June 29, 2018 Post Fukushima Flooding and Seismic Hazard Reevaluation Status Flooding Hazard Reevaluation The licensees for all operating power reactor sites have completed their hazard reevaluation and have submitted their Flood Hazard Reevaluation Reports (FHRR).
The NRC used a graded approach to address flood hazard results that exceed the current design basis.
The NRC expects that the licensees for 49* operating reactor sites will submit a focused evaluation (FE) to address local intense precipitation and to leverage available physical margin. The licensees for 40 operating reactor sites have provided their focused evaluations.
The NRC expects that the licensees for five operating power reactor sites will submit integrated assessments (IA) to address the reevaluated flooding hazard impact on their sites. The licensee for two operating power reactor sites have submitted an integrated assessment. The remaining IAs are scheduled to be completed by December 2018.
Seismic Hazard Reevaluation The licensees for all operating power reactor sites have completed their hazard reevaluation and have submitted their Seismic Hazard and Screening Reports (SHSR).
The NRC used a graded approach to address seismic hazard results that exceed the current design basis.
The licensees for 34 operating power reactor sites completed the expedited seismic evaluation process (ESEP) screening and evaluation.
All of the expected ESEP reports have been submitted.
The NRC expects that the licensees for 18 operating power reactor sites will complete a seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA). The licensees for 5 sites have submitted their SPRA.
The NRC requested that the licensees for 49 operating power reactor sites submit one or more limited scope evaluations (LSE). All of the limited scope evaluations have been submitted.
Mitigation Strategies Assessments The NRC requested licensees for all operating power reactor sits to perform both a seismic and flooding mitigation strategies assessment (MSA) to ensure the reevaluated hazard information was addressed by the mitigation strategies for their sites.
The licensees for 59 out of 60* operating power reactor sites have submitted their Flood Hazard MSA.
The licensees for 48 out of 60* operating power reactor sites have submitted their Seismic Hazard MSA. The remaining seismic MSAs depend on insights to be developed as part of the SPRA process.
- The NRC granted Exelons and Entergy's requests to defer the submittal date for remaining seismic and flooding reevaluation activities for Oyster Creek and Pilgrim and the flooding MSA submittal for Pilgrim to a date beyond the planned permanent shutdown in 2018 and 2019.
A table with the status of the hazard reevaluations is provided on the following pages. Site names that are highlighted in dark green have completed all post-Fukushima activities and the NRC has issued a completion letter.
