Subject:

Nuclear Energy Oversight Project Petition RE: Reactor Vessel Embrittlement Date: Thursday, November 5, 2020 1:33:00 PM Mr. Saporito, This e-mail is to inform you that I will be the Petition Manager for your October 31, 2020, petition. I will keep you informed of the status as the evaluation of your petition progresses. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the process and/or the status of the petition review at any time.

In your petition you requested that the NRC immediately shut-down all licensee operating pressurized nuclear reactors until an updated analysis of embrittlement can be completed, including a detailed description of the methodology used and a statement of full compliance with NRC regulations and requirements for embrittlement. The NRC staff has concluded that your petition has screened into the 2.206 process in accordance with Section II.A.2(d) of NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.11, Review Process for 10 CFR 2.206 Petitions (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18296A043), and a Petition Review Board will begin its evaluation.

Following review in accordance with Sections II.B.1 of MD 8.11, the NRC staff has concluded that the reactor vessel embrittlement related concerns expressed in your petition do not warrant immediate action.

As the PRB begins its evaluation I would like to ensure that you are aware that because the 2.206 petition process is a public process, the petition and all the information in it, including your identity, will be made public.

Thank you, Robert Kuntz Senior Project Manager NRC/NRR/DORL/LPL3 (301) 415-3733
