General -- Although the DSEIS discusses the revised GElS and theComment related final rule, FENOC believes that the discussionshould be further clarified to confirm that, as applicable toDavis-Besse, the NRC has considered each of theCategory 1 issues in the revised rule and determined thatthere is no new and significant information and theCategory 1 determinations remain valid for Davis-Besseand/or provided a justification for any differences betweenwhat is in the DSEIS versus what is in the revisedGElS/final rule.2. Abstract iii / FENOC notes that the description of the combinationsLines 9-10 alternative on this page does not match the similardescription on page xix, Line 7.3. Executive xv / FENOC suggests changing "Nuclear Power Plant" toSummary Line 5 "Nuclear Power Station".4. Executive xvi / FENOC recommends changing "is" to "are", since theSummary Line 30 topic is "environmental impacts".5. Executive xix The DSEIS concludes that its "preliminarySummary recommendation is that the adverse environmentalimpacts of license renewal for Davis-Besse are not great1.5 enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers." Consistent with 10 CFR§ 51.95(c)(4) and Section 9.4 of the DSEIS, thisconclusion should be revised to read as follows: "theadverse environmental impacts of license renewal arenot so great that preserving the option of licenserenewal for energy planning decision makers wouldbe unreasonable."6.

Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1 Docket No. 50-346, License Number NPF-3 Review of Draft Plant-Specific Supplement 52 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants Regarding Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (TAC No. ME4613)By letter dated August 27, 2010 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML1 02450565), FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) submitted an application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 54 for renewal of Operating License NPF-3 for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1 (Davis-Besse).
FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEISL-14-146Page 2 of 14DSEISItem DSEIS SINo. Section Page / CommentLine(s)7. 1.4 1-4 / This background sentence on the 2013 rulemaking statesLines 10-13 that the new Category 1 issues set forth in the revisedGElS and Part 51 rules "include geology and soils,Appendix B B-1 / exposure of terrestrial organisms to radionuclides,last exposure of aquatic organisms to radionuclides, humanparagraph health impact from chemicals, and physical occupationalhazards." A similar statement appears in Appendix B.This list does not appear to be comprehensive. The finalrule (78 Fed. Reg. at 37,283) states: "New Category 1issues were added: geology and soils; effects of dredgingon surface water quality; groundwater use and quality;exposure of terrestrial organisms to radionuclides;exposure of aquatic organisms to radionuclides; effects ofdredging on aquatic organisms; impacts of transmissionline right-of-way management on aquatic resources;employment and income; tax revenues; human healthimpacts from chemicals; and physical occupationalhazards." and "Several issues were changed fromCategory 2 to Category 1: Offsite land use, air quality,public services (several issues), and population andhousing."FENOC requests that the DSEIS be revised to add all ofthe new Category 1 issues to this background sentence orto specifically clarify that this sentence is not intended tobe comprehensive or to match the scope of new issuesevaluated in the DSEIS.Relatedly, and as proposed below regarding thesubstantive evaluations in Chapters 3 and 4, FENOCwants to ensure that all new Category 1 issues are fullyand clearly addressed, or a justification be included forthose not otherwise addressed in the DSEIS.
By letter dated February 24, 2014 (ML14050A078 (LTR), ML14050A523 (PKG), ML14050A521 (FRN)), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued the Notice of Availability of Draft Plant-Specific Supplement 52 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants Regarding Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1.FENOC has completed its review of Draft Plant-Specific Supplement 52 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants Regarding Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1. The Enclosure provides FENOC comments on the document.There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter.

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEISL-1 4-146Page 3 of 14Item DSEIS DSEISNo. Section Page / CommentLine(s)8. 1.4 1-4 / This background sentence on the 2013 rulemaking statesLines 13-15 that "Radionuclides released to groundwater, effects onterrestrial resources (non-cooling system impacts),Appendix B B-1 / minority and low-income populations (i.e., environmentallast justice), and cumulative impacts were added as newparagraph Category 2 issues."This list appears to be inconsistent with the final rule (78Fed. Reg. at 37,283), which states: "New Category 2issues were added: Radionuclides released togroundwater, water use conflicts with terrestrialresources, water use conflicts with aquatic resources, andcumulative impacts." and "One uncharacterized issue wasreclassified as Category 2: Environmental justice/minorityand low-income populations."FENOC requests that the DSEIS be revised to include allof the new Category 2 issues to this background sentenceor to specifically clarify that this sentence is not intendedto be comprehensive.9. 1.4 1-4/ This paragraph discusses the effectiveness of the finalLines 16-22 rule with regard to the new or revised Category 1 and 2issues, and explains that the NRC must consider them.FENOC recommends that the NRC add a brief discussionproviding additional details, explaining how the NRCconsidered the Category 1 and 2 issues.10. 1.5 1-6 / Similar to Comment 5, above, the sentence should beLines 6-7 revised to read as follows: "... Commission that theadverse environmental impacts of license renewal arenot so great that preserving the option of licenserenewal for energy planning decision makers wouldbe unreasonable."11. 1.10 1-9/ FENOC suggests changing "Accession Nos." to theLine 5 singular "Accession No.".12.2.02-1 /Lines 2 & 5FENOC suggests removing the extra spaces (25 mi) (40km) (2500 m) in lines 2 & 5. Also, the statement"[a]pproximately 700 ac (300 ha) are marshland..." is theonly location in the DSEIS where 700 ac is used;elsewhere, the statement "approximately 733 ac" is usedmultiple times. Recommend using "approximately 733 ac"throughout the DSEIS.

