASPECTS OF THE LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR THE OYSTER CREEK GENERATING STATION
Dear Dr. Shack:
During the 539th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS or the Committee) held on February 1-3, 2007, the ACRS completed its review of the license renewal application (LRA) for the Oyster Creek Generating Station (OCGS) and the associated final safety evaluation report (SER) prepared by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff. In its final report, the Committee recommends renewal of the OCGS operating license in conjunction with the recommendations discussed in your letter dated February 8, 2007. The staff appreciates the Committees expeditious, objective, and in-depth review of the LRA and the staffs final SER. The staff agrees with the Committees recommendations:
- 1. The staff will impose a license condition to increase the frequency of the drywell inspections and to monitor the two drywell trenches to ensure that the sources of water are identified and eliminated.
- 2. The staff will ensure that the applicant fulfills its commitment to (a) perform an engineering study prior to the period of extended operation to identify options to eliminate or reduce the leakage in the OCGS refueling cavity liner, and (b) perform a 3-D (dimensional) finite-element analysis of the drywell shell prior to entering the period of extended operation.
The staff recognizes the ACRSs commitment to safety and appreciates the Committees continued support of the license renewal process.
Sincerely,
/RA/
