SUMMARY

OF TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALL HELD ON DECEMBER 1, 2009, BETWEEN THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AND FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION, CONCERNING APPLICANT RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of Florida Power Corporation (FPC, the applicant) held a telephone conference call on December 1, 2009 to discuss the applicants response to a request for additional information (RAI) concerning the Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant (CR-3) license renewal application (LRA). The telephone conference call was useful in clarifying the applicants RAI response.

During the teleconference, the staff sought clarification on responses to RAI B.2.3-1 and B.2.8-2 provided in a letter dated October 13, 2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML092890155). The staff sought clarification on when the applicant would begin using the new lubricant that does not contain molybdenum disulfide on the reactor head closure studs as addressed in the response to RAI B.2.3-1. The applicant clarified that as described in the on-site program documentation the Reactor Head Closure Studs Program had been enhanced to replace the molybdenum-disulfide-based lubricant with the new lubricant and any future lubrication of the reactor head closure studs would use the new lubricant that does not contain molybdenum disulfide.

In response to RAI B.2.8-2 the applicant stated that [i]n the absence of actual measured yield strength data, bolting specified in the range considered medium strength by NUREG-1339 (i.e.

bolting with 120<Sy<150 ksi) and above will be assumed to be high strength bolting. The applicant clarified that these bolts will be considered for the high strength bolting inspections that will be performed to manage stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and the sampling size of the

Florida Power Corporation inspections will be based on the methodology described in EPRI TR-107514. The applicant also clarified that in consideration of the operating experience that no bolting failure has been attributed to SCC, the random sampling based on the methodology in EPRI TR-107514 is adequate to manage the aging effect due to SCC.

The enclosure provides a listing of the participants.

The applicant had an opportunity to comment on this summary.
