- 1. Exelon Generation Company, LLC 180-day Response to NRC Request for Information Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(f) Regarding the Flooding Aspects of Recommendation 2.3 of the Near-Term Task force Review of Insights from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Accident, dated November 19, 2012 (RS-12-178)

NRC Letter, Request for Information Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 50.54(f) Regarding Recommendations 2.1, 2.3, and 9.3, of the Near-Term Task Force Review of Insights from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Accident, dated March 12, 2012 In Reference 1, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) provided the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS) flooding walkdown report in accordance with the NRC Request for Information (Reference 2). The OCNGS flooding walkdown report documented the plant walkdowns performed to verify that plant features credited in the current licensing basis for protection and mitigation from external flood events are available, functional, and properly maintained. In Table NO.5 of Reference 1, EGC provided the list of the OCNGS plant features that were not able to be inspected due to inaccessibility. EGC committed to complete the inspection of these features classified as restricted access by the end of the OCNGS Refueling Outage OCi R24 (Fall 2012).

This letter provides the of the completed supplemental walkdown inspections performed for the features classified as restricted access in Reference 1. Additionally, 6 features (Pipe Sleeves 381-386) which do not appear on the B&R 4000 series concrete drawings were found during the walkdown of the Condenser bay and the results are attached to the tables. One feature (24" Pipe Sleeve 147) that was listed in Reference 1 as restricted access was removed, since it was determined to be connected within the intake tunnel and is not an external feature.
The enclosed tables document the specific walkdown results for each of the subject plant features.
The results of the visual inspections during the supplemental flooding walkdowns showed that 95 features meet the NEI 12-07 acceptance criteria. Table 1 provides the results for the features that were inspected during the 1R24 Oyster Creek refueling outage immediately judged as acceptable.
Table 2 provides the list of 30 features that were not immediately judged as acceptable during the supplemental walkdowns. The table provides the tracking mechanism for Corrective Action Program (CAP) resolution of the identified conditions.
There were no findings that were found to be deficient per the current licensing basis. The findings that were documented using the CAP will be resolved using the stations corrective action program. No other findings challenge the current licensing basis.
The supplemental flooding walkdown record forms document the details of all observations for all flood features inspected, and are available for on-site review. Except as noted above, OCNGS flood protection features met the NEI 12-07 Supplemental Guidance acceptance criteria and were found to be in accordance with the site current licensing basis.
This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.
Should you have any questions concerning the content of this letter, please contact Ron Gaston at (630) 657-3359.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 19th day of March 2013.
