==Dear Sir or Madam:==
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.12, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) requests anexemption from 10 CFR 50.54(m) for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VY). Theproposed exemption would eliminate the requirement that on-site shifts be staffed withoperators licensed under 10 CFR 55 and allow on-site shifts to be staffed with certified fuelhandlers and non-certified operators.
On September 23, 2013, ENO informed the NRC that VY will permanently cease operations inthe fourth quarter of 2014 (Reference 1). Once VY permanently ceases operations and submitsthe certifications required by 10 CR 50.82(a)(1),
pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2),
the 10 CFRPart 50 license for VY will no longer authorize operation of the reactor or emplacement orretention of fuel in the reactor vessel.ENO requests review and approval of this exemption request by November 1, 2014. ENOrequests that the approved exemption become effective following NRC approval of a VYCertified Fuel Handler training program (Reference
: 2) and submittal of the certifications required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1).

/ Page 1 of 10REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM SPECIFIC PROVISIONS IN 10 CFR 50.54(m)VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATIONENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INCDOCKET NO. 50-271I. PROPOSED EXEMPTION Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) requests a permanent exemption from 10 CFR 50.54(m) for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VY). Theproposed exemption would eliminate the requirement that on-site shifts be staffed withoperators licensed under 10 CFR 55 and allow on-site shifts to be staffed with certified fuelhandlers (CFH) and non-certified operators after the certifications required under § 50.82(a)(1) have been docketed.
The proposed exemption is consistent with proposed changes to the VYTechnical Specifications (TS) in a license amendment request (LAR) submitted in Reference 1.10 CFR 50.54(m) is restated below. A permanent exemption is being requested from thisregulation in its entirety.
(1) A senior operator licensed pursuant to part 55 of this chapter shall be present at thefacility or readily available on call at all times during its operation, and shall be present atthe facility during initial startup and approach to power, recovery from an unplanned orunscheduled shut-down or significant reduction in power, and refueling, or as otherwise prescribed in the facility license.(2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, by January 1, 1984, licensees ofnuclear power units shall meet the following requirements:
(i) Each licensee shall meet the minimum licensed operator staffing requirements inthe following table:Minimum Requirements 1 Per Shift for On-Site Staffing of Nuclear Power Units byOperators and Senior Operators Licensed Under 10 CFR Part 55Number of One unit Two units Three unitsnuclear One One Two Two Threepower Position control control control control controlunits room room rooms rooms roomsoperating 2Senior 1 1 1 1None OperatorOperator 1 2 2 3 3SeniorSeir2 2 2 2 2One OperatorOperator 2 3 3 4 4Senior 2 3 33 3Two OperatorOperator 3 4 35 5Senior 3 4Three OperatorOperator 5 6 BVY 13-094 / Attachment
/ Page 2 of 101Temporary deviations from the numbers required by this table shall be in accordance with criteriaestablished in the unit's technical specifications.
2For the purpose of this table, a nuclear power unit is considered to be operating when it is in a modeother than cold shutdown or refueling as defined by the unit's technical specifications.
3The number of required licensed personnel when the operating nuclear power units are controlled from acommon control room are two senior operators and four operators.
(ii) Each licensee shall have at its site a person holding a senior operator license forall fueled units at the site who is assigned responsibility for overall plantoperation at all times there is fuel in any unit. If a single senior operator does nothold a senior operator license on all fueled units at the site, then the licenseemust have at the site two or more senior operators, who in combination arelicensed as senior operators on all fueled units.(iii) When a nuclear power unit is in an operational mode other than cold shutdownor refueling, as defined by the unit's technical specifications, each licensee shallhave a person holding a senior operator license for the nuclear power unit in thecontrol room at all times. In addition to this senior operator, for each fuelednuclear power unit, a licensed operator or senior operator shall be present at thecontrols at all times.(iv) Each licensee shall have present, during alteration of the core of a nuclear powerunit (including fuel loading or transfer),
a person holding a senior operatorlicense or a senior operator license limited to fuel handling to directly supervise the activity and, during this time, the licensee shall not assign other duties to thisperson.(3) Licensees who cannot meet the January 1, 1984 deadline must submit by October 1,1983 a request for an extension to the Director of the Office of Nuclear Regulation anddemonstrate good cause for the request.II. BACKGROUND On September 23, 2013, ENO informed the NRC that it intended to permanently cease poweroperations at VY (Reference 2). Once the certifications required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1) havebeen submitted to the NRC, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2),
the 10 CFR Part 50 license for VYwill no longer authorize operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel in thereactor vessel.On October 31, 2013, ENO submitted a LAR that would change the Renewed Facility Operating License (OL) and the Administrative Controls section of the TS to reflect the expectedpermanently defueled status of VY. The amendment request included proposed changes to TS6.2.B, "Unit Staff," that would require a minimum shift crew composition of one CFH and onenon-certified operator.
