Q 0" 0 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 January 17, 2014 Mr. Richard L. Anderson Vice President NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Energy Center 3277 DAEC Road Palo, lA 52324-9785
SUBJECT:
CORRECTION LETTER- DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER REGARDING INTERIM STAFF EVALUATION AND REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR RELIABLE SPENT FUEL POOL INSTRUMENTATION (ORDER NUMBER EA-12-051) (TAC NO. MF1001)
Dear Mr. Anderson:
On November 26, 2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)
- Accession No. ML13323B443), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an interim staff evaluation and request for additional information (RAI) regarding the overall integrated plan for implementation of Order EA-12-051, Reliable Spent Fuel Instrumentation for Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC).
Following the issuance of the evaluation, the NRC staff was informed by NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC (the licensee) that the numbering sequence for the RAis was not correct. RAI ,
numbers 13 and 14 were missing as a result of the numbering sequence going from RAI number 12 to RAI number 15. RAI numbers 15 and 16 have* been renumbered as RAI numbers 13 and 14 respectively.
Enclosed, please the replacement for page number 22 for the evaluation.
The NRC staff determined that this error was entirely administrative in nature, and was inadvertently introduced, and it did not have any effect on the overall evaluation. We regret any inconvenience that this may have caused.
Q 0 0 0 R. L. Anderson Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at Mahesh.Chawla@ nrc.qov or 301-415-8371.
Sincerely, Mahesh Chawla, Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch 111-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-331

- Instrument Reliability NEI-12-02 states, in part, that A spent fuel pool level instrument channel is considered reliable when the instrument channel satisfies the design elements listed in Section 3 [Instrument Design Features] of this guidance and the plant operator has fully implemented the programmatic features listed in Section 4 [Program Features].
In its OIP, the licensee stated that the reliability of the primary and backup instrument channels will be assured by conformance with the guidelines of NRC JLD-ISG-2012-03 and NEI 12-02.
Upon acceptable resolution of the RAis noted above, the NRC staff will be able to make a conclusion regarding the reliability of the SFP instrumentation.
4.0 CONCLUSION
The NRC staff is unable to complete its evaluation regarding the acceptability of the licensee's plans for implementing the requirements of Order EA 12 051 due to the need for additional information as described above. The NRC staff will issue an evaluation with its conclusion after the licensee has provided the requested information.
