January 30, 2015 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION BEFORE THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD In the Matter of )
)
PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY ) Docket Nos. 50-275-LR/ 50-323-LR
)
(Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, )
Units 1 and 2) )
NRC STAFF MOTION REGARDING DR. MICHAEL PECKS E-MAIL TO THE BOARD INTRODUCTION Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a), the NRC staff (Staff) respectfully requests that the Board not consider the January 21, 2015 e-mail from Dr. Michael Peck to Judge Ryerson in any determination made in this proceeding. 1 The e-mail raises issues outside the scope of license renewal that are not relevant to the proposed or admitted contentions, and Dr. Pecks statements do not represent the position of the Staff.
BACKGROUND On January 21, 2015, the Board held oral argument on the admissibility of three contentions filed by Friends of the Earth concerning the September 2014 Shoreline Fault Report prepared by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) for the State of California. 2 Less than 1
Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(b), counsel for the Staff certifies that it made a sincere effort to contact the other parties in this proceeding and explained to them the legal and factual reasons for this motion. Counsel for PG&E stated that PG&E supports the motion and reserves the right to respond in due course, if necessary. Counsel for Friends of the Earth stated that Friends of the Earth opposes the motion. Counsel for San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace was contacted, but did not provide a response.
2 See Friends of the Earths Request for a Hearing and Petition to Intervene (Oct. 10, 2014)
(continued. . .)
one hour after the argument concluded, Dr. Michael Peck, an NRC employee who is not a Staff witness in this matter, sent Judge Ryerson an ex parte communication via e-mail concerning several seismic documents related to Diablo Canyon and the nature of the plants current licensing basis (CLB). 3 Specifically, Dr. Pecks e-mail discussed: (1) the development of the 1977 Hosgri Report; (2) the proper interpretation of the differing professional opinion (DPO) filed by Dr. Peck in 2013; (3) how Diablo Canyons three design basis earthquakes are applied to operability; and (4) the licensees duty to update the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 50.71(e). 4 Judge Ryerson promptly requested that the Office of the Secretary serve Dr. Pecks e-mail on the parties and place it on the license renewal docket. 5 DISCUSSION The Staff asks the Board not to consider Dr. Pecks communication for three reasons.
First, the issues raised in the e-mail are not relevant to license renewal; rather, the e-mail concerns current licensing issues, i.e., the methods for performing operability determinations, and the licensees duty to update its FSAR. 6 Such matters are not within the scope of license renewal. 7

6 Id.
7 Florida Power & Light Co. (Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 3 and 4), CLI-01-17, 54 NRC 3, 8-9 (2001) (stating that the Commissions ongoing regulatory oversight ensures the adequacy of the plants current licensing basis, thus there is no reason to reanalyze the adequacy of the CLB for license renewal).
Second, Dr. Pecks e-mail is not relevant to the proposed or admitted contentions in this proceeding. Friends of the Earths proposed contentions relate to the impact of purportedly new information in the Shoreline Fault Report on the license renewal application. 8 Friends of the Earths contentions do not pertain to the documents referenced by Dr. Peck, to how the plants three design basis earthquakes are applied to operability, or to the licensees duty to update the FSAR. The e-mail is also not germane to the admitted contention filed by San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace, because it is unrelated to the Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives Analysis submitted by the licensee. 9 Third, Dr. Pecks communication does not represent the position of the Staff. The Staffs views pertaining to issues raised in this proceeding can be found in its filings submitted on this docket. Information concerning Dr. Pecks DPO and the Staffs resolution of his concerns can be found in a separate, publicly available DPO case file available on ADAMS. 10 This proceeding is not the appropriate forum to revisit the arguments made by Dr. Peck or the Staffs responses.
CONCLUSION For all of the foregoing reasons, the Staff requests that the Board not consider Dr.
Pecks e-mail in this proceeding.
Respectfully submitted,
