MF7347 - Draft Supplemental RAI Regarding the Proposed James A. FitzPatrick NPP License Amendment Request to Revise its Emergency Plan for the Permanently Defueled ConditionMr. William C. Drews Regulatory Assurance Manager Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.
James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Plant
SUPPLEMENTAL DRAFT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING PROPOSED EMERGENCY PLAN CHANGE AMENDMENT FOR THE PERMANENTLY DEFUELED CONDITION ENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS. INC. JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-333 RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-59 On May 24, 2016, the staff sent draft RAIs (ADAMS No. ML16152A183) to Entergy related to its license amendment request for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAF) Emergency Plan based on its planned permanent cessation of operations and defueling of the facility. The Entergy license amendment request was submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) by letter dated February 04, 2016 (ADAMS Package Accession Number ML16043A424; CAC MF7347).
On June 2, 2016, the staff conducted a clarification call with Entergy-JAF to confirm the licensee's understanding of the staff's RAIs and information needs. During the clarification call, the following actions were agreed to by both the NRC staff and the licensee:
- 1) JAF stated that the information requested by the RAIs sent by the NRC on May 24, 2016, were understood and no additional clarifying changes to the RAIs were necessary.
- 2) JAF requested that the response date for these RAI be revised to July 5, 2016. The NRC staff considered a response date of July 5, 2016, to be acceptable. 3) The NRC staff indicated that additional information is needed related to the licensee's removal of the Emergency Response Data System from service following permanent cessation of operations. The staff committed to providing the supplemental RAI by close of business on June 3, 2016. [See supplemental RAI below] Clarification call participants included:
2Entergy Pete Cullinan - Senior EP Specialist Jim Jones- Emergency Planning Manager Bill Drews- Regulatory Assurance Manager Phil Couture -Corporate Licensing Dave Daigle-Entergy Consultant for EP
NRC Bill Huffman - FitzPatrick PM Mike Norris - NSIR Division of Preparedness and Response, Operating Reactor Licensing Team Leader Ray Hoffman - Emergency Preparedness Specialist John Lamb - Oyster Creek Project Manager
As discussed in the clarification call, supplemental information is needed by the staff to complete its evaluation. The requested additional information (RAI) has been identified as draft at this time to confirm your understanding of the RAI. Note that this RAI has been numbered to sequentially follow the previous RAIs issued on May 24, 2016.
The NRC will make this e-mail documenting the RAI clarification call and supplemental draft RAI publicly available by placing it in ADAMS via the NRC e-capture process.
RAI-JAF-7 Attachment 2, Section 1.1, (on page 3 of 39) provides the following basis for removal of the Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) from service:
The ERDS requirement in Appendix E to 10 CFR50 exempts "all nuclear power facilities that are shut down permanently" from the need to provide an ERDS interface with the NRC. Elimination of ERDS will be dispositioned in accordance with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q), "Conditions of licenses," related to emergency preparedness, and specifically to making changes to emergency response plans.
- a. Please discuss whether ENO provides or has made a commitment to provide ERDS or similar plant data link to the State of New York or local response organizations.
- b. Please provide documentation that affected State and local response organizations have performed a review of the proposed changes to the JAF Emergency Plan and that potential impacts do not exist with respect to the elimination of ERDS in support of offsite radiological assessment and protective action decision-making. If impacts are identified, please provide documentation of the commitment by applicable State and/or local organization to revise their REP plans accordingly. Please call me at 301-415-2046 if you would like to set up a conference call to clarify the additional requested information.
