SEABROOK'S ANNUAL ASSESSMENT MEETING (AAM) IN HAMPTON, NH [2016-SST-0548]

Dear Ms. Grinnell,

Mr. Mel Gray forwarded me your email dated June 23, 2016, and I am writing to acknowledge its receipt in the NRCs Region I office. Your email has been entered into ADAMS and will become a public document (ML16180A212) shortly. Once public, your incoming email can be located by searching for ML16180A212 at the following internet address: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. As requested, I am forwarding your email to Raymond Lorson, Brian Wittick, Angela Buford, Bill Cook and Paul Cataldo by this email.

We appreciate your questions and the opportunity to respond. We also appreciate that you provided a copy of the document (ML12054A730) and specific reference (page 6, Item 4) to the issue that led to your concern. Specifically, Item 4 documents a question raised by NRC technical staff, in 2011, which reviewed a NextEra-Seabrook evaluation (AR1644074) of a Seabrook Calculation (CE-4). At that time, the staff member interpreted from the reviewed documents that for one element (255), stress in the hoop reinforcement was 61.493 ksi and beyond yield.

Please recognize that the provided document (ML12054A730) was a draft that was never finalized; therefore, time will be required to research and respond to your question. NRC Region I staff will coordinate with staff in the NRCs Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) and we will respond when we are able and likely within 30 - 60 days. In addition to responding to you directly, I plan to file our response to you in ADAMS and make it publically available.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond.

Sincerely, Fred Bower Chief l Projects Branch 3 l Division of Reactor Projects l Region I l U.S. NRC l l 2100 Renaissance Boulevard, STE 100, King of Prussia, PA 19406 l l : (610) 337-5200 l : Fred.Bower@nrc.gov l
