1212 1 JUDGE KARLIN: Okay. And this frequency 2 would consist of -- is not consistent -- is it 3 consistent with what was said in the refueling outage?

4 MR. LUKENS: I haven't heard anything 5 inconsistent, Your Honor.

6 JUDGE KARLIN: Okay.

7 MR. LUKENS: The commitment is --

8 JUDGE KARLIN: Where is that commitment?

9 Where is the commitment in the FSER, it he license 10 condition, in the commitment 37 that says that this 11 will be followed? Can I find it? And maybe the staff 12 can help me.

13 MR. ROWLEY: Commitment 37, it doesn't say 14 anything more specific than that. They will continue 15 to use the SIL 644, the directive on page 3-56 of the 16 SER. That's --

17 JUDGE KARLIN: Well, having said something 18 in the SER doesn't make it legally binding, does it?

19 It's not a commitment.

20 MR. ROWLEY: Well, a commitment --

21 JUDGE KARLIN: It's not a license 22 condition.

23 MR. ROWLEY: There's a license condition 24 in Section 1.7 that says that the commitments are 25 going to be put into the FSER and FSER updated for NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.

6 JUDGE KARLIN: That's not what this is.

7 MR. ROWLEY: No. The other commitment, I 8 think the first and second one on that page talks 9 about them having to update the UFSAR.

10 JUDGE KARLIN: Yes.

11 MR. ROWLEY: That's where these 12 commitments will be -- have to put into the UFSAR.

13 JUDGE KARLIN: Wait a second. So let's go 14 to that. "The first license condition requires the 15 applicant to include UFSAR supplement required by 10 16 CFR 54.21D and the next UFSAR update as required by 17 Sections such and such."

18 Is that what you mean?

19 MR. ROWLEY: Right. These commitments --

6 JUDGE KARLIN: Who knows? Who knows?

7 Does NEC know? Does the Board know?

8 MR. ROWLEY: You have to look at the 9 Commitment 37 as written and go to the aging 10 management program, Section 3 page 3-56 to get the 11 complete story. My oversight, when we put that 12 commitment together to include those words that said 13 they would continue, but it is there in SER.

14 JUDGE KARLIN: The fact that there is 15 something state in the SER does not make it legally 16 binding. It is not a legal commitment. It's not a 17 commitment. It's not a licensed condition. It's a 18 statement. In fact, Judge Ferrar, just recently had 19 a case where the staff specifically took the position 20 because it's in the FSER does not make it binding at 21 all.
