Enclosure 1 to PLA-7570 Page 6of11

4. Changes to Compliance Method NRC Order EA-12-049 requires implementation of Mitigation Strategies to include procedures, guidance, training, and acquisition, staging, or installing of equipment needed for the strategies.

Reference 8.1 provided Susquehanna's response to the NRC Order EA 049. The cover letter identifies that delays in implementing the Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050 will affect implementation of the Mitigation Strategies NRC Order EA-12-049 actions.

The Reference 8.1 enClosure describes Susquehanna's Mitigation Strategies that are based on venting the containment using the Hardened Containment Vent System. It also describes that a modification is required to install a Hardened Containment Vent System.

Thus the Susquehanna response to NRC Order EA-12-049 provided in Reference 8.1 was premised on installation and use of a Hardened Containment Vent System as required byNRC Order EA-12-050.

Upon issuance ofNRC Qrder EA-13-109, the NRC staff changed technical and schedule requirements applicable to the Hardened Containment Vent System and rescinded the requirements of the NRC Order EA-12-050.

As a result, full compliance to the Mitigation Strategies required by NRC Order EA-12-049 and described in Reference 8.1 for Susquehanna Units 1 and 2 will not be achieved until compliance with NRC Order EA-13-109 is achieved as described in Reference 8.8. This relaxation was granted in Reference 8.11.

5. Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Susquehanna expects to comply with NRC Order EA-12-049, but needs relaxation of the implementation dates. The specific details have been submitted in a separate document (Reference 8.8).

NRC Order EA-12-049 requires implementation of Mitigation Strategies to include procedures, guidance, training, and acquisition, staging, or installing of equipment needed for the strategies.

Reference 8.1 provided Susquehanna's response to the NRC Order EA 049. The cover letter identifies that delays in implementing the Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050 will also affect implementation of the Mitigation Strategies NRC Order EA-12-049 actions.

The Reference 8.1 enclosure describes the Susquehanna Mitigation Strategies*

that is based on venting the containment using the Hardened Containment

Enclosure 1 to PLA-7570 Page 7of11 Vent System. It also describes that a modification to install a Hardened Containment Vent System is required.

Thus Susquehanna's NRC Order EA-12-049 response provided in Reference 8.1 was premised on installation and use of a Hardened Containment Vent System as required byNRC Order EA-12-050.

Upon issuance ofNRC Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff changed technical and schedule requirements applicable to the Hardened Containment Vent System and rescinded the requirements of the NRC Order EA-12-050.

As a result, full compliance to the Mitigation Strategies required by NRC Order EA-12-049 and described in Reference 8.1 for Susquehanna Units 1 and 2 will not be achieved until compliance with NRC Order EA-13-109 is .

achieved.

Relaxation of the NRC Order EA-12-049 IV.A.2 requirements is required and has been requested (Reference 8.8). This relaxation was granted in Reference 8.11.

6. Open Items from Overall Integrated Plan and Draft Safety Evaluation The following tables provide a summary and status as of December 30, 2016 of the open items documented in the Overall Integrated Plan and ISE. The Open Item and Confirmatory Items identified in the ISE will be addressed by the Regulatory Audit Process. The NRC performed the Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Level Instrumentation Audit at Susquehanna the week of December 8th, 2014. During the Audit Exit meeting the NRC considered all Mitigation Strategies related items to be closed. The NRC's Audit Report documented the closure status of the Mitigation Strategies issues.
