On September 21-23, 2015, a review team consisting of staff from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and contractors from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory participated in a site audit in San Luis Obispo, California, related to the severe accidents mitigation alternatives (SAMA) environmental review of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP), Units 1 and 2, license renewal application. The primary goal of the site visit was to review documentation and gather information to ensure that the environmental requirements for license renewal, as codified in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 were met, in accordance with the issued audit plan (ML15233A518). The enclosure is a list of representatives from NRC and personnel from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and its contractors who participated in the site audit.

The audit began on September 21, 2015, with an entrance meeting to introduce participants and discuss logistics of the audit. Following the entrance meeting, the NRC environmental review team and PG&E discussed the following topics relative to the SAMA analysis:  (1) Level 1 Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA), (2) Level 2 model PRA, (3) external events, (4) Level 3 consequence analysis, (5) SAMA identification and screening, (6) cost-benefit analysis, and (7) consideration of potentially lower cost alternative SAMAs.

SUMMARY OF THE SEVERE ACCIDENTS MITIGATION ALTERNATIVES SITE AUDIT RELATED TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF THE DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NOS. MF4019 AND MF4020)

Dear Mr. Halpin:

On September 21-23, 2015, a review team consisting of staff from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and contractors from the Pa cific Northwest National Laboratory participated in a site audit in San Luis Obispo, California, related to the severe accidents mitigation alternatives (SAMA) environmental review of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP), Units 1 and 2, license renewal application. The primary goal of the site visit was to review documentation and gather information to ensure t hat the environmental requirements for license renewal, as codified in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 were met, in accordance with the issued audit plan (ML15233A518). The enclosure is a list of representatives from NRC and personnel from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and its contractors who participated in the site audit.

The audit began on September 21, 2015, with an entrance meeting to introduce participants and discuss logistics of the audit. Following the entrance meeting, the NRC environmental review team and PG&E discussed the following topics relative to the SAMA analysis: (1) Level 1 Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA), (2) Level 2 model PRA, (3) external events, (4) Level 3 consequence analysis, (5) SAMA identification and screening, (6) cost-benefit analysis, and (7) consideration of potentially lower cost alternative SAMAs.

During the exit meeting at the conclusion of the site audit, the NRC environmental review team summarized the status of the review with PG&E. Most of the team's questions identified in the audit plan or during the audit were answered through the conduct of the audit.

NRC staff is preparing requests for additional information (RAIs), which will be issued in a subsequent letter. While the NRC review team did not identify any significant environmental issues during its site audit, the environmental review of the DCPP license renewal application is ongoing, and thus, any additional information necessary to support the review would be formally requested via the RAI process.

Sincerely,
