SUBJECT:
BWR Containment Venting ENCLOSURES: BWR Containment Venting Rev. 1, dated 10/29/2013 (TA 375)
Dear Mr. Pollock:
As part of the continuing dialogue between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and nuclear plant licensees in responding to the Commissions Order EA-12-049, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events, and its associated Requests for Additional Information (RAIs), the NRC held public meetings with licensees regarding the Implementation of Order EA-12-049, Generic Concerns for PWRs and BWRs.
One of the eight generic concerns for BWRs relates to anticipatory or beyond design basis venting of BWR containment. The Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group (BWROG) Fukushima Response Committee members provided significant input to the development of the attached document, BWR Containment Venting Rev. 1, dated 10/29/2013. Therefore, the BWROG supports the position presented in the attached document.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or Terri Farthing, BWROG Project Manager (910-819-5040).
