Accession No. ML111250360), to all holders of operating licenses for nuclear power reactors, except those that have permanently ceased operation and have certified that fuel has been removed from the reactor vessel. The purpose of the bulletin was to obtain a comprehensive verification that licensees mitigating strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, spent fuel cooling, and containment following a large explosion or fire were compliant with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.54(hh)(2). The bulletin requested information on licensee 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2) mitigating strategies in light of the recent events at Japans Fukushima Daiichi facility to determine if (1) additional assessment of program implementation is needed, (2) the current inspection program should be enhanced, or (3) further regulatory action is warranted.

The bulletin required two sets of responses pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(f). The first responses were due 30 days after issuance of the bulletin, by June 10, 2011. The second responses were due 60 days after issuance of the bulletin, by July 11, 2011. By letters dated June 10, 2011 and July 7, 2011 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML11164A266 and ML11192A032, respectively), you provided responses for Cooper Nuclear Station.

The NRC staff has reviewed the submitted information and has determined that the information specified in the attached draft Request for Additional Information (RAI) is needed regarding your 60-day response to the bulletin.

Please contact me if a clarifying teleconference is needed for the attached RAIs.
