Duke Common EOF Relocation - Request for Addition Information By application dated December 14, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML21348A003), Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC and Duke Energy Progress, LLC (collectively referred to as Duke Energy), submitted a request to relocate the existing Duke Energy Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for review and prior approval pursuant to Section 50.54(q) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). Specifically, Duke Energy is proposing to relocate its consolidated EOF to 9700 David Taylor Drive, Charlotte, NC. The new location is approximately nine air miles from the current EOF. Duke does not propose to alter the facility functions, capabilities, and staffing as currently described in the Duke Energy Common Emergency Plan and Annexes.

The NRC staff is reviewing your submittal and has determined that additional information is required to complete the review. The proposed questions below were discussed with your team on April 25, 2022. Your team confirmed that the request for additional information (RAI) was understood, it does not contain sensitive information, and it can be response by May 25, 2022.

The NRC staff considers that timely responses to RAIs help ensure sufficient time is available for staff review and contribute toward the NRCs goal of efficient and effective use of staff resources. Please note that if you do not respond to this request by the agreed-upon date or provide an acceptable alternate date, we may deny your request for amendment under the provisions of 10 CFR 2.108. If circumstances result in the need to revise the agreed upon response date, please contact me.

RAI-1

Requirement:

• 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8) requires that adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained.

• Guidance in NUREG-0696, Section 4.2, Location, Structure, and Habitability, provides guidance stating that for an EOF located at or beyond 10 miles of the sites Technical Support Center (TSC), the structure be well engineered for design life of plant, and specifically states:

As an example of "well engineered," refer to the Uniform Building Code.

In addition, it must be able to withstand adverse conditions of high winds (other than tornadoes) and floods. Winds and floods with a 100-yr [year]

recurrence frequency are acceptable for a design basis.

Issue:

Enclosure 1, Evaluation of the Proposed Change , Section 3.2, Location, Structure, and Habitability states:

The David Taylor building was constructed in 1991 and is capable of withstanding wind loads and live loads equal to or greater than those specified in the 1978 North Carolina State Building Code (most recent at time of construction).

Request:

Please specify if the structure of the relocated Duke Common EOF can withstand adverse conditions of high winds (other than tornadoes) and floods with a 100-year recurrence frequency.

RAI-2

Requirement:

• 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) requires periodic exercises are (will be) conducted to evaluate major portions of emergency response capabilities, periodic drills are (will be) conducted to develop and maintain key skills, and deficiencies identified as a result of exercises or drills are (will be) corrected.

Issue: , Evaluation of the Proposed Change, Section 3.10, Conclusion for New EOF Location states, in part:

In addition, Duke Energy is planning a two-site simultaneous demonstration drill, currently scheduled for April 27, 2022, using CNS and HNP. The drill at each site will involve activation of the emergency response organization and facilities, offsite notifications, dose assessment, protective action recommendations, and field monitoring team coordination.

Request:

Please identify the proposed date(s) and provide further details on the scope/extent of play for proposed drill to test the functionality of the relocated Duke Common EOF, involving simultaneous events at two sites, with at least one of which will be a multi-unit event.

RAI-3

Requirement:

• 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8) requires that adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained.

• Guidance in NUREG-0696, Section 4.6, Communications, provides guidance stating that the EOF voice communications equipment shall include:

Hotline telephone (located in the NRC office space) on the NRC emergency notification system (ENS) to the NRC Operations Center; Dedicated telephone (located in the NRC office space) on the NRC health physics network (HPN);

Issue: , Evaluation of the Proposed Change, Section 3.6, communications, provide a list of voice communication systems but does not specify is a dedicated telephones for the ENS and HPN will be located in the NRC office space.

However, Section 3.6, Communications, the April 29, 2016 application for consolidation of the current EOF stated, in part, Also, telephones for the NRC Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS),

the Emergency Notification System (ENS), and Health Physics Network (HPN),

are available in the NRC work area.

Request:

Please specify what dedicated telephones will be located in the NRC office space of the relocated Duke Common EOF.
