Attachments: Options for Revising Oconee Flood CAL Due Dates.docx

Len, Attached are the options and timelines for the resolution of the flood issue related to Fukushima. One change from what was provided earlier is the date to start the timeline on Option 1 (follow current CAL timeline) was revised to 9/14/2012 (originally 8/31) to coincide with NRRs plan to issue their response letter to Oconee (answering the 2 questions posed by the licensee in the last RAI response).

.............. j Options for Revising Oconee Flood CAL Due Dates Discussion:

The flood CAL was issued on June 22, 2010. The CAL initially directed the licensee to submit a list of all modifications necessary to mitigate the Jocassee failure by November 30, 2010. This was modified and the licensee submitted the list on April 30, 2011. The CAL also directed the licensee to complete the modifications by November 30, 2011. This was modified to 30 months plus the regulatory review period once the RAIs were resolved. The modifications would be complete by February 28, 2016, assuming the RAIs are resolved on 8/30/2012, a 12 month regulatory review period (RRP), and 30 months to complete the modifications. The original CAL items and current due dates are listed in Table 1.

The licensee proposes to make the resolution of the CAL items parallel the resolution of Fukishima initiatives. The staff agrees to this in general. The licensee's proposed modifications are listed in Table 2. The licensee proposes to complete the updated flooding hazard re-evaluation report by March 12, 2013 (per Category 1 timeline) which is reasonable. However, they also propose completing the integrated assessment report by March 2015 and submitting a list of proposed modifications and an implementation schedule by August 2015. Initial staff response is that these are not reasonable for resolution of the flooding due to failure of the Jocassee Dam. For dam failure these are essentially complete and may just need adjustment if the flood level changes due to the flooding hazard re-evaluation. These timelines would be reasonable for newly identified issues such as PMP flooding on-site. The modifications to mitigate flooding from a Jocassee Dam failure would not be complete until February 2019 assuming August 2015 as the start date for a 12 month RRP and 30 months construction schedule.

It would be reasonable to modify the due date for completion of the modifications to relate it to completion of the flood hazard re-evaluation and maybe add a couple of months to allow revising proposed modifications if onsite flood levels change. The CAL currently says 30 months + regulatory review period (RRP) after resolution of all RAI's for CAL 2-10-003. Maybe revise to allow 3 months after completion of the hazard evaluation (due June 12, 2013) and then 30 months + RRP starting June 12, 2013. The modifications to mitigate flooding from a Jocassee Dam failure would be complete around December 2016. The NRC proposed CAL modifications are listed in Table 3.

Figure 1 provides a graphical comparison of the current CAL, the licensee's proposed dates, and the staff's proposed dates.

We will need to discuss with OCO prior to modifying the CAL (either them or us).

Summary:

Current CAL timeline would result in Jocassee flood modifications being complete around February 2016.

Oconee proposed changes would result in Jocassee flood modifications being complete around February 2019.

NRC proposed changes would result in Jocassee flood modifications being complete around December 2016.
