9 Twin Orchard Drive Oswego, NY 13126 March 10, 2008 Mr. Luis A. Reyes Executive Director for Operations US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001
Dear Mr. Luis A. Reyes:
Event Number 44048, issued today, once again describes a problem with Indian Point emergency sirens.
Please consider this letter as three 10CFR2.206 petitions.
First It is apparent to me that Entergy/Indian Point cannot or will not be distracted from running two nuclear power plants at full power, even when it means not meeting the requirements of a law to have accepted, operable, backup power emergency sirens. Since enforcement efforts so far have been totally ineffective, I am requesting the immediate amendment of the Entergy/Indian Point Unit 2 licensed power level from 100% to 0%. I am also requesting the immediate amendment of the Entergy/Indian Point Unit 3 licensed power level from 100% to 0%.
Perhaps without the chore of operating two units, time, resources, and effort can be spent in two other places: one would be the "new" emergency sirens and the second would be unloading the Entergy/Indian Point Unit 1 spent fuel pool.
Second Shortly after I started working on shift at a commercial nuclear plant, it was announced that we were being fined by the NRC about $70,000 plus. (This was a lot of money in 1980.) About 6 weeks later, we were fined about $30,000 plus. Well, it turns out that we had told the NRC that we had installed core spray keep-fill systems. The problem was that we hadn't and the NRC found out. That wasn't all. The site (?) superintendent, (the highest management person on site at that time), was prohibited from any nuclear work for 3 months and was not allowed on site for the same 3 months. The next outage, we had 2 core spray keep-fill systems, one on each core spray system.
In a similar vein, I am requesting that you impose sanctions on the Entergy/Indian Point management and ownership organizations, starting at the next level up from Mr. M.
Balduzzi. It is not acceptable, in my estimation, for all these organizations to not be held accountable for a total lack of performance. (The Unit 2 and Unit 3 organizations are shown on the attached sheet. I do not have a diagram of the Unit 1 organizations.)
EDO -- G20080180
Third Entergy/Indian Point performance at the Unit 1 spent fuel pools has apparently become a yearly promise to start unloading the spent fuel. I do not find this acceptable since the filled-with-water spent fuel pool continues to leak contaminated water into the ground.
For all NRC Enforcement employees who have not documented this performance as unacceptable, I request that you place a letter of reprimand in their personnel file, or take such other action as you may feel is necessary.
Thank *u, Thomas Gurdziel*
