ME6818 - DAEC - Adoption of NFPA 805 - Request for Additional Information (RAI)

By letter dated August 5, 2011, NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC, (the Licensee), submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to transition their fire protection licensing basis at the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC), from Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 50.48(b), to 10CFR50.48(c), National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 805 (NFPA 805).

In the course of performing its review of the application and its supplements, NRC staff identified a need for additional information regarding the qualifications requirements for fire brigade staffing. On April 30, 2013 a clarification conference call was held with Duane Arnold staff to describe the type of information needed.

Attending the April 30, 2013 conference call were:

  • For DAEC - Laura Swenzinski, Alexander Panagos, Tracy Weaver, Vinny Rubano, Thomas Carmody, Chris Moser, all by phone.

Below is the statement of the information that is requested. Our understanding is that you are able to respond to this request within 3 weeks from the date of this RAI and may be able to respond sooner. Please contact me if further clarification would be able to speed your response.

We request the following information:

BACKGROUND The compliance statement for LAR Table B-1, Element 3.4.1 (c) [On-Site Fire-Fighting Capability] is complies. The associated implementation item no. 8 (Attachment S, Table S-2) states that fire brigade requirements will be updated to include a third person from Operations or to provide a dedicated operations advisor to the fire brigade.
