INITIAL RECOMMENDATIONS: 2.206 Petition regarding Pilgrim current licensing basis for flooding (OEDO-15-00479)(CAC NO. MF6460)
Expires:
Friday, January 15, 2016 12:00 AM Mr. Lochbaum, In accordance with MD 8.11, Review Process for 10 CFR 2.206 petitions, I am writing to let you know the initial recommendations of the Petition Review Board (PRB) on your petition dated June 24, 2015 regarding the current licensing basis on the flooding for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS).
Your petition request that NRC take enforcement action to require that the current licensing basis for PNPS include flooding caused by local intense precipitation/ probable maximum precipitation events meets the acceptance criteria of MD 8.11. The issues raised in the petition are subject of NRC staff review and evaluation and therefore the PRBs initial recommendation is to accept and hold the petition until a resolution is achieved. We expect the resolution of the issue by December 2016.
The PRB also recommends to reject two supplementary issues raised by the petitioners in the teleconference on Aug 5, 2015: (1) the issue of submerged safety-related cables which was resolved in a Directors Decision (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML13255A191) and (2) the petitioners request for the updated site plan which is in the scope of the Freedom of Information Act process and not in the 2.206 process.
Please let me know if you would like another opportunity to address the PRB and if so when.
I will be out of the office from Nov 18 till December 4, 2015. Diane Render who is copied on this e-mail will be my backup to answer any questions during this time.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely, Booma Booma Venkataraman, P.E.

[External_Sender] RE: 2.206 Petition regarding Pilgrim current licensing basis for flooding (OEDO-15-00479)(TAC NO. MF6460) - 60 DAY STATUS
Dear Ms. Venkataraman:
2 Thanks for the status.
On a related note, I'm in discussions with my co-petitioners regarding whether to withdraw the petition in light of the licensee's recent announcement of plans to permanently close Pilgrim by June 2019.
If we reach this determination, I'll relay it to you ASAP.
