Title:

Notice of public, pre-submittal meeting with Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc.

(SNC) to discuss a proposed fleet license amendment request (LAR) for Farley, Hatch, and Vogtle.

Date(s) and Time(s):December 11, 2023, 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET

Location: Teleconference

Category: This is an Observation Meeting. This is a meeting in which attendees will have an opportunity to observe the NRC performing its regulatory function or discussing regulatory issues. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions of the NRC staff or make comments about the issues discussed following the business portion of the meeting; however, the NRC is not actively soliciting comments towards regulatory decisions at this meeting.

Purpose:

This is a pre-submittal public meeting to discuss a proposed fleet LAR that would revise Technical Specifications (TSs) 5.3.1 (unit staff qualifications), for all sites to relocate training qualification requirements from TSs to their Quality Assurance Topical Report(QATR)/Nuclear Development Quality Assurance Manual (NDQAM). SNC is also proposing to adopt Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.8, Revision 4, Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants, with a couple of exceptions to allow: (1) personnel who are in a position and qualified for that position under current TS prior to transition to RG 1.8, Revision 4, to be grandfathered, and (2) experience to be substituted towards a baccalaureate degree at a rate of 8 semester credit hours (SCHs) per year of experience up to 80 SCHs. RG 1.8, Revision 4, endorses ANSI/ANS-3.1-2014, Section 4.1.2, and it only allows experience to be substituted at a rate of 6 SCHs per year of experience up to 60 SCHs.
