Extension Request Regarding the Three Month Response to NRC Generic Letter 2008-01, "Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems" The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Generic Letter (GL) 2008-01, "Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems", dated January 11, 2008, to request that each licensee evaluate the licensing basis, design, testing, and corrective action programs for the Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS), Decay Heat Removal System, and Containment Spray System, to ensure that gas accumulation is maintained less than the amount that challenges operability of these systems, and that appropriate action is taken when conditions adverse to quality are identified.
The NRC requested each licensee to submit a written response in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(0 within 9 months of the date of the GL. In addition, the NRC requested that if a licensee cannot meet the requested response date, the licensee "shall provide a response within 3 months of the date of this GL". In the 3 month response, the licensee was requested to describe the alternative course of action that it proposes to take, including the basis for the acceptability of the proposed alternative course of action.
On April 3, 2008, by telephone call with the NRC's Division of Safety Systems, Florida Power &
Light requested a one month extension for the 3 month response. The purpose of this letter is to confirm the agreement reached on the call for the one month extension. Accordingly, FPL is now planning to submit the 3 month response on or before May 11, 2008. This request is in keeping with conversations held between the industry and NRC to ensure a sound understanding of the alternative courses of actions, including those associated with the performance of detailed piping walk downs.
