[External_Sender] RE: RE: Issuance of License Amendment to the License for Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (DCPP)

Good day Project Manager Singal, Thank you for your patience.

At this time, the California State Liaison Officer Robert B. Weisenmiller would like to express support for the License Amendment as it may improve reactor safety in the event that certain postulated accidents occurred. The License Amendment Request: Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Docket Nos. 50-275 and 50-323, Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (DCPP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 is responsive to safety concerns. The adoption of the alternative source term (AST), which prompted the subject License Amendment, necessitates the revision of both the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and the Technical Specifications (TS), which appear to strengthen measures that cope with the offsite and control room radiological consequences of certain postulated accident scenarios. For these reasons, the California State Liaison Officer supports the proposed License Amendment for its potential to improve facility operating safety while posing no additional significant hazards.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best Regards, Justin Cochran, Ph.D.

Good day Project Manager Singal.

We have begun review of the LAR but I would like to request a 2 day extension to January 20, 2016. Some of our resources are on vacation and the Martin Luther King holiday next Monday impacts our staffs ability to process the document through the appropriate review channels.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best Regards, Justin Cochran, Ph.D.

Issuance of License Amendment to the License for Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (DCPP)

All, The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is in the process of issuing a license amendment to the license for DCPP in next 2-3 weeks. The amendments would revise Technical Specification (TS) TSs 1.1, Definitions, 3.4.16, RCS

[Reactor Coolant System] Specific Activity, TS 3.6.3, Containment Isolation Valves, 5.5.9, Steam Generator (SG) Tube Inspection Program, 5.5.11, Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP), and 5.5.19, Envelope Habitability Program, in support of the license amendment request for implementation of the alternative source term.

The proposed findings that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration was published in the Federal Register on November 8, 2016 (81 FR 78664).

Please let us know if State of California has any comments. Your response by January 18, 2017 will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