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEISL-1 4-146Page 4 of 14DSEISItem DSEIS PaeICNo. Section Page / CommentLine(s)13. 2.1 2-1 / FENOC recommends the use of 908 megawatts-electricLine 19, (MWe) instead of 913 MWe in the DSEIS, to be consistentwith the License Renewal Application and Environmental2.1.1 2-6 / Report. The reference cited on page 2-6, Line 11 (i.e.,Line 9 FENOC 201 Oc), is the License Renewal Application,which lists electrical output as "908 MWe". Also, 908 MWeis used later in the DSEIS for the comparison ofAlternatives.14. 2.1.1 2-6 / The sentence states that each primary coolant loopLine 17 contains one reactor coolant pump, but Davis-Besse hastwo reactor coolant pumps per loop. FENOC recommendschanging Line 17 from "... one reactor coolant pump," to"... one or two (depending on the plant design)reactor coolant pumps,".15. 2.1.2.3 2-10 / FENOC suggests revising the 3 cited references (FENOCLines 12, 17 2011) on this page to be consistent with the references& 27 Section 2.4, which lists the references as FENOC 2011 a,2011b, or 2011c.2-11/ Same comment for page 2-11, line 26 (FENOC 2010),Line 26 which has no alpha character (a, b, c or d) following theyear.16. 2.2.1 2-18/ The Magee Marsh Wildlife Area entrance is approximatelyLine 19 6 miles west of the station. Lake Erie is east of the station.FENOC recommends revising Line 19 to read, "TheNavarre Marsh partially surrounds the station to the north,east and southeast."17. 2.2.2.1 2-21 / Regarding the sentence, "Davis-Besse has many sourcesLine 15 of criteria pollutants and HAPs to include the followincq:",FENOC recommends changing the sentence to read:"The Davis-Besse sources of criteria pollutants andHAPS are as follows:" As currently written, the sentencesuggests there are more sources than those listed.18. 2.2.2.1 2-21 / FENOC requests that, at the beginning of the sentence atLine 44 the end of the Line, NRC consider adding "However," infront of "In 1992, Davis-Besse..." to make it clear that theprevious discussion of fires and the chemicals releasedduring transformer fires didn't apply in this case.19. 2.2.4 2-27 / FENOC recommends changing "Augqust 14, 2006" toLine 12 "July 1. 2011" to align with the new permit date and thesuggested update to Appendix C, below.
 
FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEISL-14-146Page 5 of 14Item DSEIS DSEISNo. Section Page I CommentLine(s)20. 2.2.4 2-28 / FENOC recommends deleting "asbestos", because theLine 23 updated permit does not require monitoring for asbestos.21. 2.2.4 2-28 / FENOC recommends changing or deleting the referenceLine 25 source cited (Brown 2010) since there is nocorresponding reference citation in the references list inSection 2.4.22. 2.2.4 2-29 / FENOC recommends changing "2006" to "2011" to alignLine 7 with the new permit date, a previous comment and thesuggested update to Appendix C, below.23. 2.2.4 2-29 / The use of the terms "violate" with respect to NPDESLines 16-18 requirements and "NOV" (Notice of Violation issued by aregulator e.g., OEPA) are confusing when usedinterchangeably in the first two sentences. Thestatements need to be clear that site personnel mayindicate an action, lack of action, or parameter may haveexceeded ("violated") permit requirements, but there wereno formal NOVs issued for the cases described whereFENOC exceeded permit requirements for a period oftime. FENOC recommends changing "NOV" on line 17 to"violations".24. 2.2.4 2-29 / The change has been submitted and approved, and zincLines 26-27 acetate is being used, so FENOC recommends revisingthe last sentence to be past tense.25. 2.2.5 2-31 / FENOC recommends changing the sentence to read,Line 4 "...December 2010 at monitoring wells 30S...".26. 2.2.5 2-33 / FENOC recommends changing "Ce-1 37" to "Cs-1 37" andLines 13-14 "Ce-i134" to "Cs-134".Also, the cited reference (NRC 1991) is not included inthe list of references in Section 2.4, page 2-87.27. 2.2.5 2-33 / FENOC recommends changing "sodium hydroxide" toLine 30 "sodium hypochlorite".28. 2.2.8.3 2-49 / FENOC suggests that the reference to "Table 2.3-8" inLine 13 this line should instead be "Table 2.2-8."29. 2.2.8.4 2-52 / FENOC suggests that the reference to "Section 2.2.6" inLine 6 this line should instead be "Section 2.2.7.2."30. 2.2.9.2 2-59 / FENOC suggests underlining and separating the headingLine 10 "Transportation" in a manner similar to the formatting ofthe previous heading "Education".

FENOC recommends adding a period after"...agricultural purposes" and deleting the remainder ofthe sentence.37. 2.4 2-74 Many of the titles for the Code of Federal Regulationsto 2-76 / citations are incorrect or duplicated. Examples includel0various CFR Part 60, Part 70, 15 CFR Part 930 has multipleLines citations bundled together, 40 CFR Part 80, 40 CFR Part239, etc. FENOC recommends verifying the titles forthese citations in this section and in the other referencessections of the DSEIS.38. 2.4 2-79 FENOC suggests that the title of this document referenceLine 24 should read, "Loggerhead Shrike: First Ever Captured...".39. 2.4 2-82 FENOC recommends deleting the "(2010b)" at the end ofLine 37 the reference to be consistent with the other FENOC 2010citations.40. 2.4 2-83 / This FENOC 2011 citation appears to be out ofLines 15-19 chronological order and should be located between linesand Line 20 11 and 12.On line 20, [FENCOl should read [FENOC].
 
FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEISL-1 4-146Page 7 of 14Item DSEIS DSEISNo. Section Page / CommentLine(s)41. Chapters All Although these substantive chapters evaluating the3 & 4 environmental impacts of refurbishment and operationappear to address most of the new issues in the June 20,2013 final rule that revised Table B-i, it is not clearwhether each individual issue has been addressed.For example, it does not appear to be clearly statedwhether the following Category 1 issues are applicable toDavis-Besse and, if so, how they are addressed: effectsof dredging on surface water quality, groundwater qualitydegradation resulting from water withdrawals, effects ofdredging on aquatic organisms, and impacts oftransmission line ROW management on aquaticresources.Therefore, FENOC recommends that the NRC include adiscussion in this chapter, or elsewhere in the SEIS, toprovide an explanation of how the Category 1 issues inthe new final rule have been addressed, or, in thealternative, to provide a justification for any differencesbetween what is in the DSEIS versus what is in therevised GElS/final rule.42. 3.1 3-3 / There are numerous references in Chapters 3 & 4 toLines 5 & 6 replacement of the steam generators and that theseactivities "will be performed during an extended outagescheduled for the spring of 2014" (e.g., Pg 3-3, lines 17-20). At the time of this review, both steam generatorshave been replaced and the 2014 refueling outage isnearing completion. Consider changing the tense forsteam generator replacement to past tense, althoughFENOC realizes that this change would impact manypages and sections of the DSEIS.43. 3.2.1 3-4 / FENOC is an entity. FENOC recommends changing theLine 33 sentence from "FENOC noted in their ER that..." to"FENOC noted in its ER that...". This issue appears inmultiple locations (at least 8 instances) in the DSEIS (seeChapter 4 for more examples).3-5 / Similarly, FENOC recommends changing the statement inLine 1 Line 1 on the next page from "FENOC's proceduresrequire them to coordinate with the FWS..." to "FENOC'sprocedures require coordination with the FWS..."44. 3.2.8 3-9 / FENOC recommends changing "EnvironmentalLine 7 Procedure" to "Environmental Evaluations procedure" tomatch the title of the procedure.

Alternatively,the SEIS should provide a justification for any differencesbetween what is in the DSEIS versus what is in therevised GElS/final rule.48. Table 4-32 & 4-33 At the bottom of page 4-32, the first project listed under4.15-1 "Energy Projects" is the 'Independent Spent Fuel StorageInstallation on Davis-Besse site; dry spent-fuel storage'.

Abstract iii / FENOC notes that the description of the combinations Lines 9-10 alternative on this page does not match the similar description on page xix, Line 7.3. Executive xv / FENOC suggests changing "Nuclear Power Plant" to Summary Line 5 "Nuclear Power Station".4. Executive xvi / FENOC recommends changing "is" to "are", since the Summary Line 30 topic is "environmental impacts".5. Executive xix The DSEIS concludes that its "preliminary Summary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Davis-Besse are not great 1.5 enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers." Consistent with 10 CFR§ 51.95(c)(4) and Section 9.4 of the DSEIS, this conclusion should be revised to read as follows: "the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers would be unreasonable." 6.

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEISL-1 4-146Page 9 of 14Item DSEIS DSEISNo. Section Page / CommentLine(s)50. 5.3.1 5-3 / In response to NRC requests for additional informationLines (RAIs), the total number of SAMAs was changed from 16723 & 33 to 168, and the number of SAMAs eliminated based onscreening was changed from 152 to 153. (see ADAMS5.3.3 5-6 / Accession No. ML1 11 80A233 [FENOC Letter L-1 1-154Lines 12, 21 dated June 24, 2011], RAI 5.c).This comment also applies to Appendix F, Section F.1F. 1 F-1 / (page F-1). However, since this Appendix is writtenLine 18 chronologically, FENOC recommends adding thefollowing bullet to page F-2 under the list of FENOCF-2 / provided information via letter dated June 24, 2011:Lines 4-23 -identification of a new SAMA candidate (OT-9R),which changed the total number of SAMA candidatesevaluated to 168 instead of the original 167.51. 5.3.1 5-3 / FENOC suggests adding the text in bold/underline: "In theLines 35-36 third step, FENOC estimated the benefits and the costsassociated with each of the 15 candidate SAMAs."52. 5.3.2 5-4 / The text states: "Column totals in Table 5.3-2 may differLine 29 due to round off." The table reference appears to beincorrect. The correct reference is Table 5.3-1.53. 5.3.2 5-5 / FENOC recommends clarifying the following two initiatingTable 5.3-1 event descriptions:From:"Flooding in CCW pump room"F.2.1 F-4 /Table F-1 To:"Flooding in CCW pump room from SW" [or, ServiceWater]and, From:"Flooding in turbine building"To:"Flooding in turbine building from Circ water"Also, consider noting that the % contribution to CDFvalues are slightly different from those reported in FENOCEnvironmental Report Table E.3-1 due to rounding.Comment also applies to Appendix F, Section F.2.1,Table F-I.

