UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION In the Matter of INDIANA AND MICHIGAN ELECTRIC COMPANY (Donald C.
Cook Nuclear,. Plant, Unit
)
Nos.
1 and 2)
)
Docket Nos-50-318'nd 50-316 ORDER FOR MODIFICATION OF-LICENSE Indiana and Michigan Electric Company (the licensee) is the holder of License Nos.
DPR-58 and DPR-74, which authorizes the operation of the Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos.
1 and 2 at steady state reactor power levels not in excess of 3250 and 3391 megawatts thermal (rated power),
respectively.
The facilities consists of two pressurized water reactors located at the licensee's site in Berrien County, Michigan.
On November 4, 1977, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) filed with the Commission a "Petition for Emergency and Remedial Relief."
The P
petition sought action in two areas:
fire protection for e'lectrical
- cables, and environmental qualification of electrical components.
By Memorandum and Order dated April 13, 1978 (7
NRC 400), the Commission ordered the NRC staff to take several related actions.
UCS filed a Petition for Reconsideration on May 2, 1978.
By Memorandum and Order, dated Hay 23, 1980, the Coomission reaffirmed its April 13, 1978 decision regarding the possible shutdown of operating reactors.
However, the Commission's May 23, 1980 decision directed licensees and the NRC staff to undertake certain actions.
With respect to environmental qualification of safety-related electrical equipment, the Conmission determined that the provisions of the two staff documents - the Division of Operating Reactors "Guidelines for Evaluating Environmental gualification of Class lE Electrical Equipment in Operating Reactors" (DOR Guidelines) and NUREG-0588, "Interim Staff Position on Environmental gualification of Safety-Related Electrical Equipment,"
December 1979 "form the requirements which licensees and applicants must meet in order to satisfy those aspects of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A General Design Criterion (GDC-4), which relate to environ-mental qualification of safety-related electrical equipment. "
The Conniission directed, for replacement parts in operating plants, "unless there are sound reasons to the contrary, the 1974 standard in NUREG-0588 will apply."
The Comnission also directed the staff to complete its 1
review of the information sought from licensees by Bulletin 79-0lB and to complete its review of environmental qualification of safety-related electrical equipment in all operating plants, including the publication of Safety Evaluation Reports, by February 1,
1981.
The Commission Bulletin 79-01B was not sent to licensees for plants under review as part of the staff's Systematic Evaluation Program.
'The information sought by Bulletin 79-01B was requested from these licensees by a
series of letters and meetings during the months of February and t'arch, 1980.
imposed a deadline that, "by no later than June 30, 1982 all safety-related electrical equipment in all operating plants shall be qualified to the DOR Guidelines or NUREG-0588."
The Commission requested the staff to, "keep the Cori'ssion and the public apprised of any further findings of incomplete environmental qualification of safety-related electrical equipment, along with corrective actions taken or planned,"
and requested the staff to provide bi-monthly progress reports to the Commi ssi on.
The Coranission further directed the staff to add certain documentation requirements to each license after the specific requirements were approved by the Coneission.
The Comrission also pointed out that the various deadlines imposed in its Order, "do not excuse a licensee from the obligation to modify or replace inadequate equipment promptly."
The information developed during this proceeding emphasizes the importance
.of adequate documentation, the prompt completion of the review of environ-mental qualification of safety-related electrical equipment, and the prompt completion of any plant modification needed to assure conformance with the DOR Guidelines or NUREG-0588.
A significant aspect of this= review is the timely submittal of environmental qualification information by the operating plant licensees to enable the staff to complete its review in accordance with the Coranission's Order.
The staff has a program presently upderway to reevaluate, using the DOR Guidelines and NUREG-0588, the qualifications of safety-related electrical equipment exposed
4-to environments that may exist following postulated accidents.
These accidents are Loss of Coolant Accident and Hain Steam Line Break inside containment, and High Energy Line Breaks inside and outside containment.
In this connection the licensee was requested by ISE Bulletin 79-01B of January 14, 1980 to provide a detailed review of the environmental quali-fication of Class 1E electrical equipment.
This review was to include all equipment required to function under postulated accident conditions, both inside and outside the primary containment, and recognize all conditions specified in the bulletin.
Evidence of qualification together with methods and justification, was requested.
Clarification was provided by supplemental information, briefings, and in some cases, meetings with the licensee.
Timely completion of the staff 's review of environmental qualification of electrical equipment and timely completion of needed modifications by the licensee is required to provide continuing reasonable assurance of public health and safety.
Such completion is dep'endent on the prompt receipt. of a complete response by the licensee to the staff's requests for information.
- However, the licensee's
- response, to date, is incomplete.
Therefore, I have concluded that the public health, safety, and interest require that a firm schedule for the timely submission of all the information previously requested by the staff should be established by Order effective immediately.
's IV.
Accordingly, pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
- amended, and 4
the Coranission's regulations in 10 CFR Parts 2 and 50, IT IS ORDERED THAT EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELYFacility Operating License Nos.
DPR-58 and DPR-74 are hereby amended to add the following provisions:
"Information which fully and completely responds to the staff's request as specified
- above, shall be submitted to the Director, I'ivision of Licensing by the 'licensee not later than November 1,
1980. "
An earlier response is encouraged to facilitate staff review and issuance of the safety evaluation report.
The 'licensee or any person whose interest may be'affected by this Order may request a hearing within 20 days of the date of this Order.
Any request for a hearing will not stay the effective date of this Order.
Any request for a hearing shall be addressed to the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D. C.
20555.
A copy of the request should also be sent to the Executive Legal Director, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Coomission, Washington, D. C.
- 20555, and to Gerald Charnoff, Esquire, Shaw, Pittman, Potts and Trowbridge, 1800 M
- Street, N.W., Washington, D.
C. 20036, attorney for the licensee.
If a hearing is held concerning this Order, the issue to be considered at the hearing shall be whether the licenses should be modified to require submission of information as set forth in Section IY. of the Order.
Operating of the facilities'n terms consistent with this Order is not stayed by the pendency of any proceedings on the Order.
