SUMMARY
OF THE 2025 ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT RELATED TO THE REVIEW OF THE LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT (EPID NUMBER: L-2025-SLE-0000) (DOCKET NUMBER: 50-261)
Dear Laura Basta:
A review team consisting of staff from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) participated in a virtual audit during the week of July 14, 2025, for H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2, as part of the license renewal application environmental review. The goal of the audit was to gather information to ensure that the environmental requirements for license renewal, as codified in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions, were met. A letter dated June 30, 2025 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS]
Accession No. ML25177A046), was sent containing an audit plan.
An entrance meeting was held on July 15, 2025, to introduce participants and discuss audit logistics. During the remainder of the audit, the NRC staff, supported by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) staff, participated in smaller groups (breakout sessions) with Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke) and Enercon Services, Inc. (Enercon) representatives to address the audit needs identified in the audit plan. Enclosure 1 to this letter provides a list of representatives from the NRC, PNNL, Duke, and Enercon who participated in the audit.
At the conclusion of the audit, the NRC staff summarized the status of the review with PNNL, Duke, and Enercon representatives during the exit meeting held on July 31, 2025. Many of the NRCs questions identified in the audit plan or during the audit were answered through the conduct of the audit. Those that were answered but would be needed to be used in the supplemental environmental impact statement could be submitted (a) as a supplement to the application, (b) as responses to requests for additional information (RAIs), or (c) as responses to requests for confirmation of information (RCIs). to this letter contains the staffs RAIs and RCIs. We are requesting Dukes response to our requests within 30 days of the receipt of this letter.
