==Dear Mr. Pacher:== | |||
This letter documents the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's plan to perform a regulatory audit of Exelon Generation Company, LLC's (the licensee) supporting calculations of the Flood Hazard Reevaluation Report (FHRR) submittal related to the Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.1, Flooding for R E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna). This technical audit will be performed consistent with NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Office Instruction LIC-111, "Regulatory Audits," dated December 29, 2008 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML082900195). The audit will be conducted over multiple sessions, as needed, and the NRC staff will develop an audit summary report to document its observations and conclusions within 90 days of the final audit session. | |||
The audit will provide the NRC staff with a better understanding of the Ginna FHRR, which was submitted March 11, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15072A009). Specifically, the audit will provide the NRC with a better understanding of the analyses of the flooding hazards presented in the Ginna FHRR The audit is intended to support completion of the staff's review of the FHRR and the subsequent issuance of a Staff Assessment. | |||
The enclosed audit plan outlines the process that will allow the NRC staff to identify additional information potentially necessary for licensees to supplement their FHRRs, and resolve any potential technical concerns.

Section 50.54(f) "Conditions of license" (hereafter referred to as the "50.54(f) letter"). The request was issued in connection with implementing lessons-learned from the 2011 accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, as documented in The Near-Term Task Force Review of Insights from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Accident. Recommendation 2.1 of that document recommended that the staff issue orders to all licensees to reevaluate seismic and flooding for their sites against current NRC requirements and guidance. Subsequent Staff Requirements Memoranda associated with Commission Papers SECY 11-0124 and SECY-11-0137, instructed the NRC staff to issue requests for information to licensees pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(f). | |||
