March 9, 2012emergency enforcement petition to suspend the operation of the James A. FitzPatrick NuclearPlant.The FitzPatrick plant is the only GE Mark I boiling water reactor in the US that did not install aDirect Torus Vent System as requested by the NRC in 1989 and instead, to save money, reliesupon a "pre-existing" venting system that is not fully hardened against a severe accident.In deciding not to install such a vent, the FitzPatrick operator and the NRC relied uponassumptions that now place public health and safety at an undue risk. IThe hydrogen explosions at the Fukushima reactors show the dangers and ,unacceptableconsequences posed by the current FitzPatrick severe accident venting plan, since the plan wasapproved on the assumptions that venting would prevent containment failure, and that there are"no likely" ignition sources along the vent path. Neither of these assumptions was correct duringthe Fukushima nuclear catastrophe.Subsequent to the Fukushima accident, the NRC inspected FitzPatrick and ildentified a"vulnerability, in that current procedures do not address hydrogen considerations" during a severeaccident.Therefore, I request NRC immediately suspend the FitzPatrick operating license until the followingemergency enforcement actions are approved by the NRC:1) Public hearings should be held on the continued operation of Entergy Nuclear Operations'Fitzpatrick plant and the adequacy of its plan to vent through a pre-existing path into theadjacent Standby Gas Treatment System building, blowing off the double doors to release aradiological accident to the outside environment at ground level. The public must be afforded dueprocess to address the unacceptable risks to public health and safety posedby the FitzPatricksevere accident plan.2) Entergy Nuclear Operations should publicly document for independent review its post-Fukushima re-analysis for the reliability and capability of the FitzPatrick pre-existing containmentvent system.The analysis should include the reassessment of all assumptions regarding the reliability of thepre-existing containment venting and specifically address non-conservative assumptions behindthe cost-benefit analysis used to justify not installing a fully hardened vent system.It should also include a reassessment of the assumption of 'no likely ignition points" duringemergency venting that would otherwise present catastrophic consequences. associated with thedetonation of hydrogen gas and the release of radioactivity generated during a severe accident.I wish the NRC to process my request using the 2.206 process, and I understand that under thisprocess, the contents of this message and my identity will be made public.

FitzPatrick NuclearPlant.The FitzPatrick plant is the only GE Mark I boiling water reactor in the US that did not install aDirect Torus Vent System as requested by the NRC in 1989 and instead, to save money, reliesupon a "pre-existing" venting system that is not fully hardened against a severe accident.In deciding not to install such a vent, the FitzPatrick operator and the NRC re.lied uponassumptions that now place public health and safety at an undue risk.The hydrogen explosions at the Fukushima reactors show the dangers and unacceptableconsequences posed by the current FitzPatrick severe accident venting planJ since the plan wasapproved on the assumptions that venting would prevent containment failure', and that there are"no likely" ignition sources along the vent path. Neither of these assumptions was correct duringthe Fukushima nuclear catastrophe.Subsequent to the Fukushima accident, the NRC inspected FitzPatrick and identified a'vulnerability, in that current procedures do not address hydrogen consideratibns" during a severeaccident.Therefore, I request NRC immediately suspend the FitzPatrick operating license until the followingemergency enforcement actions are approved by the NRC:1) Public hearings should be held on the continued operation of Entergy Nuciear Operations'Fitzpatrick plant and the adequacy of its plan to vent through a pre-existing path into theadjacent Standby Gas Treatment System building, blowing off the double doors to release aradiological accident to the outside environment at ground level. The public must be afforded dueprocess to address the unacceptable risks to public health and safety posed by the FitzPatricksevere accident plan.2) Entergy Nuclear Operations should publicly document for independent review its post-Fukushima re-analysis for the reliability and capability of the FitzPatrick pre-existing containmentvent system.The analysis should include the reassessment of all assumptions regarding th'e reliability of thepre-existing containment venting and specifically address non-conservative assumptions behindthe cost-benefit analysis used to justify not installing a fully hardened vent system.It should also include a reassessment of the assumption of "no likely ignition points" duringemergency venting that would otherwise present catastrophic consequences associated with thedetonation of hydrogen gas and the release of radioactivity generated duringla severe accident.I wish the NRC to process my request using the 2.206 process, and I understand that under thisprocess. the contents of this message and my identity will be made public.

FitzPatrick NuclearPlant.The FitzPatrick plant is the only GE Mark I boiling water reactor in the US that did not install aDirect Torus Vent System as requested by the NRC in 1989 and instead, tolsave money, reliesupon a "pre-'xistfing" venting system that is not fully hardened against a severe accident.In deciding not to install such a vent, the FitzPatrick operator and the NRC iielied uponassumptions that now place public health and safety at an undue risk. IThe hydrogen explosions at the Fukushima reactors show the dangers and unacceptableconsequences posed by the current FitzPatrick severe accident venting plan, since the plan wasapproved on the assumptions that venting would prevent containment failure, and that there are"no likely" ignition sources along the vent path. Neither of these assumptions was correct duringthe Fukushima nuclear catastrophe.Subsequent to the Fukushima accident, the NRC inspected FitzPatrick and identified avulnerability, in that current procedures do not address hydrogen consideraotions" during a severeaccident.Therefore, I request NRC immediately suspend the FitzPatrick operating license until the followingemergency enforcement actions are approved by the NRC:1) Public hearings should be held on the continued operation of Entergy Nu'clear Operations'Fitzpatrick plant and the adequacy of its plan to vent through a pre-existing!path into theadjacent Standby Gas Treatment System building, blowing off the double doors to release aradiological accident to the outside environment at ground level. The pubiicimust be afforded dueprocess to address the unacceptable risks to public health and safety posed by the FitzPatricksevere accident plan.2) Entergy Nuclear Operations should publicly document for independent review its post-Fukushima re-analysis for the reliability and capability of the FitzPatrick pre-existing containmentvent system.The analysis should include the reassessment of all assumptions regarding the reliability of thepre-existing containment venting and specifically address non-conservative assumptions behindtne cost-benefit analysis used to justify not installing a fully hardened vent system.It should also include a reassessment of the assumption of "no likely ignition points" duringemergency venting that would otherwise present catastrophic consequences associated with thedetonation of hydrogen gas and the release of radioactivity generated during a severe accident.I wish the NRC to process my request using the 2.206 process, and I understand that under thisprocess, the contents of this message and my identity will be made public.

The public mrust be afforded dueprocess to address the unacceptable risks to public health and safety posed by the FitzPatricksevere accident plan.2) Entergy Nuclear Operations should publicly document for independent revilew its post-Fukushima re-analysis for the reliability and capability of the FitzPatrick pre-existing containmentvent system.The analysis should include the reassessment of all assumptions regarding the reliability of thepre-existing containment venting and specifically address non-conservative assumptions behindthe cost-benefit analysis used to justify not installing a fully hardened vent system.It should also include a reassessment of the assumption of "no likely ignition points' duringemergency venting that would otherwise present catastrophic consequences !associated with thedetonation of hydrogen gas and the release of radioactivity generated during, a severe accident.I wish the NRC to process my request using the 2.206 process, and I understand that under thisprocess, the contents of this message and my identity will be made public.
