ACE - Questions from the Limerick AAM on May, 21, 2015 - [EDATS R1-2015-0195]
Dear Dr. Cuthbert (ACE),
On May 21, 2015, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted a public open house at the Limerick Township Municipal Building in Limerick, PA. The NRC conducted the Annual Assessment Meeting (AAM) open house to discuss its assessment of the safety performance at Limerick Generating Station (LGS) for 2014. A summary of this meeting can be located in ADAMS using accession number ML15147A615. Publically available ADAMS documents can be located by entering accession number (ML) into the search box in the upper right corner of our homepage at www.nrc.gov.
At this meeting, the Deputy Director of the Division of Reactor Projects in the Region I office of the NRC, Mr. Michael Scott, accepted the following three questions from you.
- 1. What is the highest burnup to which Limerick Generating Station (LGS) licensed to fuel and when did they get that level authorized?
- 2. Has spent fuel from other plants been shipped to LGS?
- 3. Where does low level radioactive waste from LGS go?
Mr. Scott has requested that I respond to ACE with answers to these questions.
Regarding the third question, I note in an email (ML14118A047) dated April 24, 2014, Region I has previously fully responded to this ACE question. I trust this is sufficiently responsive.
I have previously responded to several inquiries from ACE regarding high burnup nuclear fuel.
Regarding the above questions numbered 1 and 2, I have determined that both involve licensing information and require coordination with staff in the NRCs Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) in our Rockville, Maryland offices to develop a response. After coordination with NRRs project manager for LGS, we will respond to these two questions when we are able and likely within 30 - 60 days.
Sincerely,
Fred Bower USNRC Region I Branch Chief with Oversight Responsibility for Limerick, Peach Bottom and Susquehanna l 2100 Renaissance Boulevard, STE 100, King of Prussia, PA 19406 l l: (610) 337-5200 l
