)(i). Exelon's overall goal is to provide for a safe and smooth transition for Oyster Creek from an operating site to a permanently shutdown site. On September 21, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 15271A127), a Category 1 public pre-submittal meeting was held between the NRC and Exelon at NRC Headquarters to discuss the proposed list of approximately 30 decommissioning licensing actions for Oyster Creek. This pre-submittal meeting is a followup to that meeting held on September 21, 2015. Exelon discussed its proposed decommissioning post-shutdown license amendment request (LAR), which would contain a post-shutdown permanently defueled emergency plan (PDEP) and emergency action level (EAL) scheme change, reflecting the permanently shutdown and defueled condition of the Oyster Creek reactor. The proposed post-shutdown PDEP would seek reductions in plan commitments, but would still be required to meet standards of 1 O CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 1 O CFR Part 50. As such, no exemption would be needed for the post-shutdown PDEP. The reductions in plan commitments would primarily deal with licensee emergency response organization (ERO) staff and changes to the EAL scheme. Exelon anticipates submitting the proposed LAR to the NRG in June 2016. Exelon said that they are developing the proposed LAR from industry lessons learned based on a review of similar recent industry submittals. | )(i).

SUMMARY
OF APRIL 6, 2016, PUBLIC MEETING WITH EXELON GENERATION COMPANY, LLC REGARDING PRE-SUBMITTAL OF DECOMMISSIONING LICENSING ACTION RELATED TO EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOR OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION (CAC NO. MF7551) On April 6, 2016, a Category 1 public meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and representatives of the Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) at NRC Headquarters, Three White Flint North, 11601 Landsdown Street, Rockville, Maryland.
The purpose of the meeting was for NRC and Exelon to discuss the pre-submittal decommissioning emergency preparedness licensing actions for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (Oyster Creek). The meeting notice and agenda, dated March 11, 2016, are available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML 16092A145.
The meeting began at 1 :00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time (EDT) with opening remarks by the NRC staff followed by introductions of the attendees.
The list of attendees is provided in the Enclosure to this meeting summary. The Exelon staff provided a short presentation, which is available in ADAMS at Accession No. ML 16092A 140. On December 9, 2010, Exelon and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection executed an Administrative Consent Order, under which Exelon agreed to permanently cease operations at Oyster Creek no later than December 31, 2019. By letter dated January 7, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 110070507), Exelon notified the NRC staff of its contingent determination to permanently cease operations at Oyster Creek no later than December 31, 2019, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 O CFR), Section 50.82(a)(1
)(i). Exelon's overall goal is to provide for a safe and smooth transition for Oyster Creek from an operating site to a permanently shutdown site. On September 21, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 15271A127), a Category 1 public pre-submittal meeting was held between the NRC and Exelon at NRC Headquarters to discuss the proposed list of approximately 30 decommissioning licensing actions for Oyster Creek. This pre-submittal meeting is a followup to that meeting held on September 21, 2015. Exelon discussed its proposed decommissioning post-shutdown license amendment request (LAR), which would contain a post-shutdown permanently defueled emergency plan (PDEP) and emergency action level (EAL) scheme change, reflecting the permanently shutdown and defueled condition of the Oyster Creek reactor. The proposed post-shutdown PDEP would seek reductions in plan commitments, but would still be required to meet standards of 1 O CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 1 O CFR Part 50. As such, no exemption would be needed for the post-shutdown PDEP. The reductions in plan commitments would primarily deal with licensee emergency response organization (ERO) staff and changes to the EAL scheme. Exelon anticipates submitting the proposed LAR to the NRG in June 2016. Exelon said that they are developing the proposed LAR from industry lessons learned based on a review of similar recent industry submittals.
Also, Exelon stated that the proposed LAR will contain the following:
(1) an overarching Oyster Creek Emergency Plan (EP) markup derived from the existing Exelon Standard (Fleet) EP; (2) Oyster Creek EP annex markup; (3) EAL markup; (4) table of proposed changes with evaluations; (5) ERO task analysis; and (6) on-shift staffing assessment.
Both the on-shift staffing assessment and ERO task analysis will focus on remaining applicable design-basis accidents (DBAs), including a spent fuel handling accident resulting in a radiological release. Exelon stated that they currently expect to shutdown Oyster Creek on November 30, 2019, and implement the PDEP LAR approximately 30 days after shutdown.
The NRG staff emphasized that Exelon must evaluate the impact of any changes in the proposed post-shutdown PDEP on current interfaces with the State of New Jersey and local radiological emergency preparedness (REP) plans, and that any potential or actual changes proposed that impact offsite REP plans would be provided by the NRG staff to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for review. In addition, Exelon stated that they plan to subsequently submit an exemption request in December 2016, to the standards in 10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency plans," and the requirements of Appendix E to 1 O CFR Part 50, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," consistent with industry precedent, as described in NSIR/DPR-ISG-02, "Emergency Planning Exemption Requests for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants" (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML 14106A057 and ML 15033A224
). Exelon said the proposed exemption request would contain the following analyses:
(1) zirconium fire analysis; (2) OBA Chapter 15 analysis showing that the protective action guidelines (PAGs) are not exceeded for the remaining applicable accidents; (3) dose assessment analysis for loss of spent fuel pool (SFP) inventory showing that the PAGs are not exceeded; (4) seismic analysis of pool failure frequency showing that it is consistent with NUREG-1738, "Technical Study of Spent Fuel Pool Accident Risk at Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants," acceptance criteria; (5) SFP storage analysis in accordance with NUREG-1738; and (6) analysis of mitigating strategies included in the permanently defueled technical specifications or license conditions.
Exelon anticipates submitting the long-term PDEP LAR in December 2016. Exelon stated that the submittal will contain the following:
(1) the proposed long-term PDEP consistent with the requested exemption, (2) further revision to the EALs, (3) table of proposed changes with evaluations, and (5) ERO task analysis.
Exelon plans to implement the long-term PDEP when the zirconium fire potential is negligibly small (approximately 16 -18 months after shutting down Oyster Creek). Members of the public did not have any questions.
The NRC staff made no regulatory decisions regarding the merits of the proposed decommissioning licensing actions for Oyster Creek. The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 p.m. EDT. Please direct any inquiries to me at 301-415-3100, or John.Lamb@nrc.gov.
