SUMMARY
OF JANUARY 16, 2013, MEETING WITH FRIENDS OF THE EARTH REGARDING ITS 10 CFR 2.206 PETITION REQUESTING ACTION AGAINST SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON (TAC NOS. MF0060 AND MF0061)
On January 16, 2013, a Category 3 public meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and representatives of the Friends of the Earth at NRC Headquarters, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland. The meeting notice and agenda dated December 27, 2012, is available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML13002A236. A list of attendees is provided in the Enclosure.
On November 8,2012, the NRC approved a Memorandum and Order (CLI-12-20) to address the intervention petition, where Friends of the Earth (FOE) argued that Southern California Edison (SCE) violated Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.59 when the steam generators for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3, were replaced in 2010 and 2011 without a license amendment. FOE requested a hearing on its 10 CFR 50.59 claim, and asked that its petition not be construed as a request for enforcement relief under 10 CFR 2.206. In a subsequent submittal, FOE stated that the 10 CFR 2.206 process was not a "viable alternative" for obtaining relief. The Commission disagreed and referred this portion of FOE's petition to the Executive Director for Operations (EDO) for consideration as a petition under 10 CFR 2.206. SCE provided a response to the petition on January 11, 2013, which is available in ADAMS at Accession No. ML13011A298. The purpose of the meeting was to provide the petitioner with an opportunity to address the NRC Petition Review Board (PRB).
As described in Management Directive 8.11, "Review Process for 10 CFR 2.206 Petitions," the petitioners are provided the opportunity to address the PRB in order to provide any relevant additional explanation and support for the petition in advance of the PRB's evaluation. FOE's slides are available in ADAMS at Accession No. ML13015A208. In addition, FOE stated that they planned to supplement their position. The meeting was recorded by the NRC's Operations Center and transcribed by a court reporter. The transcript is available in ADAMS at Accession