The proposed LAR also included a requirement in TS 6.2.C that a CFHtraining program be maintained.
On October 31, 2013, ENO submitted a request for NRCapproval of a CFH Training Program (Reference 3).10 CFR 50.54(m) specifies minimum on-site shift staffing requirements for operators licensedunder 10 CFR 55, "Operators' Licenses."
The scope of 10 CFR 55, states that the regulations of this part apply to any individual who manipulates the controls of any utilization facilitylicensed under 10 CFR Parts 50, 52, or 54. 10 CFR 55.3, "License Requirements,"
states, "A BVY 13-094 / Attachment
/ Page 3 of 10person must be authorized by a license issued by the Commission to perform the function of anoperator or a senior operator as defined in this part." In 10 CFR 55.4, "Definitions,"
an operatoris defined as "any individual licensed under this part to manipulate a control of a facility."
10CFR 55.4 also defines controls as "apparatus and mechanisms the manipulation of whichdirectly affects the reactivity or power level of the reactor."
Once the certifications required by10 CFR 50.82(a)(1) have been submitted to the NRC, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2),
the 10CFR Part 50 license for VY will no longer authorize operation of the reactor or emplacement orretention of fuel in the reactor vessel. Therefore, VY will no longer require operators licensedunder 10 CFR 55 because it no longer has any "controls" that affect the reactivity or power levelof the reactor (as defined in 10 CFR 55.4, "Definitions").
Based on the above, ENO concludes that 10 CFR 50.54(m) will no longer be applicable toVY since 10 CFR 50.54(m) specifies staffing levels for operators licensed under 10 CFR 55(which will no longer be necessary).
A. Licensed Operator Requirements for Nuclear Power Plants10 CFR 50.54(m) specifies minimum requirements per shift for on-site staffing ofnuclear power units by operators and senior operators licensed under 10 CFR Part 55.The requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(m) were published in the Federal Register on July11, 1983 (Reference 4). The summary for this final rule stated that the regulation waspromulgated:
"to require licensees of nuclear power units to provide a minimum number oflicensed operators and senior operators on shift at all times to respond to normaland emergency conditions.
These requirements will further assure the protection of the health and safety of the public by allowing the senior operator in chargethe flexibility to move about the facility as needed while assuring that a senioroperator is continuously present in the control room during unit operation."
The background for this rule stated that the rule implemented the recommendations ofthe NRC Action Plan Developed as a Result of the TMI -2 Accident (which providedinterim shift staffing criteria in NUREG-0737 to all licensees of operating units). Thebackground section states:"To ensure that all operating nuclear power units are adequately staffed withlicensed personnel, the amendment will apply these NUREG-0737 criteria to alloperating nuclear power units."In the mid-1990's, NRC proposed to amend the decommissioning regulations in 10 CFRParts 2, 50, and 51 to clarify ambiguities (Reference 5). In that rulemaking justification for the 50.54(x) change which allowed certified fuel handlers in lieu of licensedoperators, NRC stated that:"A nuclear power reactor that has permanently ceased operations and no longerhas fuel in the reactor vessel does not require a licensed individual to monitorcore conditions."