A similar statement appears in Appendix B.This list does not appear to be comprehensive.
FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEISL-1 4-146Page 10 of 14Item DSEIS DSEISNo. Section Page / CommentLine(s)54. 5.3.2 5-5 / FENOC recommends that the Population Dose andTable 5.3-2 % Contribution be updated to match those included inFENOC Letter L-12-244 dated July 16, 2012 (see TableF.2.1 F-5I E.3-21).Table F-2 Comment also applies to Appendix F, Section F.2.1,Table F-2.55. 5.3.5 5-7 / Suggest adding the text in bold/underline: "FENOC'sLines 13-14 derivation of each of the associated costs is summarizedin Appendix E of the ER."56. 6.2.1.2 6-5 / The DSEIS states that the various studies it reviewedLines 19-21 show that "the relatively lower order of magnitude of GHGemissions from nuclear power, when compared to fossil-fueled alternatives (especially natural gas), couldpotentially disappear if available uranium ore grades dropsufficiently.. ." (Emphasis added.) This statement isspeculative, apparently based on worst-caseassumptions, and a review of the data presented in Table6.2-2 reveals it to be unsupported. See, e.g., POST(2006) (referenced and described in Table 6.2-2). FENOCrecommends deleting this sentence.57. 6.2.2 6-8 / The DSEIS states that "[flew studies predict that nuclearLines 39-40 fuel cycle emissions will exceed those of fossil fuels withina timeframe that includes the Davis-Besse period ofextended operation." But none of the studies cited inTable 6.2-2 appear to support this thesis-at least basedon the data presented. Therefore, FENOC suggestsrevising this sentence to state: "Nearly all studiespredict that nuclear fuel cycle emissions will remainan order of magnitude or more below those of alltypes of fossil fuels during the Davis-Besse period ofextended operation."58. 6.2.2 6-9 / The DSEIS concludes that "it is likely that GHG emissionsLines 8-9 from renewable energy sources would be lower thanthose associated with Davis-Besse at some point duringthe period of extended operation." This conclusionappears to be unsupported by the data presented in Table6.2-3. FENOC suggests revising this sentence to statethat "most of the relevant studies show that it is likelythat GHG emissions associated with Davis-Besse willremain comparable to or below those from renewableenergy sources throughout the period of extendedoperation."
The final rule (78 Fed. Reg. at 37,283) states: "New Category 1 issues were added: geology and soils; effects of dredging on surface water quality; groundwater use and quality;exposure of terrestrial organisms to radionuclides; exposure of aquatic organisms to radionuclides; effects of dredging on aquatic organisms; impacts of transmission line right-of-way management on aquatic resources; employment and income; tax revenues; human health impacts from chemicals; and physical occupational hazards." and "Several issues were changed from Category 2 to Category 1: Offsite land use, air quality, public services (several issues), and population and housing." FENOC requests that the DSEIS be revised to add all of the new Category 1 issues to this background sentence or to specifically clarify that this sentence is not intended to be comprehensive or to match the scope of new issues evaluated in the DSEIS.Relatedly, and as proposed below regarding the substantive evaluations in Chapters 3 and 4, FENOC wants to ensure that all new Category 1 issues are fully and clearly addressed, or a justification be included for those not otherwise addressed in the DSEIS.

Chapters All Although these substantive chapters evaluating the 3 & 4 environmental impacts of refurbishment and operation appear to address most of the new issues in the June 20, 2013 final rule that revised Table B-i, it is not clear whether each individual issue has been addressed.
For example, it does not appear to be clearly stated whether the following Category 1 issues are applicable to Davis-Besse and, if so, how they are addressed:
effects of dredging on surface water quality, groundwater quality degradation resulting from water withdrawals, effects of dredging on aquatic organisms, and impacts of transmission line ROW management on aquatic resources.
Therefore, FENOC recommends that the NRC include a discussion in this chapter, or elsewhere in the SEIS, to provide an explanation of how the Category 1 issues in the new final rule have been addressed, or, in the alternative, to provide a justification for any differences between what is in the DSEIS versus what is in the revised GElS/final rule.42. 3.1 3-3 / There are numerous references in Chapters 3 & 4 to Lines 5 & 6 replacement of the steam generators and that these activities "will be performed during an extended outage scheduled for the spring of 2014" (e.g., Pg 3-3, lines 17-20). At the time of this review, both steam generators have been replaced and the 2014 refueling outage is nearing completion.
Consider changing the tense for steam generator replacement to past tense, although FENOC realizes that this change would impact many pages and sections of the DSEIS.43. 3.2.1 3-4 / FENOC is an entity. FENOC recommends changing the Line 33 sentence from "FENOC noted in their ER that..." to"FENOC noted in its ER that...".
This issue appears in multiple locations (at least 8 instances) in the DSEIS (see Chapter 4 for more examples).

Alternatively, the SEIS should provide a justification for any differences between what is in the DSEIS versus what is in the revised GElS/final rule.48.

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-1 4-146 Page 10 of 14 Item DSEIS DSEIS No. Section Page / Comment Line(s)54. 5.3.2 5-5 / FENOC recommends that the Population Dose and Table 5.3-2 % Contribution be updated to match those included in FENOC Letter L-12-244 dated July 16, 2012 (see Table F.2.1 F-5I E.3-21).Table F-2 Comment also applies to Appendix F, Section F.2.1, Table F-2.55. 5.3.5 5-7 / Suggest adding the text in bold/underline: "FENOC's Lines 13-14 derivation of each of the associated costs is summarized in Appendix E of the ER." 56. 6.2.1.2 6-5 / The DSEIS states that the various studies it reviewed Lines 19-21 show that "the relatively lower order of magnitude of GHG emissions from nuclear power, when compared to fossil-fueled alternatives (especially natural gas), could potentially disappear if available uranium ore grades drop sufficiently..
." (Emphasis added.) This statement is speculative, apparently based on worst-case assumptions, and a review of the data presented in Table 6.2-2 reveals it to be unsupported.
See, e.g., POST (2006) (referenced and described in Table 6.2-2). FENOC recommends deleting this sentence.57. 6.2.2 6-8 / The DSEIS states that "[flew studies predict that nuclear Lines 39-40 fuel cycle emissions will exceed those of fossil fuels within a timeframe that includes the Davis-Besse period of extended operation." But none of the studies cited in Table 6.2-2 appear to support this thesis-at least based on the data presented.
Therefore, FENOC suggests revising this sentence to state: "Nearly all studies predict that nuclear fuel cycle emissions will remain an order of magnitude or more below those of all types of fossil fuels during the Davis-Besse period of extended operation." 58. 6.2.2 6-9 / The DSEIS concludes that "it is likely that GHG emissions Lines 8-9 from renewable energy sources would be lower than those associated with Davis-Besse at some point during the period of extended operation." This conclusion appears to be unsupported by the data presented in Table 6.2-3. FENOC suggests revising this sentence to state that "most of the relevant studies show that it is likely that GHG emissions associated with Davis-Besse will remain comparable to or below those from renewable energy sources throughout the period of extended operation."

See Table 6.2-2 (page 6-6). FENOC suggests that if the impacts from Davis-Besse are SMALL, then the impacts from natural gas facilities should logically be at least MODERATE, consistent with the Davis-Besse Environmental Report.61. 8.1.5.1 8-12/ FENOC suggests revising the acronym "GGNS" to read Line 17 "Davis-Besse".

