Westinghouse License Renewal and related Environmental Assessment - Status Update - Conference Call Summary Date: Wednesday, January 24, 2018 5:04:00 PM

Robert, This email is to provide a summary of last weeks conference call. On January 19, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a conference call with staff from Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC to discuss the status of the license renewal review and environmental assessment. NRC staff discussed the status of the license renewal review.

M.Diaz, NRC Project Manager, stated that staff is making progress on developing the safety evaluation report SER. There are only a few technical topics that remain open (Financial Qualifications and Environmental Assessment). M.Diaz explained the process for finalizing the SER and the next steps. The licensee asked about the timeline and OGCs review of the SER.

Robert Johnson, NRC Branch Chief, responded that OGCs review will depend on a few things but usually takes from 10 - 21 days. RJohnson continued explaining that the timeline and schedule for finalizing the SER will depend on the few open items but that staff will continue their efforts to complete the SER.

On the financial qualifications issue, staff issued RAIs on December 13, 2017 and Westinghouse responded to the RAIs on January 6, 2017. Staff is reviewing the responses and consulting with internal stakeholders and will let Westinghouse know if the response is sufficient to address the 70.23(a)(5) requirement in the next couple of days.

On the Environmental Assessment issue, staff identified a new issue with the environmental review (e.g. 2011 leak not found in environmental report) that may impact some conclusions in the EA and SER. Staff issued RAIs on December 7, 2017. Westinghouse responded to the RAIs on December 12, 2017. NRC staff explained that the responses did not adequately responded to the RAIs and that the NRC will be supplementing the RAIs. J. Quintero, environmental reviewer, explained that in order for the NRC to fully assess the environmental impacts in the EA, Westinghouse need to provide information that characterizes the 2011 leak under the URRS area. The information NRC is requesting is information that the licensee has in compliance with 10 CFR 20.1501. N.Parr stated that they have provided all the information they have on the 2011 leak to the NRC. JQuintero responded that there have been several communications between NRC and Westinghouse that have provided additional information in conversations but the information have not been properly documented in the RAI responses or other formally submitted Westinghouse documents.

MDiaz stated that she will send an email to Westinghouse with the supplemental RAIs and suggested having another call after Westinghouse reads the supplemental RAIs.

Participants: Robert Johnson (NRC), Marilyn Diaz (NRC), Jessie Quintero (NRC), Nancy Parr (Westinghouse), Diana Joyner (Westinghouse), Camille Zozula (Westinghouse) and Amanda Spalding (Westinghouse).