BVY 13-094 / Attachment
/ Page 4 of 10Although the rule does not explicitly exclude facilities that have submitted thecertifications under Section 50.82(a)(1),
both the basis and the rule itself are premisedon "operating nuclear power units." In addition, SECY-00-0145, "Integrated Rulemaking Plan for Nuclear Power Plant Decommissioning" (Reference 7), discusses portions of 10CFR 50.54 that contain licensed operator requirements with respect to decommissioning plants. The discussion in Section D of SECY-00-0145 (Staffing and Training) states thefollowing:
"A decommissioning plant is clearly not 'operating' and no manipulation ofcontrols that affect reactor reactivity or power can occur at a permanently defueled reactor.
Therefore, the regulations that require specified licensedoperator staffing for operating reactors are not applicable to a decommissioning plant."SECY-00-0145 recommended that the existing rule regarding licensed operator staffingat decommissioning facilities be clarified.
The recommendation is as follows:"Clarify that licensed operators are not required for permanently shutdown anddefueled reactors."
A report transmitted by NRC memorandum (Reference
: 8) regarding applicability of Title10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to decommissioning nuclear power plantscontains discussion regarding whether licensed operators are required for permanently shutdown and defueled facilities.
The discussion states that while 10 CFR 50.54(m) isapplicable to all licenses, "the applicability of this subsection appears to apply to plantoperation."
The memorandum also states that "once the fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel, the applicability of this regulation becomes lessapparent."
The applicability of 10 CFR 50.54(m) is also addressed in the discussion regarding Part 55, "Operators' Licenses,"
which states, "the regulations of this part aredeemed to be applicable to decommissioning plants as long as licensed operators areused by the decommissioning plant for staffing."
This position is logical, in that theregulation governing licensed operators (Part 55) should remain applicable to facilities that rely on licensed operators.
Conversely, once a facility no longer relies on licensedoperators, Part 55 would no longer apply.VY is a single unit facility.
For a facility containing a single nuclear power unit that is notoperating, the table in 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i) requires one Senior operator and oneoperator on-site per shift, each of whom is licensed under 10 CFR Part 55. Once thecertifications required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1) have been submitted to the NRC, pursuantto 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2),
the 10 CFR Part 50 license for VY will no longer authorize operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel in the reactor vessel. Shiftstaffing with operators licensed under 10 CFR 55 will no longer be necessary to meet 10CFR 50.54(m) requirements.
VY TS 6.2.B, "Unit Staff," currently contains administrative controls for shift crewcomposition that are consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(m).
VYsubmitted proposed changes to TS 6.2.B in Reference
: 1. The proposed changes wouldrequire a minimum shift crew composition of one CFH and one non-certified operator.
Therefore, the number of required positions to be staffed will remain the same asspecified in 10 CFR 50.54(m).
Reference 1 also proposed changes to VY TS 6.2.C.2that would require an NRC approved training and retraining program for CFHs be BVY 13-094 / Attachment
/ Page 5 of 10maintained.
VY submitted a CFH training program to NRC for review and approval onOctober 31, 2013 (Reference 3).The proposed qualification requirements of the two administratively required individuals are commensurate with the scope of activities needed for safe management ofirradiated fuel at a permanently defueled facility.
B. SummaryENO is requesting a permanent exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(m)for VY. The exemption would eliminate the requirement that on-site shifts be staffed withoperators licensed under 10 CFR 55 and allow on-site shifts to be staffed with CFHsand non-certified operators.
Once the certifications required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1) havebeen submitted to the NRC, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2),
the 10 CFR Part 50license for VY will no longer authorize operation of the reactor or emplacement orretention of fuel in the reactor vessel. As such, it will no longer be possible for anyoperator controls to directly affect the reactivity or power level of the reactor.Consequently, there will no longer be a requirement for operators licensed under 10CFR 55 and consistent with 10 CFR 55.2, Part 55 will no longer apply to VY. VY hassubmitted an associated license amendment request that would incorporate minimumstaffing requirements for CFHs into the VY TS. The proposed TS requirements willspecify appropriate on-site shift manning and associated training requirements for VY.C. Precedence The proposed exemption is consistent with past treatment of other permanently defueled nuclear facilities in the U.S. (e.g., Millstone 1 and Zion). These facilities rely onadministrative controls to establish on-site shift staffing requirements and the controlsspecify the use of CFHs and non-certified operators.
