SUBJECT: NRC RESPONSE TO LETTER OF INTENT TO ADOPT TITLE 10 OF THE
CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS, PART 50, SECTION 50.48(c) FOR
MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2
Dear Mr. Peterson:
I am writing in response to your letter dated April 18, 2006 (Agencywide Documents Access
and Management System Accession No. ML061150375), in which you informed the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) that Duke Power Company LLC intends to adopt National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 805, NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for
Fire Protection for Light-Water Reactor Electric Generation Plants, 2001 edition, pursuant to
Section 50.48(c) of Part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.48(c)), at
the McGuire Nuclear Station (MNS), Units 1 and 2.
In your April 18, 2006 letter, you informed us that the transition to the performance-based
standard for fire protection at MNS, Units 1 and 2 has commenced. In addition, you have
identified a need for extending the previously estimated transition time of 2 years as stated in
the June 8, 2005, letter to the NRC (ML050670305) to 3 years. You expect to be completed
with the submission of the McGuire License Amendment prior to December 31, 2008.
On April 18, 2006, the NRC published in the Federal Register (71 FR 19905) a revision to its
enforcement policy extending the NFPA 805 transition discretion period from 24 to 36 months.
Therefore, your request for the extended discretion period for MNS, Units 1 and 2 is granted.
The NRC considers the discretion period for MNS, Units 1 and 2 to begin on April 18, 2006 and
will expire on April 18, 2009. The enforcement discretion period will continue beyond April 18,
2009, while the NRC staff is reviewing your request for the license amendment.
Please note that in order to receive enforcement discretion, you must: (a) evaluate the risk
significance of all noncompliances to assure that they do not constitute Red (or a Severity
Level I) findings under the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process, (b) enter them into your
corrective action program, and (c) implement and maintain appropriate compensatory
measures until the NRC staff approves your license amendment request and issues its safety
evaluation. You should refer to NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2005-07, Compensatory
Measures to Satisfy the Fire Protection Program Requirements, for additional NRC staff
guidance on appropriate compensatory measures.
G. R. Peterson -2-
In response to requests made by a number of licensees, which are not pilots for NFPA 805, for
meetings with the NRC staff to discuss their transition issues, the NRC staff plans to hold
periodic workshops on NFPA 805 implementation issues at the regional offices or onsite at
units transitioning to the new standard. The staff will inform the nuclear plant licensees of the
schedules of these workshops.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact John F. Stang, Project
Manager, at (301) 415-1345 or JFS2@nrc.gov.
