SUBJECT:

FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT NO.1 - CLOSEOUT OF UNRESOLVED SAFETY ISSUE A-46 (TAC NO. M69447)

Dear Mr. Gambhir:

The staff has reviewed Omaha Public Power District's (OPPD) response to Generic Letter (GL) 87-02 which established the USl A-46 program for the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No.1. The staff concludes that your USI A-46 Implementation program has met the purpose and intent of the criteria in the Generic Implementation Procedure, Revision 2 (GIP-2) and the staff's Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report No. 2 (SSER No. 2) for the resolution of USI A-46. The staff has determined that your corrective actions and completed physical modifications for resolution of outliers resulted in safety enhancements, in certain aspects, that are beyond the originallicensing basis, and as a result, provide sufficient basis to close the USl A-46 review at the facility. The staff concludes that your implementation program to resolve USI A-46 at the facility has adequately addressed the purpose of the 10 CFP 50.54(f) request. Your activities related to the USl A-46 implementation are subject to NRC inspection.
