SUMMARY

OF MAY 26, 2020, TELECONFERENCE WITH ENERGY HARBOR NUCLEAR CORP. TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST RELATED TO STEAM GENERATOR TUBE SLEEVE INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE (EPID L-2020-LRM-0048)

On May 26, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a partially closed public teleconference with representatives from Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp. (Energy Harbor or the licensee) and its contractor, Westinghouse Electric (Westinghouse). The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a potential license amendment request related to the maintenance and inspection of the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2, steam generator sleeves. The meeting notice and agenda, dated May 6, 2020, are available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML20143A067. The licensees presentations available to the public are available at ADAMS Accession Nos. ML20143A035 and ML20143A042. The second half of the meeting was closed due to the proprietary nature of the presentation material. A list of attendees is enclosed.

At the start of the meeting, the NRC staff reinforced that this was an opportunity to discuss, in a public forum, details of a potential license amendment request and that no regulatory decisions would be made. Additionally, the NRC staff 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. The staff stated that the actual licensing request should be submitted in the normal process and would be handled in the normal review process. The licensee indicated that the probable submittal would occur before June 30, 2020, with a requested completion date of 1 year after submittal.

Mr. Phillip Lashley of Energy Harbor opened the discussion with the NRC staff regarding the potential license amendment and turned the presentation over to Westinghouse to present background information and the history of the Beaver Valley, Unit 2, steam generator sleeves.

During the open portion of the meeting, both the NRC and general public engaged with licensee and contractor staff regarding the proposed changes in technical specifications related to steam generator sleeve maintenance and inspection for the remainder of the renewed facility operating license. During the closed portion of the public meeting, Westinghouse provided additional proprietary details about the sleeve materials and testing program. The questions and comments raised by the NRC staff will be considered by the licensee and contractor before submission to the NRC for review.

Five members of the public were in attendance (two of those representing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania); no public meeting feedback forms were received. The questions and comments received will be considered by the licensee and contractor before submission to the NRC for review.

Please direct any inquiries to me at 301-415-2328 or Jennifer.Tobin@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