SUBJECT:

Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1 Docket No. 50-346, License Number NPF-3 Review of Draft Plant-Specific Supplement 52 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants Regarding Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (TAC No. ME4613)By letter dated August 27, 2010 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML1 02450565), FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) submitted an application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 54 for renewal of Operating License NPF-3 for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1 (Davis-Besse).

Letter L-14-146 FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) Comments Related to Draft Plant-Specific Supplement 52 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants Regarding Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (DSEIS)14 pages follow FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) Comments Related to Draft Plant-Specific Supplement 52 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants Regarding Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (DSEIS)L-14-146 Page 1 of 14 DSEIS Item DSEIS Page / Comment No. Section Lnes Line(s)1. General -- Although the DSEIS discusses the revised GElS and the Comment related final rule, FENOC believes that the discussion should be further clarified to confirm that, as applicable to Davis-Besse, the NRC has considered each of the Category 1 issues in the revised rule and determined that there is no new and significant information and the Category 1 determinations remain valid for Davis-Besse and/or provided a justification for any differences between what is in the DSEIS versus what is in the revised GElS/final rule.2. Abstract iii / FENOC notes that the description of the combinations Lines 9-10 alternative on this page does not match the similar description on page xix, Line 7.3. Executive xv / FENOC suggests changing "Nuclear Power Plant" to Summary Line 5 "Nuclear Power Station".4. Executive xvi / FENOC recommends changing "is" to "are", since the Summary Line 30 topic is "environmental impacts".5. Executive xix The DSEIS concludes that its "preliminary Summary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Davis-Besse are not great 1.5 enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers." Consistent with 10 CFR§ 51.95(c)(4) and Section 9.4 of the DSEIS, this conclusion should be revised to read as follows: "the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers would be unreasonable." 6. Abbreviations xxii FENOC suggests that the word "million" following MMBtu& Acronyms should be in the right-hand column in front of "British thermal unit".

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-14-146 Page 2 of 14 DSEIS Item DSEIS SI No. Section Page / Comment Line(s)7. 1.4 1-4 / This background sentence on the 2013 rulemaking states Lines 10-13 that the new Category 1 issues set forth in the revised GElS and Part 51 rules "include geology and soils, Appendix B B-1 / exposure of terrestrial organisms to radionuclides, last exposure of aquatic organisms to radionuclides, human paragraph health impact from chemicals, and physical occupational hazards." A similar statement appears in Appendix B.This list does not appear to be comprehensive.

The final rule (78 Fed. Reg. at 37,283) states: "New Category 1 issues were added: geology and soils; effects of dredging on surface water quality; groundwater use and quality;exposure of terrestrial organisms to radionuclides; exposure of aquatic organisms to radionuclides; effects of dredging on aquatic organisms; impacts of transmission line right-of-way management on aquatic resources; employment and income; tax revenues; human health impacts from chemicals; and physical occupational hazards." and "Several issues were changed from Category 2 to Category 1: Offsite land use, air quality, public services (several issues), and population and housing." FENOC requests that the DSEIS be revised to add all of the new Category 1 issues to this background sentence or to specifically clarify that this sentence is not intended to be comprehensive or to match the scope of new issues evaluated in the DSEIS.Relatedly, and as proposed below regarding the substantive evaluations in Chapters 3 and 4, FENOC wants to ensure that all new Category 1 issues are fully and clearly addressed, or a justification be included for those not otherwise addressed in the DSEIS.

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-1 4-146 Page 3 of 14 Item DSEIS DSEIS No. Section Page / Comment Line(s)8. 1.4 1-4 / This background sentence on the 2013 rulemaking states Lines 13-15 that "Radionuclides released to groundwater, effects on terrestrial resources (non-cooling system impacts), Appendix B B-1 / minority and low-income populations (i.e., environmental last justice), and cumulative impacts were added as new paragraph Category 2 issues." This list appears to be inconsistent with the final rule (78 Fed. Reg. at 37,283), which states: "New Category 2 issues were added: Radionuclides released to groundwater, water use conflicts with terrestrial resources, water use conflicts with aquatic resources, and cumulative impacts." and "One uncharacterized issue was reclassified as Category 2: Environmental justice/minority and low-income populations." FENOC requests that the DSEIS be revised to include all of the new Category 2 issues to this background sentence or to specifically clarify that this sentence is not intended to be comprehensive.

9. 1.4 1-4/ This paragraph discusses the effectiveness of the final Lines 16-22 rule with regard to the new or revised Category 1 and 2 issues, and explains that the NRC must consider them.FENOC recommends that the NRC add a brief discussion providing additional details, explaining how the NRC considered the Category 1 and 2 issues.10. 1.5 1-6 / Similar to Comment 5, above, the sentence should be Lines 6-7 revised to read as follows: "... Commission that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers would be unreasonable." 11. 1.10 1-9/ FENOC suggests changing "Accession Nos." to the Line 5 singular "Accession No.".12.2.0 2-1 /Lines 2 & 5 FENOC suggests removing the extra spaces (25 mi) (40 km) (2500 m) in lines 2 & 5. Also, the statement"[a]pproximately 700 ac (300 ha) are marshland..." is the only location in the DSEIS where 700 ac is used;elsewhere, the statement "approximately 733 ac" is used multiple times. Recommend using "approximately 733 ac" throughout the DSEIS.

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-1 4-146 Page 4 of 14 DSEIS Item DSEIS PaeIC No. Section Page / Comment Line(s)13. 2.1 2-1 / FENOC recommends the use of 908 megawatts-electric Line 19, (MWe) instead of 913 MWe in the DSEIS, to be consistent with the License Renewal Application and Environmental 2.1.1 2-6 / Report. The reference cited on page 2-6, Line 11 (i.e., Line 9 FENOC 201 Oc), is the License Renewal Application, which lists electrical output as "908 MWe". Also, 908 MWe is used later in the DSEIS for the comparison of Alternatives.

