LIC-17-0067 Page 1 ATTACHMENT 1 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI)
REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM REQUIREMENTS FOR ON-SITE PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE CCAC MF9665)
FORT CALHOUN STATION OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT DOCKET NO. 50-285 By letter dated April28, 2017, Omaha Public Power District (OPPD or the licensee),
requested an exemption from 10 CFR 50.54(w)(1), which concerns on-site property damage insurance. The regulation requires power reactor licensees to obtain insurance having a minimum coverage limit for each reactor station site of either $1.06 billion or whatever amount of insurance is generally available from private sources, whichever is less. The licensee requested an exemption from this requirement to reduce the minimum coverage limit to $50 million for FCS effective on April 7, 2018.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has reviewed the licensee's submittal and determined that the following additional information is required in order to complete the review:
RAI-SBPB -01:
In SECY-96-256, "Changes to Financial Protection Requirements for Permanently Shutdown Nuclear Power Reactors, 10 CFR 50.54(w)(1) and 10 CFR 140.11," dated December 17, 1996 {ADAMS Accession No. ML15062A483), the staff recommended changes to the power reactor insurance regulations that would allow licensees to lower onsite insurance levels to $50 million upon demonstration that the fuel stored in the SFP can be air-cooled. In its Staff Requirements Memorandum to SECY-96-256, dated January 28, 1997 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15062A454), the Commission supported the staff's recommendation that, among other things, would allow permanently shutdown power reactor licensees to reduce commercial onsite property damage insurance coverage to
$50 million when the licensee was able to demonstrate the technical criterion that the spent fuel could be air-cooled if the spent fuel pool was drained of water. The staff has used this technical criterion to grant similar exemptions to other decommissioning reactors (e.g., Kewaunee Power Station (ADAMS Accession No. ML15033A276),
published in the Federal Register on April13, 2015).
The information supporting the requested exemption provided by letter dated April 28, 2017, did not specifically address the technical criterion that the spent fuel could be air-cooled if the spent fuel pool was drained of water. Instead, the discussion addressed the low probability of damage to fuel if the pool were drained of water due to the long time available for actions to provide cooling. Provide an analysis or evaluation that provides reasonable assurance that the fuel could be adequately cooled by air in the event the spent fuel pool were completely drained, either by comparison of input parameters with representative NRC generic analyses or by plant specific analyses. Examples of these approaches for the Kewaunee Power Station are publicly available (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML14029A064 and ML14029A067).
LIC-17-0067 Page 2 OPPD Response OPPD has compiled the requested data comparing the input parameters to the representative NRC generic analyses (NUREG/CR-6451 1997, reference 2) to the data for the Fort Calhoun Station. Since the Fort Calhoun fuel assemblies have a 20% lower power density and a 10%
lower peak burnup combined with low uranium loading there should be a lower heat rate(s) than those cited for NUREG/CR-6451. The !ower decay heat will be sufficient to offset the reduced cell size of the Region 2 racks compared to the benchmark. As a result the FCS spent fuel pool conditions are bounded by the NUREG/CR-6451 benchmark.
