UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 16, 1999 Mr. William R. McCollum, Jr.
Vice President, Oconee Nuclear Site Duke Energy Corporation P. 0. Box 1439 Seneca, SC 29679
SUBJECT:
OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3, LICENSE RENEWAL SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT
Dear Mr. McCollum:
By a letter dated July, 6, 1998, Duke Energy Corporation (Duke) submitted an application to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for renewal of the Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, operating licenses for an additional 20 years. The application was submitted pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 54. The NRC determined that the application was complete and acceptable for docketing on August 5, 1998. The NRC staff has reviewed the application and has developed the enclosed Safety Evaluation Report Related to the License Renewal of Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, (SER) June 1999. The SER reflects the status of the staffs review based on Duke submittals through May 10, 1999, unless otherwise noted. Issuance of the enclosed SER is an important milestone for both Duke and the staff.
The NRC staff has identified open items in its review that must be resolved before it can make a final determination on the application. These open items, the majority of which were previously discussed with your staff, are summarized in Section 1.4 of the SER. In order to close these items, the staff needs the additional information identified in the SER. The staff has also identified confirmatory items that are summarized in Section 1.5 of the SER.
In accordance with the schedule for completing the review of the Oconee renewal application, Duke is requested to review the enclosed SER, verify its accuracy, and provide comments and responses to the open and confirmatory items by October 15, 1999. The NRC staff plans to review the current content and format of the SER to further improve the SER while incorporating Duke's responses. A complete, revised SER will then be issued by February 12, 2000.