14. 2.1.1 2-6 / The sentence states that each primary coolant loop Line 17 contains one reactor coolant pump, but Davis-Besse has two reactor coolant pumps per loop. FENOC recommends changing Line 17 from "... one reactor coolant pump," to"... one or two (depending on the plant design)reactor coolant pumps,".15. 2.1.2.3 2-10 / FENOC suggests revising the 3 cited references (FENOC Lines 12, 17 2011) on this page to be consistent with the references

& 27 Section 2.4, which lists the references as FENOC 2011 a, 2011b, or 2011c.2-11/ Same comment for page 2-11, line 26 (FENOC 2010), Line 26 which has no alpha character (a, b, c or d) following the year.16. 2.2.1 2-18/ The Magee Marsh Wildlife Area entrance is approximately Line 19 6 miles west of the station. Lake Erie is east of the station.FENOC recommends revising Line 19 to read, "The Navarre Marsh partially surrounds the station to the north, east and southeast." 17. 2.2.2.1 2-21 / Regarding the sentence, "Davis-Besse has many sources Line 15 of criteria pollutants and HAPs to include the followincq:", FENOC recommends changing the sentence to read: "The Davis-Besse sources of criteria pollutants and HAPS are as follows:" As currently written, the sentence suggests there are more sources than those listed.18. 2.2.2.1 2-21 / FENOC requests that, at the beginning of the sentence at Line 44 the end of the Line, NRC consider adding "However," in front of "In 1992, Davis-Besse..." to make it clear that the previous discussion of fires and the chemicals released during transformer fires didn't apply in this case.19. 2.2.4 2-27 / FENOC recommends changing "Augqust 14, 2006" to Line 12 "July 1. 2011" to align with the new permit date and the suggested update to Appendix C, below.

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-14-146 Page 5 of 14 Item DSEIS DSEIS No. Section Page I Comment Line(s)20. 2.2.4 2-28 / FENOC recommends deleting "asbestos", because the Line 23 updated permit does not require monitoring for asbestos.21. 2.2.4 2-28 / FENOC recommends changing or deleting the reference Line 25 source cited (Brown 2010) since there is no corresponding reference citation in the references list in Section 2.4.22. 2.2.4 2-29 / FENOC recommends changing "2006" to "2011" to align Line 7 with the new permit date, a previous comment and the suggested update to Appendix C, below.23. 2.2.4 2-29 / The use of the terms "violate" with respect to NPDES Lines 16-18 requirements and "NOV" (Notice of Violation issued by a regulator e.g., OEPA) are confusing when used interchangeably in the first two sentences.

The statements need to be clear that site personnel may indicate an action, lack of action, or parameter may have exceeded ("violated")

permit requirements, but there were no formal NOVs issued for the cases described where FENOC exceeded permit requirements for a period of time. FENOC recommends changing "NOV" on line 17 to"violations".

24. 2.2.4 2-29 / The change has been submitted and approved, and zinc Lines 26-27 acetate is being used, so FENOC recommends revising the last sentence to be past tense.25. 2.2.5 2-31 / FENOC recommends changing the sentence to read, Line 4 "...December 2010 at monitoring wells 30S...".26. 2.2.5 2-33 / FENOC recommends changing "Ce-1 37" to "Cs-1 37" and Lines 13-14 "Ce-i134" to "Cs-134".Also, the cited reference (NRC 1991) is not included in the list of references in Section 2.4, page 2-87.27. 2.2.5 2-33 / FENOC recommends changing "sodium hydroxide" to Line 30 "sodium hypochlorite".
28. 2.2.8.3 2-49 / FENOC suggests that the reference to "Table 2.3-8" in Line 13 this line should instead be "Table 2.2-8." 29. 2.2.8.4 2-52 / FENOC suggests that the reference to "Section 2.2.6" in Line 6 this line should instead be "Section 2.2.7.2." 30. 2.2.9.2 2-59 / FENOC suggests underlining and separating the heading Line 10 "Transportation" in a manner similar to the formatting of the previous heading "Education".

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-1 4-146 Page 6 of 14 Item DSEIS DSEIS No. Section Page / Comment Line(s)31. 2.2.9.5 2-60 / A space is needed between the first two words in the line.Line 42 32. 2.2.9.5 2-65 / The word "temporary" is missing the letter "t".Line 11 33. 2.2.9.6 2-67 / There is an errant comma following the word "of'.Line 12 34. 2.2.10.1 2-69 / FENOC recommends rewording the following sentence as Lines 21-22 shown: "One documented fluted projectile point is6leeated was discovered at the Peters site in Ottawa County, south of Davis-Besse along the Portage River was die6eered (Prufer and Shane 1973)." 35. 2.2.10.1 2-71 / FENOC recommends changing "north" to "northwest", Line 23 because the Maumee River runs from the southwest to the northwest of Davis-Besse.

36. 2.2.10.2 2-72 / The Magee Marsh is approximately 6 miles west of Davis-Line 40 Besse. FENOC recommends adding a period after"...agricultural purposes" and deleting the remainder of the sentence.37. 2.4 2-74 Many of the titles for the Code of Federal Regulations to 2-76 / citations are incorrect or duplicated.

Examples includel0 various CFR Part 60, Part 70, 15 CFR Part 930 has multiple Lines citations bundled together, 40 CFR Part 80, 40 CFR Part 239, etc. FENOC recommends verifying the titles for these citations in this section and in the other references sections of the DSEIS.38. 2.4 2-79 FENOC suggests that the title of this document reference Line 24 should read, "Loggerhead Shrike: First Ever Captured...".

39. 2.4 2-82 FENOC recommends deleting the "(2010b)" at the end of Line 37 the reference to be consistent with the other FENOC 2010 citations.
40. 2.4 2-83 / This FENOC 2011 citation appears to be out of Lines 15-19 chronological order and should be located between lines and Line 20 11 and 12.On line 20, [FENCOl should read [FENOC].

