Vogtle Hazard Report Cover Letter Date: Thursday, March 07, 2013 3:20:00 PM

All, I just had a call with Ken McElroy about the March 5, 2013, letter submitted by Southern that contained Vogtles flooding hazard reanalysis. The subject language was on the second page of the cover letter that stated:

If an integrated assessment is requested by the NRC as specified in Reference 1, it will be complete in 2015 or per the priority determined by the NRC after all reevaluations requested by Reference 1 are complete and submitted by Reference 1 recipients.

I clarified that the NRC wasnt intending to identify those licensees that needed to do an integrated assessment. Instead, the licensee would need to compare the reevaluated hazard to the current design basis and determine the need for one. Additionally, I clarified that the subsequent prioritization was only for seismic and all integrated assessments would be due 2 years from submission of the hazard report.

They indicated that they agreed that Vogtle would need to do an integrated assessment and would send in a supplemental letter to clarify the original statement.

Ill put this e-mail in ADAMS to document the interaction. Please let me know if you have any questions.
