SUMMARY

OF THE CLOSED MEETING WITH PSEG NUCLEAR LLC AND WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY TO DISCUSS COBALT-60 PRODUCTION AT SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION (EPID L-2023-LRM-0072)

On September 28, 2023, a closed hybrid meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff, PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG), and Westinghouse Electric Company (Westinghouse) representatives. The meeting was closed due to the proprietary nature of the information discussed.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss with PSEG and Westinghouse on details of cobalt burnable absorber design characteristics and analyses to support fuel loading with Cobalt-60 at the Salem Nuclear Generation Station (Salem) during the Spring 2025 refueling outage. The PSEG representatives started the presentation by providing an overview of scope of Cobalt-60 program and a description of outline and content of future Salem license amendment request.

The presentation continued with Westinghouse representatives providing details on dose consequence evaluation, capsule position stability, seismic loads evaluation, dose contribution from rod ejection, thermal-hydraulic analysis, and spent fuel pool criticality. The presentation concluded with the overview of the Cobalt-60 implementation schedule. After the discussions and closing remarks, the meeting was adjourned.

The meeting was noticed on September 14, 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML23257A185). On September 26, 2023, PSEG and Westinghouse submitted presentation slides to the NRC (ML23271A159). The list of attendees is enclosed.