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-1 4-146 Page 7 of 14 Item DSEIS DSEIS No. Section Page / Comment Line(s)41. Chapters All Although these substantive chapters evaluating the 3 & 4 environmental impacts of refurbishment and operation appear to address most of the new issues in the June 20, 2013 final rule that revised Table B-i, it is not clear whether each individual issue has been addressed.

For example, it does not appear to be clearly stated whether the following Category 1 issues are applicable to Davis-Besse and, if so, how they are addressed:

effects of dredging on surface water quality, groundwater quality degradation resulting from water withdrawals, effects of dredging on aquatic organisms, and impacts of transmission line ROW management on aquatic resources.

Therefore, FENOC recommends that the NRC include a discussion in this chapter, or elsewhere in the SEIS, to provide an explanation of how the Category 1 issues in the new final rule have been addressed, or, in the alternative, to provide a justification for any differences between what is in the DSEIS versus what is in the revised GElS/final rule.42. 3.1 3-3 / There are numerous references in Chapters 3 & 4 to Lines 5 & 6 replacement of the steam generators and that these activities "will be performed during an extended outage scheduled for the spring of 2014" (e.g., Pg 3-3, lines 17-20). At the time of this review, both steam generators have been replaced and the 2014 refueling outage is nearing completion.

Consider changing the tense for steam generator replacement to past tense, although FENOC realizes that this change would impact many pages and sections of the DSEIS.43. 3.2.1 3-4 / FENOC is an entity. FENOC recommends changing the Line 33 sentence from "FENOC noted in their ER that..." to"FENOC noted in its ER that...".

This issue appears in multiple locations (at least 8 instances) in the DSEIS (see Chapter 4 for more examples).

3-5 / Similarly, FENOC recommends changing the statement in Line 1 Line 1 on the next page from "FENOC's procedures require them to coordinate with the FWS..." to "FENOC's procedures require coordination with the FWS..." 44. 3.2.8 3-9 / FENOC recommends changing "Environmental Line 7 Procedure" to "Environmental Evaluations procedure" to match the title of the procedure.

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-1 4-146 Page 8 of 14 Item DSEIS DSEIS No. Section Page I Comment Line(s)45. 4.7.3 4-8 / FENOC recommends deleting one of the uses of the word[No line "vicinity" in the 2nd paragraph, 1 st sentence.numbers]46. 4.9.1 4-13 / The first sentence begins with an errant period.[No line numbers]47. 4.14 4-30 & FENOC requests that the DSEIS be revised to include an 4-31 affirmative statement in this section clarifying that the NRC has reviewed the Category 1 issues in Table B-i, as revised in the June 20, 2013 final rule, and has determined that, to the extent such topics are applicable to Davis-Besse, there is no new and significant information, and therefore the Category 1 designations for these issues remain correct and the small impact designations in Table B-1 remain correct. Alternatively, the SEIS should provide a justification for any differences between what is in the DSEIS versus what is in the revised GElS/final rule.48. Table 4-32 & 4-33 At the bottom of page 4-32, the first project listed under 4.15-1 "Energy Projects" is the 'Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation on Davis-Besse site; dry spent-fuel storage'.

It is not clear why the Status discusses Spent Fuel Pool and transfer pit storage versus the dry fuel storage pad and current dry fuel storage capability.

On page 4-33, the 3 rd PROJECT/ACTION listed (Toledo Refinery Substation Project), the LOCATION description ends abruptly... "Oregon, Ohio, near the intersection of'.49. 4.15.5.2 4-43 / The sentence at the end of the second paragraph in this Line 20 section is not complete and has no period.

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-1 4-146 Page 9 of 14 Item DSEIS DSEIS No. Section Page / Comment Line(s)50. 5.3.1 5-3 / In response to NRC requests for additional information Lines (RAIs), the total number of SAMAs was changed from 167 23 & 33 to 168, and the number of SAMAs eliminated based on screening was changed from 152 to 153. (see ADAMS 5.3.3 5-6 / Accession No. ML1 11 80A233 [FENOC Letter L-1 1-154 Lines 12, 21 dated June 24, 2011], RAI 5.c).This comment also applies to Appendix F, Section F.1 F. 1 F-1 / (page F-1). However, since this Appendix is written Line 18 chronologically, FENOC recommends adding the following bullet to page F-2 under the list of FENOC F-2 / provided information via letter dated June 24, 2011: Lines 4-23 -identification of a new SAMA candidate (OT-9R), which changed the total number of SAMA candidates evaluated to 168 instead of the original 167.51. 5.3.1 5-3 / FENOC suggests adding the text in bold/underline: "In the Lines 35-36 third step, FENOC estimated the benefits and the costs associated with each of the 15 candidate SAMAs." 52. 5.3.2 5-4 / The text states: "Column totals in Table 5.3-2 may differ Line 29 due to round off." The table reference appears to be incorrect.

The correct reference is Table 5.3-1.53. 5.3.2 5-5 / FENOC recommends clarifying the following two initiating Table 5.3-1 event descriptions:

From: "Flooding in CCW pump room" F.2.1 F-4 /Table F-1 To: "Flooding in CCW pump room from SW" [or, Service Water]and, From: "Flooding in turbine building" To: "Flooding in turbine building from Circ water" Also, consider noting that the % contribution to CDF values are slightly different from those reported in FENOC Environmental Report Table E.3-1 due to rounding.Comment also applies to Appendix F, Section F.2.1, Table F-I.

