On October 15-16, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (N RC) performed an onsite audit of the Environmental Report (ER) and supporting documentation developed for the License Renewal Application for the Vogtle Units 1 and 2. By letter dated September 5, 2007, the NRC provided Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) with a list of questions and information requests to be addressed during the audit. On October 23, 2007 the NRC submitted a list of Post Audit Information Requests that were developýed based on the review of the requested information and interviews with SNC personnel and SNC contractors during the audit.The NRC requested SNC's response to the Post Audit Information Request be formally submitted to support the development of their Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The NRC has requested SNC to submit the requested information in two phases, in order to allow the NRC to expedite development of the EIS. The enclosure to this letter provides SNC responses to NRC requests for information that was readily available.

This response includes the majority of the NRC information requests and SNC has identified eleven (11) items that will require additional time for responses.

These items will be addressed in a subsequent letter.Included with this submittal is information that is copyright protected.

The Cooling Water System (CWS)which includes the two 500 ft cooling tower receives water from the Savannah River and circulates the water through the turbine plant. Blow down water from the cooling towers is discharged back into the Savannah River. The (NSCW) system is design for Safety Reactor Cooling and as an Ultimate Heat Sink. The NSCW utilizes groundwater from four wells (MV-1 and MV-2 and backup wells TW-1 and TW-2) for operation.

The system has four 80 ft deep cooling sumps with fans that receive the NSCW water and discharge the blow down to the Savannah River.Tom Moorer was gracious enough to explain the difference between the CWS and NSCW cooling systems numerous times to NRC and Earth Tech. In addition, Figure 3.3 of the Environmental Study, March 1974 presents a diagram.H5 Response:

This information will be provided in a subsequent letter.Please provide the 2006 VEGP Surface Water Quality H6 Monitoring Program Report. I I Response:

Copies of the year 2006 Monthly Surface Water Withdrawal Reports are included in Enclosure 2.Please provide the NPDES Discharge Monitoring H7 lReports for the last 5 years.Response:

This request was answered in item Al10.18 LR-07-2088 Enclosure 1 Post Audit Information Request Vogtle Units 1 & 2 License Renewal -October 2007)hl~~aRqlef~frR~S Tom Moorer stated that there is no minimum level established to curtail surface water withdrawal from the Savannah River in the case of a drought. Instead, a Drought Plan (which is part of the Surface Water Withdrawal Permit)and Drought Task Force has been established with the US Army Corps of Engineers to address river flow and withdrawals.

There are four Action Levels that are based on the release from Thurmond Dam. At a pool of 312 ft msl in Thurmond Dam, the minimum flow is 3800 cfs. With the current Georgia drought the measuring station in Waynesboro has not dropped below 4000 cfs.Please verify the above summary and add information on the four response levels, especially Level 3 and 4 when the flow is below 3800 cfs.H8 Response:

This information will be provided in a subsequent letter.Please provide a copy of the Surface Water Withdrawal H9 Permit and the Groundwater Withdrawal Permit.Response:

Copies of the Surface Water Withdrawal Permit and the Groundwater Withdrawal Permit are included in Enclosure 2.19 LR-07-2088 Enclosure 1 Post Audit Information Request In IInife 1 X. 9 I ianca lanowni -.frfnhar 9fnn7&r-met* Reference Gary Gunter with Tetra Tech stated that information from the UFSAR was used to develop a spreadsheet model for groundwater drawdown for the new reactor licensing.

Both"confined nonleaky aquifer" and"confined leaky aquifer" drawdowns were modeled. Please provide the hydrogeologic data and calculation package on the groundwater that VEGP used in the ER for the Proposed Reactor Units 3 and 4.Earth Tech would like to be able to re-create the model's output.H1O Response:

The hydrogeology aquifer test data is included in Enclosure 2.NRC has viewed the document on Based on Phone Web, but it has information conversation with JP redacted and they are requesting Additional on 10/23/2007 Provide the Integrated Resource Plan the complete plan.Response:

Due to the volume of material (excess of 15,000 pages) included in the IRP, SNC is requesting the NRC to interview Mike Dusanewskyj from NRC for the requested information.

Mr. Dusanewskyj came to Georgia Power Company and reviewed the IRP subsequent to submittal to the Georgia Public Service Commission.

SNC can provide the PSC order when it becomes available.
