Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission OFFICE OF SECRETARY RULEMAKINGS AND Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 ADJUDICATIONS STAFF SERVED APRIL 1, 2009
Dear Chairman Klein:
This afternoon I received notification that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has again tentatively scheduled an Affirmation Session on License Renewal for Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station for tomorrow, April 1, 2009. As I did last month when Oyster Creek was tentatively placed on the February 4, 2009 meeting notice schedule, 1 respectfully request that the Affirmation Session be postponed and any decision on extending the operating license be deferred until the recommendations ofthe Atomic Safer!, and Licensing Board (ASLB) relating to drywell corrosion have been implemented.
In a January 31,2009 letter to me, RW. Borchardt, Executive Director for Operations for the NRC, stated that the staff of the NRC was just beginning to review a "summary report" of the results ofExelon's 3-D structural analysis of the Oyster Creek drywall shell. As you know, the ASLB has called for a more rigorous review of the completed 3-D analysis and for the NRC staff to perform or have performed a comprehensive and in-depth review ofthe complete analysis package, not just the "summary report." Furthermore, Mr. Borchardt stated that "with regard to the remainder of the ASLB's recommendations to the Commission, the recommendations are currently before the Commission and the NRC staff is awaiting the Commissions instructions on these recommendations."
To date, I have not been advised of any further progress by the Commission or the NRC staff on the ASLB' s recommendations. Thus, the NRC should not make a final decision on license renewal while the recommendations put forth by the ASLB have not been fully integrated or achieved.
In addition, I have enclosed for your review the letter submitted to the "N"'R.C today by Richard Webster an attorney representing several public interest organizations in New Jersey that have significant concerns about the unresolved safety matters at Oyster Creek.
In his letter, Mr. Webster raises an important question about the time requirements for
@ PAiNTED ON RECYCLED PAP£P
notification of tomorrow's meeting and any affirmation action. Given the considerable public interest, as well as the concerns raised by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and several of my colleagues in the New Jersey congressional delegation, it is difficult to understand the last minute notification.
I urge you to postpone the Affirmation Session, completely address and resolve outstanding safety issues, and provide a transparent, all-inclusive and timely release of safety analysis data to the public. Without such actions, public confidence in the N'RC's ability to comprehensively oversee nuclear power plant safety issues will continue to be undermined.
