L-2015-216 Attachment Page 1 of X Clarification request: All Flood Causing Mechanisms - Comparison of Reevaluated Flood Hazard with Current Design Basis

Background:

The FHRR for the St Lucie site provides comparisons of the reevaluated flood hazards with the CLB for all flood causing mechanisms for which a CLB had been established in Section 3.0. FHRLR Section 5.14 of the report is a summary of this comparison. The §50.54(f) letter requested a comparison with the current design basis.

Request: The licensee is requested to provide clarification regarding the inconsistencies identified in the FHRR with regard to the comparison of the reevaluated flood hazard to the current design basis and submit a revised hazard comparison consistent with the instructions provided in the §50.54(f) letter.

Response

The current licensing basis (CLB) flooding information used for comparison in Section 5 is consistent with the current design basis (CDB) for flooding at PSL. The comparisons in Section 5.14 are not affected by the change in terminology and remain valid for a comparison of the FHRR to the CDB.
