Omaha Public Power District's Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012, Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond Design Basis External Events (Order Number EA-12-049)

On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an Order (Reference 2) to all power reactor licensees and holders of construction permits in active or deferred status. The Order was immediately effective and requires the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) to develop, implement, and maintain guidance and strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities in the event of a beyond-design-basis external event (BDBEE). Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 2.

This letter provides the enclosed OPPD Overall Integrated Plan pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.1, of Reference 2. The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) has provided guidance (Reference 3) to the industry for compliance with the Order.

The NEI guidance was endorsed by the NRC (with exceptions and clarifications) in the Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) (Reference 4), which describes methods acceptable to the NRC for complying with the Order.

This letter confirms OPPD has received Reference 4 and has an Overall Integrated Plan developed in accordance with the guidance for defining and deploying strategies that will enhance the ability to cope with conditions resulting from BDBEEs. Reference 5 provided OPPD's initial status report regarding mitigation strategies, as required by Reference 2.
