On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued an order (Reference 1) to South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G). Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs SCE&G to have a reliable indication of the water level in associated spent fuel storage pools.

Reference 1 requires submission of a 6-month status report following the submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 2). The purpose of this letter is to provide the 6-month status report pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.2, of Reference 1. SCE&G developed an Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 2), documenting the requirements to install reliable spent fuel pool level instrumentation, in response to Reference 1. Attachment I provides the 6-month status report of milestone accomplishments since the submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan.

This update includes any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Mr. Bruce L. Thompson at (803) 931-5042.

1. Introduction SCE&G developed an Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 2), documenting the requirements to install reliable spent fuel pool level instrumentation (SFPLI), in response to Reference 1. This attachment provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, if any.

2. Milestone Accomplishments The following milestone(s) in section 3 have been completed since the development of the Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 2), and are current as of August 28, 2013.

Prepared SCE&G's Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation (Order Number EA-12-051) (TAC NO. MF1173).

3. Milestone Schedule Status The following provides an update to milestone schedule to support the Overall Integrated Plan.

This section provides the activity status of each item, and the expected completion date. The dates are planning dates subject to change as design and implementation details are developed.

The revised milestone target completion dates do not impact the order implementation date.
