SUMMARY

OF MARCH 31, 2020, PUBLIC MEETING WITH ENERGY HARBOR NUCLEAR CORP. TO DISCUSS COVID-19 POTENTIAL SUBMITTALS OF REGULATORY ACTIONS On March 31, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a public teleconference with representatives from Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp. (the licensee). The purpose of the meeting was to discuss potential submittals of up to six regulatory actions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic specifically focused on providing relief from specific requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the Operations and Maintenance Code. The meeting notice and agenda, dated March 30, 2020, are available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System at Accession No. ML20090H762. A list of attendees is enclosed.

At the start of the meeting, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reinforced that the meeting was an information gathering dialogue only, and as always, for NRC public meetings, no regulatory decisions would be made. Additionally, the NRC stated that none of the information provided in the meeting was to be taken as a request by the licensee or a decision by the NRC staff. It was stated that actual licensing requests should still be submitted in the normal fashion and coordinated with the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, project manager.

Mr. Phillip Lashley of Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp. led the discussion with the NRC staff regarding identification of regulatory reliefs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Items for discussion were the following:

Potential Relief Requests Hot leg nozzle inspection - request to extend the frequency of Code Case N-770-2, Table 1, Item A-2, that the weld surface must be visually examined each refueling outage (requested by April 12)

Bottom mounted instrumentation - request to extend the examination frequency specified in Code Case N-722-1, Table 1, for Item B15.80, to examine all penetrations every other refuel outage (requested by April 12)

Relief valve testing - request to extend the 10-year interval required by Mandatory Appendix I, 1-1350, and Mandatory Appendix I, 1-1390 (requested by April 8)

Motor-operated valve testing - request to extend the testing frequency required by Code Case OMN-1, including the 6-month allowance allowed by OMN-20 (requested by April 6)

Containment isolation valve water testing - request to extend the 2-year testing frequency specified in ISTC-3630(a) (requested by April 12)

Safety-significant dynamic restraint (snubber) testing - request to extend the testing requirement specified in ISTD 5200 to inspect snubbers each fuel cycle (requested by April 4)

Members of the public were not in attendance; no public meeting feedback forms were received.
