November 6, 2009 The Honorable Christopher J. Connors New Jersey Senator 9th District Legislative Offices 620 West Lacey Road Forked River, NJ 08731
Dear Mr. Connors:
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or staff), I am responding to your letter of May 28, 2009, in which you expressed your support of Congressman Christopher H.
Smiths request to the NRC that Sandia National Laboratories review the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station three-dimensional finite element analysis of the drywell shell. The NRC strives to enhance awareness of the NRCs independent role in protecting people and the environment by conducting thorough reviews for all licensing actions associated with operating power reactors. The staff has performed not just one, but several reviews of the Oyster Creek drywell shell. Additionally, other independent entities have also reviewed the drywell shell using different methodologies. All reviews came to the same conclusion that the Oyster Creek drywell shell meets the requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
I have enclosed our response to Congressman Smiths letter of May 18, 2009, which provides additional information regarding the reviews of the Oyster Creek drywell shell. Thank you for your interest in this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me or my staff in the future with your concerns.
Sincerely,
/RA/
