Cheryl A.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555-0001 Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant - Units 1 and 2 Final Supplemental Response to NRC Generic Letter 2004-02 Ladies and Gentlemen:

The purpose of this submittal is to provide the Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) final supplemental response for Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP), Units 1 and 2, to Generic Letter (GL) 2004-02, dated September 13, 2004, Potential Impact of Debris Blockage on Emergency Recirculation during Design Basis Accidents at Pressurized-Water Reactors.

On May 16, 2013, SNC submitted a letter of intent per SECY-12-0093, Closure Options for Generic Safety Issue - 191, Assessment of Debris Accumulation on Pressurized-Water Reactor Sump Performance indicating FNP would pursue Closure Option 2 - Deterministic of the SECY recommendations (refinements to evaluation methods and acceptance criteria) (ML13137A131).

The final outstanding issue for FNP with respect to GL 2004-02 is the in-vessel downstream effects evaluation, which addresses that long-term core cooling (LTCC) can be adequately maintained for all postulated accident scenarios that require sump recirculation.

The in-vessel downstream effects evaluation has been completed for FNP, Units 1 and 2, and is documented in the enclosure to this letter. This satisfies the GSI-191 commitment identified in the May 16, 2013 Closure Option letter.

This letter contains no NRC commitments. If you have any questions, please contact Jamie Coleman at 205.992.6611.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 23rd day of March 2021.

Respectfully submitted, Cheryl Gayheart Director, Regulatory Affairs Southern Nuclear Operating Company

Provide a general description of actions taken or planned, and dates for each. For actions planned beyond December 31, 2007, reference approved extension requests or explain how regulatory requirements will be met as per "Requested Information" Item 2(b). That is provide a general description of and implementation schedule for all corrective actions, including any plant modifications, that you identified while responding to this generic letter. Efforts to implement the identified actions should be initiated no later than the first refueling outage starting after April 1, 2006. All actions should be completed by December 31, 2007. Provide justification for not implementing the identified actions during the first refueling outage starting after April 1, 2006. If all corrective actions will not be completed by December 31, 2007, describe how the regulatory requirements discussed in the Applicable Regulatory Requirements section will be met until the corrective actions are completed.

The objective of the downstream effects, fuel and vessel section is to evaluate the effects that debris carried downstream of the containment sump screen and into the reactor vessel has on core cooling.

x

Show that the in-vessel effects evaluation is consistent with, or bounded by, the industry generic guidance (WCAP-16793), as modified by NRC staff comments on that document. Briefly summarize the application of the methods. Indicate where the WCAP methods were not used or exceptions were taken, and summarize the evaluation of those areas.
