J. Dixon-Herrity Summary of Meeting:
On March 7, 2019, staff from the NRC conducted a public meeting with representatives from SNC to discuss issues associated with the safety review of licensing actions for SNCs VEGP Units 3 and 4. Specifically, the meeting discussed pre-submittal information for a planned LAR that requested changes to PMS TS surveillance requirements.
The meeting included a closed session to discuss proprietary information.
The staff provided feedback about the draft LAR information provided in advance of the meeting. The staff noted that the draft submittal is unclear about how it would meet Branch Technical Position 7-17. The staff also identified possible clarifications in SNCs draft TS bases.
The staff suggested a way to present the absence of explicit surveillance requirements in several TS Limiting Condition for Operation subsections, while still conveying that the self-test features of the PMS continuously verify the operability of the digital PMS instrumentation, logic, and actuation functions. SNC agreed to consider these clarifications and advised that the submittal was expected to be submitted on March 28, 2019.
At the end of the open portion of the meeting, there was an opportunity for the public to provide comments and ask questions. There were no comments or questions from members of the public.