II1. JUSTIFICATION FOR EXEMPTIONS AND SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES 10 CFR 50.12 states that the Commission may, upon application by any interested person orupon its own initiative, grant exemptions from the requirements of the regulations of Part 50which are authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety, andare consistent with the defense and security.
10 CFR 50.12 also states that the Commission willnot consider granting an exemption unless special circumstances are present.
As discussed below, this exemption request satisfies the provisions of Section 50.12.A. The exemptions are authorized by law10 CFR 50.12 allows the NRC to grant exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFRPart 50. The proposed exemption would not result in a violation of the Atomic EnergyAct of 1954, as amended, or the Commission's regulations.
Therefore, the exemption isauthorized by law.
BVY 13-094 / Attachment
/ Page 6 of 10B. The exemptions will not present an undue risk to public health and safetyA nuclear power reactor that has permanently ceased operations and no longer has fuelin the reactor vessel does not require a licensed individual to monitor core conditions.
ACFH at a permanently shutdown and defueled nuclear power reactor undergoing decommissioning is an individual who has the requisite knowledge and experience toevaluate plant conditions and make the judgments necessary to take actions needed toprotect the health and safety of the public. Requirements for minimum shift staffing andfor maintaining an NRC-approved CFH training program will be contained in the VY TS.Therefore, the exemption will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety.C. The exemptions are consistent with the common defense and securityRequired shift staffing numbers are not being reduced from that previously required by10 CFR 50.54(m),
only the requirement for the on-shift staff to be licensed pursuant toPart 55 is being eliminated.
Requirements for minimum shift staffing and for maintaining an NRC approved CFH training program will be contained in the VY TS.Eliminating the requirement that on-site shift personnel be licensed pursuant to 10 CFR55 will not adversely affect ENO's ability to physically secure the site or protect specialnuclear material.
Physical security measures at VY are not affected by the requested exemption.
Therefore, the proposed exemption is consistent with the common defense and security.
D. Special Circumstances Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2),
the NRC will not consider granting an exemption to itsregulations unless special circumstances are present.
ENO believes that special circumstances are present as discussed below.1. Application of the regulation in the particular circumstances would not serve theunderlying purpose of the rule or is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule. (10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii))
The underlying purpose of 10 CFR 50.54(m) is to ensure that operating nuclear powerunits are adequately staffed with licensed personnel.
The requirements in 10 CFR50.54(m) were developed in response to the TMI-2 accident taking into consideration the risks associated with operation of a nuclear power reactor at its licensed, full-power level. These risks include the potential for a reactor accident with offsite radiological dose consequences.
VY will be a permanently defueled facility.
Once defueled, the radiological consequences of accidents possible at VY will be substantially lower than those at anoperating plant. Because of the significantly reduced consequences of possibleradiological events, the scope of operator actions and corresponding requirements foroperator staffing levels may be accordingly reduced.
Thus, the underlying purpose ofthe regulations will continue to be met by use of CFHs and non-certified operators andeliminating the requirements that licensed operators fulfill on-site staffing requirements.
BVY 13-094 / Attachment
/ Page 7 of 10All necessary activities can be appropriately fulfilled by CFHs and non-certified operators.
Therefore, application of the requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(m) is not necessary toachieve the underlying purpose of this rule and special circumstances are present asdefined in 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii).
: 2. Compliance would result in undue hardship or other costs that are significantly inexcess of those contemplated when the regulation was adopted, or that aresignificantly in excess of those incurred by others similarly situated.
(10 CFR50.12(a)(2)(iii))
Compliance with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(m) would result in undue hardshipand costs being incurred for the maintenance and implementation of a licensed operatortraining and qualification program.
This program would be needed to maintain operators licensed under Part 55. Other licensees with permanently defueled plants, such as Zionand Millstone Unit 1, do not require operators licensed under Part 55 for shift staffing.
The additional costs associated with maintaining a licensed operator training andqualification program would result in an unnecessary burden on the VYdecommissioning trust fund.Therefore, compliance with the rule would result in an undue hardship or other coststhat are significantly in excess of those contemplated when the regulation was adopted,or that are significantly in excess of those incurred by others similarly situated.
Therefore, the special circumstances are present as defined in 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(iii).
