SUBJECT:

SUMMARY

OF OCTOBER 18,2012, MEETING WITH FIRSTENERGY NUCLEAR OPERATING COMPANY TO DISCUSS REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THEIR PROPOSED REVISED DUE DATE FOR THE UPCOMING BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD 805 SUBMITTAL (TAC NOS.

ME9015 AND ME9016)

On October 18, 2012, a Category 1 public meeting was held via teleconference between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and representatives of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC, the licensee). The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a draft request for additional information (RAI) sent by the NRC staff to FENOC on September 19, 2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12263A420). The RAI was sent in response to a FENOC letter dated August 29,2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12243A245), notifying the NRC of a revision to the projected submittal date for a future license amendment request (LAR) involving a transition to National Fire Protection Association Standard 805 (NFPA 805), for Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The projected LAR submission date, and the associated request for extension of enforcement discretion for certain fire protection issues, was changed from September 30, 2012, to December 31,2013. The meeting was held to provide an opportunity for the licensee to discuss the RAI and the proposed response with the NRC staff before submitting the response in writing.

The licensee provided an overview of their proposed responses to each of the NRC RAI questions. The NRC staff asked several clarifying questions to help the licensee understand the intent of the RAI, and to help the NRC staff understand FENOC's rationale for some of the information in the August 29, 2012, submittal. None of the RAI questions were changed as a result of the meeting discussion, and it was agreed that FENOC will provide a formal response, in writing, to the RAI by November 2, 2012. FENOC management indicated their high degree of confidence that the proposed revised due date of December 31, 2013, for submission of an acceptable NFPA 805 LAR, is achievable, without further adjustment.

No proprietary information was discussed at the meeting. No comments from members of the public participating in the meeting were received. A list of attendees is provided in the Enclosure.
