UNITED NUCLEAR REGULATORY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 December 22, 2008 Vice President, Operations Arkansas Nuclear One Entergy Operations, Inc. 1448 S.R. 333 Russellville, AR 72802
SUBJECT:
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNITS 1 AND 2 -EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERIM ENFORCEMENT POLICY FOR FIRE PROTECTION ISSUES DURING TRANSITION TO NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION STANDARD NFPA 805 (TAC NOS. ME0073 AND ME0074)
Dear Sir or Madam:
On September 10, 2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published in the Federal Register (73 FR 52705) a revision to its Interim Enforcement Policy regarding enforcement discretion for certain fire protection issues, allowing licensees the option to request an extended enforcement discretion period for submittal of a license amendment request (LAR) if they are pursuing transition to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.48(c), "National Fire Protection Standard NFPA 805." This revision states that an additional period of enforcement discretion may be granted on a case-by-case basis, if a licensee has made substantial progress in its transition effort. This additional period of enforcement discretion, if granted, would end six months after the date of the safety evaluation approving the second pilot plant LAR. These changes are in accordance with COMSECY-08-0022, as approved by the Commission on August 19, 2008. The enforcement discretion will continue in place, without interruption, until NRC disposition of the site's LAR to transition to NFPA 805. By letters dated August 28, 2008 and November 20, 2008 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession Nos. ML082540402 and ML083370317.
respectively), Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the licensee) requested that the period of fire protection enforcement discretion for Arkansas Nuclear One, Units Nos. 1 and 2 be extended until six months after the NRC's approval of both pilot plant LARs to transition to the National Fire Protection Association's risk-informed, performance-based standard for light water reactors (NFPA 805). Per the new interim fire protection enforcement policy outlined above, licensees may request an extension of their evaluation period beyond the 3 years of enforcement discretion previously provided.
To be granted this extension, a licensee must: Compile a list of all fire protection related non-compliances and the related compensatory measures for those non-compliances. Document that each Operator Manual Action put in place as a compensatory measure is feasible and reliable, in accordance with the guidance in Regulatory Issue Summary 2005-07, "Compensatory Measures to Satisfy the Fire Protection Program Requirements."
-2Submit a description of the physical modifications performed to address existing risk-significant fire protection non-compliances. Submit a status report of the transition, including a schedule of milestones, for completing the fire probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). The status report should describe the progress made in the following areas: classical fire protection transition nuclear safety performance criteria transition non-power operation transitions the NFPA 805 monitoring program fire PRA development The lists of non-compliances, compensatory measures, and operator manual action feasibility determinations should be maintained on-site and up to date for inspector review. The NRC staff reviewed Entergy's request, and has determined that the licensee has made substantial enough progress in their transition to NFPA 805 to grant the additional enforcement discretion.
Accordingly, the enforcement discretion period for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 is hereby extended until six months after the date of the safety evaluation approving the second pilot plant LAR. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the project manager at (301) 415-1445 or bye-mail at Alan.Wang@nrc.gov.
