RE: phone call with NPPD to discussion comments on Cooper NFPA 805 safety evaluation (ME8551)
The purpose of this email is to capture background information for a phone call that was held on 4/10/14 between NRC representatives and Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) representatives to discuss comments the NRC staff received on a draft of the Cooper safety evaluation associated with NPPDs license amendment request to transition to National Fire Protection Association 805 requirements. The agenda for the phone call can be found below.
The draft safety evaluation was provided to NPPD in an email dated March 27, 2014, and was provided to NPPD in accordance with NRCs Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Office Instruction COM-203, Revision 2, which states in part:
As another example, a Draft Safety Evaluation (SE) might be provided to a licensee or applicant to obtain agreement that it contains no proprietary information, in accordance with Office Instruction LIC-204. Similarly, draft SEs or selected portions thereof may be provided to a licensee or applicant to obtain agreement that factual information is accurate and complete. If these exchanges result in the discovery of new information needed for decision making, then this additional information must be appropriately submitted and preserved.
The staff binned the comments received by NPPD into three different files found below (i.e., administrative, editorial, and technical. The staff indicated that in some cases it would make changes to the safety evaluation based on NPPDs comments. The changes will be reflected in the final version of the documents.
