Subject:

Hardened vents and filtered vents -- July (2012) report soon?

Now that Jaczko is not the Chairman, is this really going to happen?

On February 27, 2012, Jaczko said, "... important that the Commission make a decision on the topic of filtered vents this summer...

A policy paper from the staff was expected during July 2012.

http://www.nrc.qov/readinq-rm/doc-collections/commission/cvr/2012/2012-0025vtr-qbi. pdf Following is the fourth paragraph of the above Jaczko document:

I support the staffs evaluat+.on regarding waitirng ur*fil February 2013, to require-submissin -.f licensee pl ans lor irrplemenfing their hardened vent desrgnusto alkow lime otra Commism.sior ddocion on Me topic of filteredl vew s. As rmoed I. the ýECY, tho staff p!las to =nd-a popey paper -to the CommIssion in July" 2012 which will oultiwe consldeiwatfons for the addilio.. ol Iilteis to th@ Iohaid&nod agnt daeg.g*.g.

I 1.iýv@ it. i imp6 rrint th:tho Cornmmigsi*. m.e a deisi, aan the topic or lilke-d vents this sumrmer 5o that licensees will hae more certaifity and can move forward with irnlplermeuting their vent des.igns without lear of NRC chnl-,ing the requirerm.erits..

I note that WPPSS (now Energy Northwest) never voluntarily installed hardened vents at Hanford-2 (now Columbia Generating Station). However, as of May 22, 2012, that Station may now operate until 2042 and it will not voluntarily install hardened vents and filters, although it is a Fukushima-type unit.
