ENCLOSURE 2 REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION OCTOBER 14, 2014 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of DTE Electric Company (DTE) held a telephone conference call on October 14, 2014, to discuss and clarify the following requests for additional information (RAIs) concerning the license renewal application (LRA).
RAI TE-15 The ER (Section 3.6.8, p.3-123) indicates that in October 2007, 45 dead birds were found at the Fermi 2 south cooling tower during a 1-week period. During the site audit, DTE staff described to NRC staff a 2-year surveillance effort that DTE undertook in 2008 and 2009 and subsequently developed guidance for reportability of excessive bird impaction events as unusual or important environmental events under Appendix B, Section 4.1, of the Fermi 2 operating license (ML053060228). Provide the following related to this information:
- a. A table of all available bird strike occurrences from the Fermi 2 site that includes the following: date observed, species, number of individuals affected, and any follow-up actions that DTE undertook.
- b. The results of the 2008 and 2009 surveillance effort if not included in the table requested above in (a).
- c. Provide the following reference related to this request, which was provided for NRC staff review to support TE-20 during the environmental audit.
- i. CARD Action Item 08-20337-02, Reporting Unusual or Important Environmental Events (including all appendices)
Discussion: DTE requested clarification for item c in RAI TE-15. DTE expressed concerns with submitting the entire reference on the docket and requested clarification of what information in the reference the staff needed to support their review. As a result of the discussion the staff revised the item c in RAI TE-15 as follows:
Provide a summary of the nuclear licensing work instruction for reporting unusual or important environmental events. In the summary, please include examples of the types of events that would result in a report to the NRC, such as mortality or observation of a Federally listed or State-listed species, fish kills, or excessive bird mortality. In addition, provide a list of the Federally-listed and State-listed species described in the appendices of the nuclear licensing work instruction.
