Draft RAI on GL 2008-01 Jim and Fritzie, By letter dated October 14, 2008, as supplemented by letter dated February 11, 2009, FPL Energy Point Beach, LLC, provided a response to Generic Letter (GL) 2008-01.
The Reactor Systems Branch has reviewed the information provided and determined that in order to complete its evaluation, additional information is required. We would like to discuss the questions, in draft form below, with you in a conference call.
This e-mail aims solely to prepare you and others for the proposed conference call. It does not convey a formal NRC staff position, and it does not formally request for additional information.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DRAFT Guidance on Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff expectations is provided by Reference 1 which is generally consistent with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) guidance provided to industry in Reference 2 as clarified in later NEI communications. The NRC staff recommends that the licensee consult Reference 1 when responding to the following RAIs:
- 1. Clarify the schedule for submitting a possible license amendment, including the maximum time after NRC acceptance of the TSTF traveler that the possible license amendment will be submitted to the NRC.
- 2. Describe the evaluation used to produce the plant-specific numbers used in Table 2 of Reference 5, include a discussion of assumptions, and the interim pump gas ingestion limits used to calculate the acceptance criteria in Table 2.
- 3. Clarify the frequency of periodic venting and inspections.
- 4. The licensees venting procedures require engineering to be informed if detectable gas is found. The corrective action procedure requires an Action Request (AR) to be written if a condition adverse to quality is found. Clarify what criteria will be used to determine if a condition is adverse to quality.
- 5. Training was not identified in the GL but is considered to be a necessary part of applying procedures and other activities when addressing the issues identified in the GL as the licensee has recognized. Provide a brief description of training.
