- Richard, By letter dated September 16, 2013, Duke Energy Progress Inc., the licensee of H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2 (HBRSEP), submitted a license amendment request to change its fire protection program to one based on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants, 2001 Edition, as incorporated into Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Section 50.48(c) (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML13267A211). By letter dated November 24, 2014, and letter dated December 22, 2014, you provided responses to staff request for additional information (RAI) (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML14337A098 and ML15005A073).
To complete its review, the NRC staff has the following follow-up draft request for additional information (RAI) attached.
Please see the attached RAI in DRAFT form.
A Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI) review was completed by the staff on the draft RAI and the staff concluded the RAI do not contain SUNSI.
If you find any information needs to be withheld from the public, please notify me within 5 days of receipt of this email.
Please confirm if your staff is available to support a clarification call for these on the February 12, 2015 scheduled call. We are currently scheduled to have a call on PRA RAI #3 regarding its RAI status on this date.
If you are not available, please provide the next possible date for a clarification call.