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-1 4-146 Page 10 of 14 Item DSEIS DSEIS No. Section Page / Comment Line(s)54. 5.3.2 5-5 / FENOC recommends that the Population Dose and Table 5.3-2 % Contribution be updated to match those included in FENOC Letter L-12-244 dated July 16, 2012 (see Table F.2.1 F-5I E.3-21).Table F-2 Comment also applies to Appendix F, Section F.2.1, Table F-2.55. 5.3.5 5-7 / Suggest adding the text in bold/underline: "FENOC's Lines 13-14 derivation of each of the associated costs is summarized in Appendix E of the ER." 56. 6.2.1.2 6-5 / The DSEIS states that the various studies it reviewed Lines 19-21 show that "the relatively lower order of magnitude of GHG emissions from nuclear power, when compared to fossil-fueled alternatives (especially natural gas), could potentially disappear if available uranium ore grades drop sufficiently..

." (Emphasis added.) This statement is speculative, apparently based on worst-case assumptions, and a review of the data presented in Table 6.2-2 reveals it to be unsupported.

See, e.g., POST (2006) (referenced and described in Table 6.2-2). FENOC recommends deleting this sentence.57. 6.2.2 6-8 / The DSEIS states that "[flew studies predict that nuclear Lines 39-40 fuel cycle emissions will exceed those of fossil fuels within a timeframe that includes the Davis-Besse period of extended operation." But none of the studies cited in Table 6.2-2 appear to support this thesis-at least based on the data presented.

Therefore, FENOC suggests revising this sentence to state: "Nearly all studies predict that nuclear fuel cycle emissions will remain an order of magnitude or more below those of all types of fossil fuels during the Davis-Besse period of extended operation." 58. 6.2.2 6-9 / The DSEIS concludes that "it is likely that GHG emissions Lines 8-9 from renewable energy sources would be lower than those associated with Davis-Besse at some point during the period of extended operation." This conclusion appears to be unsupported by the data presented in Table 6.2-3. FENOC suggests revising this sentence to state that "most of the relevant studies show that it is likely that GHG emissions associated with Davis-Besse will remain comparable to or below those from renewable energy sources throughout the period of extended operation."

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-14-146 Page 11 of 14 Item DSEIS OSEIS No. Section Page / Comment Line(s)59. 8.0 8-3 / FENOC recommends changing "... FENOC Service Line 30 Company's..." to "... FirstEnergy Service Company's...." 60. 8.1 8-6 / The conclusion that the air quality impacts of new natural Table 8.1-1 gas combined cycle generation would be SMALL to MODERATE appears inappropriate, in that it blurs the significant difference between emissions from Davis-Besse and natural gas sources. See Table 6.2-2 (page 6-6). FENOC suggests that if the impacts from Davis-Besse are SMALL, then the impacts from natural gas facilities should logically be at least MODERATE, consistent with the Davis-Besse Environmental Report.61. 8.1.5.1 8-12/ FENOC suggests revising the acronym "GGNS" to read Line 17 "Davis-Besse".

62. 11.0 11-4 FENOC recommends changing the name "Nesser" to Appendix A A-4 & A-1 73 "Nusser" in 3 locations.

Nusser is the correct spelling according to the signature on the email included as page A-173.63. Appendix C C-5 / Storage of spent nuclear fuel & high-level radioactive Table C-2 waste: STATUS -The word Expired should read "Expires".

64. Appendix C C-5 / Permit to operate an air containment source: Table C-2 STATUS -should read as follows: Operation of station auxiliary boiler Facility ID#: 0362000091 Permit#: P0110436 Issued: 02/28/2013 Expires: 02/28/2023

72. Appendix E E-8 The following FENOC letter is missing from the list of correspondence:

Letter L-12-244 from John C. Dominy, Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1. Docket No. 50-346, License Number NPF-3, Correction of Errors in the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. Unit No.1, License Renewal Application (TAC No. ME4613) Environmental Report Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives Analysis, and License Renewal Application Amendment No. 29 (dated July 16, 2012)FENOC notes that this same correspondence is listed in Appendix F, Section F.8 (References), page F-36, Lines 34-38 (FENOC 2012a). However, the ML number listed in Appendix F is a duplicate of the ML number for FENOC letter dated June 24, 2011. Also, FENOC was not able to find the document in ADAMS using various search terms (may not be available to the public).73. F.2.2 F-12 / FENOC suggests inserting the word "are" as follows: "The Line 7 Level 1 core damage sequences are grouped into core damage bins according to similarities in their impact on containment response."

FENOC Comments Related to Draft DSEIS L-14-146 Page 14 of 14 DSEIS Item DSEIS SI No. Section Page / Comment Line(s)74. F.2.2 F-14 / FENOC suggests editing the quoted sentence as follows: Lines 14-17 "Data from 2006 through 2008 was were considered, but the 2006 data was were chosen because it-was they were the most complete data set. Data from year 2008 was-were considered unusable as it they contained too many missing long data-sequences of unusable data." 75. F.2.2 F-14 / FENOC suggests adding to the following sentence the Lines 39-40 language in bold/underline: "In response to an NRC staff RAI, FENOC revised the Level 3 PRA to include that portion of the Canadian population located within the 50-mi radius SAMA analysis region (FENOC 2011)." 76. F.3.1 F-17 / Same issue as Comment 49 [5.3.1]. Specifically, the total Line 34 number of SAMAs was changed from 167 to 168, and the number of SAMAs eliminated based on screening was F.7 F-35 / changed from 152 to 153.Lines However, since Appendix F is written chronologically, 18 & 19 FENOC recommends adding the following sentence after line 6 on page F-18 and after line 19 on page F-35: In response to NRC RAIs, FENOC's initial list of 167 SAMA candidates was increased to 168, of which 153 were eliminated based on screening.

77. F.3.2 F-21 / FENOC suggests editing the quoted sentence as follows: Line 30 "In response to the RAIs, FENOC addressed the suggested lower cost alternatives and determined that they were eitheF-already implemented at Davis-Besse (b), not feasible (c), or not cost-beneficial (a, d, e, and f)(FENOC 2011)." 78. F.5 F-27 / The word "applicant's" should be "applicants'." Line 27
