UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 December 11, 2009 Mr. Jack M. Davis Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Detroit Edison Company Fermi 2 -210 NOC 6400 North Dixie Highway Newport, MI 48166 SUB..IECT: FERMI NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 2 - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING GENERIC LETTER 2008-01, "MANAGING GAS ACCUMULATION IN EMERGENCY CORE COOLING, DECAY HEAT REMOVAL, AND CONTAINMENT SPRAY SYSTEMS" (TAC NO. MD7827)
Dear Mr. Davis:
By letters dated October 14, 2008 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML082970220), and July 29, 2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML092160404), Detroit Edison, the licensee for Fermi Unit 2, provided a response to Generic Letter 2008-01. On the basis of the provided information, the NRC Staff has concluded that additional information is required from the licensee to determine that the licensee has acceptably demonstrated "that the subject systems are in compliance with the current licensing and design bases and applicable regulatory requirements, and that suitable design, operational, and testing control measures are in place for maintaining this compliance" as stated in Generic Letter 2008-01.
The initial request for additional information was transmitted to the licensee via e-mail dated November 13, 2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML093170245). During the teleconference with the licensee on November 17, 2009, the staff agreed to modify this request. Please provide a response within 45 days of the date of this letter.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please feel free to contact me at (301) 415-8371.
Sincerely, Mahesh L. Chawla, Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch 111-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-341

Request for Additional Information cc w/encl: Distribution via ListServ
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FERMI NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 2 DOCKET NO. 50-341 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 Request for Additional Information:
- 1. Describe how, when found during the performance of routine surveillance and ultrasonic testing, void volumes are determined or quantified.
- 2. Discuss what provisions are in place to assure that gas was removed, and not transported to a high point that was previously found to be void-free, following the performance of venting procedures.
- 3. Please clarify whether all voids found will be quantified and recorded as a part of the Condition Assessment Resolution Document (CARD) entry process that is followed when voids are found during routine surveillance, and, if any found voiding is not entered as a CARD, why it would be excluded.
- 4. Provide a brief discussion of any training that is planned in response to GL 2008-001.