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The proposed exemption meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in10 CFR 51.22(c)(25),
because the proposed exemption involves:
(i) no significant hazardsconsideration; (ii) no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts ofany effluents that may be released offsite; (iii) no significant increase in individual or cumulative public or occupational radiation exposure; (iv) no significant construction impact; (v) nosignificant increase in the potential for or consequences from radiological accidents; and (vi) therequirements from which the exemption is sought involve education,
: training, experience, qualification, requalification or other employment suitability requirements.
Therefore, pursuantto 10 CFR 51.22(b),
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need beprepared in connection with the proposed exemption.
(i) No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination ENO has evaluated the proposed exemption to determine whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10CFR 50.92 as discussed below:1. Does the proposed exemption involve a siqnificant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident Previously evaluated?
The proposed exemption has no effect on plant systems, structures andcomponents (SSCs) and no effect on the capability of any plant SSC to perform BVY 13-094 / Attachment
/ Page 8 of 10its design function.
The proposed exemption will not increase the likelihood ofthe malfunction of any plant SSC. The proposed exemption will have no effect onthe probability of consequences of any of the previously evaluated accidents inthe VY Updated Final Safety Analysis Report. Reliance on CFHs and non-certified operators to perform on-shift staffing duties will not affect the probability of occurrence of any previously analyzed accident.
Therefore, the proposed exemption does not involve a significant increase in theprobability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
: 2. Does the proposed exemption create the possibility of a new or different kind ofaccident from any accident previously evaluated?
The proposed exemption does not involve a physical alteration of the plant. Nonew or different type of equipment will be installed and there are no physicalmodifications to existing equipment associated with the proposed exemption.
Similarly, the proposed exemption will not physically change any SSCs involvedin the mitigation of any accidents.
Thus, no new initiators or precursors of a newor different kind of accident are created.
Furthermore, the proposed exemption does not create the possibility of a new accident as a result of new failure modesassociated with any equipment or personnel failures.
No changes are beingmade to parameters within which the plant is normally
: operated, or in thesetpoints which initiate protective or mitigative
: actions, and no new failure modesare being introduced.
Therefore, the proposed exemption does not create the possibility of a new ordifferent kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
: 3. Do the proposed exemptions involve a significant reduction in a margin ofsafety?The proposed exemption does not alter the design basis or any safety limits forthe plant. The proposed exemption does not impact station operation or anyplant SSC that is relied upon for accident mitigation.
Therefore, the proposed exemption does not involve a significant reduction in amargin of safety.Based on the above, ENO concludes that the proposed exemption presents nosignificant hazards consideration, and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazardsconsideration" is justified.
(ii) There is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amountsof any effluents that may be released offsite.There are no expected changes in the types, characteristics, or quantities of effluents discharged to the environment associated with the proposed exemption.
There are nomaterials or chemicals introduced into the plant that could affect the characteristics ortypes of effluents released offsite.
In addition, the method of operation of wasteprocessing systems will not be affected by the exemption.
The proposed exemption will BVY 13-094 / Attachment
/ Page 9 of 10not result in changes to the design basis requirements of SSCs that function to limit ormonitor the release of effluents.
All the SSCs associated with limiting the release ofeffluents will continue to be able to perform their functions.
Therefore, the proposedexemption will result in no significant change to the types or significant increase in theamounts of any effluents that may be released offsite.(iii)There is no significant increase in individual or cumulative public or occupational radiation exposure.
The exemption will result in no expected increases in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure on either the workforce or the public. There are noexpected changes in normal occupational doses. Likewise, design basis accident doseis not impacted by the proposed exemption.
(iv) There is no significant construction impact.No construction activities are associated with the proposed exemption.
(v) There is no significant increase in the potential for or consequences fromradiological accidents.
See the no significant hazards considerations discussion in Item (i)(1) above.(vi) The requirements from which exemptions are sought involve education,
: training, experience, qualification, requalification or other employment suitability requirements.
The underlying purpose of the requirements from which exemption is sought is toensure that all operating nuclear power units are adequately staffed with licensedpersonnel.
These are requirements that ensure appropriate training and staffing levelsfor plant operators.
