NextEra - Seabrook ASR-Related Questions [2016-SST-0548]
Dear Ms. Grinnell,
Ms. Angela Buford forwarded me your email to her dated August 4, 2016, and I am writing to acknowledge its receipt. You also attached a summary of a June 15, 2016, Pre-Submittal Meeting with NextEra Energy Regarding Proposed License Amendment Request on Alkali Silica Reaction dated July 29, 2016 (ML16204A261). You sent Ms. Buford clarifying emails on August 11, 2016. Your emails have been entered into ADAMS and will become public documents (ML16224A220 and ML16228A016) shortly. Once public, your incoming email can be located by searching for accession number (ML#) at the following internet address: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
I am also aware that Mr. Justin Poole sent you an email (ML16221A003) on August 5, 2016, responding to your voicemail questions to him. The questions to Mr. Poole were similar the questions that you posed to Ms. Buford on August 4, 2016. After reviewing all of these emails, I believe that the email responses from Ms. Buford to you dated August 10 and 11, 2016, effectively answered your questions (ML16228A016). Subsequently, Mr. George Thomas also responded to similar questions on August 15, 2016 (attached).
We appreciate your questions. In addition to the above, please note that the June 15, 2016, public meeting was publically noticed (ML16153A279) as a Category 1 meeting where the public was invited to observe and were provided one or more opportunities to communicate with the NRC staff after the business portion of the meeting but before the meeting was adjourned. An NRC staff point of contact was provided in the meeting notice so that interested stakeholders could obtain information to participate in person or by phone. This meeting followed the agenda in the meeting notice and as Ms. Buford indicated in her email, the NRC staff spontaneously asked clarifying questions during NextEras presentation. The June 15 meeting was conducted consistent with the Commission's Policy Statement on "Enhancing Public Participation in NRC Meetings" (67 Federal Register 36920, May 28, 2002) that was referenced on the meeting notice. This policy statement may be found on the NRC website at the following web address: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/commission/policy/67fr36920.html.
Additionally, you may be interested to know that, on Aug. 1, 2016, NextEra submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to revise the licensing basis of the current operating license. NextEra has requested approval of a methodology to analyze seismic Category I concrete structures affected by ML16230A360
2 ASR. This application is currently under NRC staff review and can be access from the following web address: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/ops-experience/concrete-degradation.html#licensing Should you have further questions, please email them to Mr. Justin Poole (NRC staff contact for this meeting) and me. As I have communicated previously (ML16211A075), I have been compiling, into one list, questions received from you in emails to NRC staff since June 2016. I continue to coordinate with staff in the NRCs Region I and Headquarters offices in an effort to provide you with a consolidated response.
We will respond to your list questions when we are able. In addition to responding to you directly, we plan to file this email and our consolidated response to you in ADAMS and make it publically available.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond. I trust this is fully responsive to your questions.
Sincerely, Fred Bower USNRC Region I Branch Chief with Oversight Responsibility for Salem, Hope Creek and Seabrook l 2100 Renaissance Boulevard, STE 100, King of Prussia, PA 19406 l From:DeborahGrinnell[1]

[External_Sender]C10requesttotheNRContheJune15,2016Cat1meetingtosendmetheNRCquestionsto NextEra Hello Angie and Fred, To be clear. Below is the purpose of the June 15 2016 NextEra and NRC Cat 1 meeting in the NRC notice.
"The purpose of this meeting is for NextEra Energy to present to the NRC staff its plan for a license amendment request regarding revising the licensing basis for Alkali-Silica Reaction at the Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1. "
Below is the copy of the NRC letter on page 2. It states what the NRC requested questions to NextEra to answer to the NRC.
. I asked you to see me the list of NRC questions your NRC staff asked NextEra staff to answer. I have requested that you send C-10 the list of NRC questions. We also want the NextEra answers to your questions when you receive them

4 I forwarded your previous email to Fred Bower so that he can consider whether to include a formal response to this question in the letter he is planning to send you responding to all of your other questions, but the short answer is: I dont have knowledge that the NRC had a list of questions. NextEra was presenting, and the NRC participants peppered the applicant with clarifying questions during and after they presented their slides (see the public meetings section on the Seabrook ASR Public Webpage http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/ops-experience/concrete-degradation.html#mtgs.) If you want to be ensured to have the specifics of any public meeting, we encourage you to call in to public meetings - we always give notice and a way to observe - and that ensures that you are privy to the specifics of public meetings that are not transcribed.
I will forward the email below, as you corrected it, to Fred Bower since he has NRC Oversight of Seabrook. Also, I plan to continue to allow your questions to be responded to by the NRC through the proper channel of the Region I Office since they oversee Seabrook, and I provide them engineering support from Headquarters.
Thank you!
Angie
