SUMMARY

OF APRIL 21,2010, CATEGORY 1 TELECONFERENCE WITH FIRSTENERGY NUCLEAR OPERATING COMPANY ON GENERIC LETTER 2004-02 (TAC NOS. MC4665 AND MC4666)

On April 21, 2010, a Category 1 public teleconference was held between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and representatives of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (the licensee). The purpose of the teleconference was to discuss the NRC staff's request for additional information (RAI) dated February 18, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML100290318),

regarding Generic Letter 2004-02, "Potential Impact of Debris Blockage on Emergency Recirculation during Design Basis Accidents at Pressurized-Water Reactors," and agree on the licensee's draft RAI responses for Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (BVPS-1 and 2). Enclosed is a list of attendees.

The licensee provided draft RAI responses for the NRC staff to review. The NRC staff provided the licensee and its contractor detailed feedback on each response. The following table summarizes the discussion of each proposed response:

RAI Question NRC Staff Requested Action "Chemical Effects" 1. For BVPS-2, state that credit sought is temperature-based and that under all cases, full WCAP precipitate load is assumed present at 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. For BVPS-2, provide a reference in the final response to support the assertion on sodium aluminum silicate and briefly describe why Vogtle data is relevant to BVPS-2.
3. Delete the following sentence on page 96 of 109, in section "BVPS-1 ANL Correlation," "Using the ANL correlation approach to delaying the onset of chemical effects ensures it is unlikely that a full debris bed will be established within minutes following pump start." Instead, discuss physical phenomena that make precipitation unlikely. Argument should be based on elevated temperature. Add same reference and discussion regarding why Vogtle data applies to BVPS-2.
4. With changes agreed to as documented herein, the NRC staff finds this draft response regarding chemical effects and Appendix II appears satisfactory.

-2 RAI Question NRC Staff Requested Action 1 I" 1 and 2 None draft response appears satisfactory r 4 throuqh 19 Clarify that axial break of 11.25 inches is limiting break. With that change, draft response appears satisfactory.

None - draft response appears satisfactory

20. (a and c) None draft response appears satisfactory
20. b Add clarification on how any components assumed leak-tight were validated to be leak-tight.
21. (a, b, c, d, and f) None draft response appears satisfactory
21. e Add discussion of why miscellaneous debris would not affect result.

22 through 25 None draft response appears satisfactory The licensee agreed to revise and submit the draft responses to RAI questions 20.b and 21.e by April 30, 2010.

Please direct any inquiries to me at 301-415-1016, or Nadiyah.Morgan@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, r Nadiyah S. Morgan, Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch 1-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-334 and 50-412
