FOIA RESPONSE NUMBER I
NRC 2018-00028411 1
I RE~~~SE D INTERIM It/ I FINAL Below please find the three San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units I, 2, and 3 (SONGS) licensing actions that were submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to revise the SONGS licensing basis to reflect the conditions at the site once all spent fuel has been moved out of the spent fuel pools and into dry storage in the onsite independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), an activity which is currently scheduled to be complete in 2019. The NRC staff has completed its review of two of the requests and is currently working on another; all the associated documentation is referenced in the incoming and/or outgoing letters cited below.
SONGS License Amendment No. 168 (Unit l), No. 236 (Unit 2), and No. 229 (Unit 3) were submitted on December 15, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16355A015), and approved by the NRC in a letter dated November 30, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 1731 OB482). These license amendments revise the existing Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) to reflect the new status of the facility, as well as the reduced scope of potential radiological accidents, once all spent fuel has been moved to dry cask storage within the onsite ISFSI. The changes will replace the SONGS PDEP and associated EAL Bases Manual (referred to as the EAL scheme) with an ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan (IOEP) and associated EAL scheme. The NRC staff determined that the SONGS IOEP and associated EAL changes will continue to provide reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency at the SONGS facility. These changes will not be implemented by SONGS until the NRC receives notification that all spent fuel has been moved into the ISFSI.
SONGS License Amendment No. 169 (Unit 1), No. 237 (Unit 2), and No. 230 (Unit 3) were submitted on December 15, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16355A014), and approved by the NRC in a letter dated January 9, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17345A657). These license amendments will change the operating licenses and technical specifications (TS) to reflect the removal of all spent nuclear fuel from the SONGS, Units 2 and 3, spent fuel pools and its transfer to dry cask storage within an onsite ISFSI. The changes will also mak.e conforming revisions to the SONGS, Unit 1, TS and combine them with the SONGS, Units 2 and 3, TS. These changes will not be implemented by SONGS until the NRC receives notification that all spent fuel has been moved into the ISFSI.
SONGS License Amendment No. 170 (Unit 1), No. 238 (Unit 2), and No. 231 (Unit 3) were submitted on December 19, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML l 6356A305), and are still under review by the NRC, with a forecasted completion date of the second quarter of 2018. These license amendments consist of changes to the SONGS Physical Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, and Safeguards Contingency Plan (the Security Plan) to reflect the status of the facility, as well as the reduced scope of potential design basis threats of radiological sabotage related to the spent fuel once all fuel has been moved to dry cask storage within the onsite ISFSI. These changes will not be implemented by SONGS until the NRC receives notification that all spent fuel has been moved into the ISFSI.
