MAINE YANKEE 321 Old Ferry Road, Wiseasset, Maine 04578 January 12, 2015 OMY-1 5-001 10 CFR 50.71(e)(4) 10 CFR 50.4(b)(6)
ATTN: Document Control Desk U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company Maine Yankee Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation NRC License Nos. DPR-36 and SFGL-14 (NRC Docket Nos. 50-309 and 72-30)
Subject:
Biennial Update of the Maine Yankee Defueled Safety Analysis Report Pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.71 (e)(4) and 10 CFR 50.4(b)(6), Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company (Maine Yankee) is submitting a periodic update of the Maine Yankee Defueled Safety Analysis Report to the NRC. Enclosures 1 and 2 contain Revisions 26 and 27, respectively, of the Maine Yankee Defueled Safety Analysis Report in their entirety. These revisions were issued after Maine Yankee submitted its previous biennial update on January 24, 2013 (Reference 1).
The following table provides a summary of and the rationale for the changes implemented in Revisions 26 and 27 to the Maine Yankee Defueled Safety Analysis Report.
Revision Summary of and Rationale for Changes Implemented 26 A new Storage/Maintenance Building was added at the site of the former Staff Building parking lot. This new building is outside of the areas that remain within the purview of the 10 CFR 50 License as established in Amendment No. 172 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-36 (Reference 2). The changes permit Maintenance activities to be performed in a building other than the Security/Operations Building.
27 Section 4.1.1 of the Maine Yankee Defueled Safety Analysis Report was modified to state: "Personnel monitoring equipment is worn by personnel within radiologically controlled areas as directed by radiation work permits and applicable procedures." The previous revision stated: "Personnel monitoring equipment, consisting of TLD badges and secondary dosimeters, is worn by personnel within radiologically controlled areas as directed by radiation work permits." The change was made to permit the method for monitoring personnel to be defined in the applicable procedure.
This letter contains no commitments. If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. J. Stanley Brown at (207) 882-1303.
Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company OMY-15-001/January 12, 2015/Page 2 I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on January 12, 2015.
Sincerely, Wayne Norton Chief Nuclear Officer
