R1Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Docket No.: 50-305License No.: DPR-43DOMINION ENERGY KEWAUNEE, INC.KEWAUNEE POWER STATION (KPS)STATUS REPORT FOR ORDER MODIFYING LICENSES WITH REGARD TOREQUIREMENTS FOR MITIGATION STRATEGIES FOR BEYOND-DESIGN-BASIS EXTERNAL EVENTS (ORDER NUMBER EA-12-049)

On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-12-049, "Order to Modify Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events" (the Order) to Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. (DEK). DEK responded to the Order by letters dated March 26, 2012, October 25,2012, February 28, 2013, and August 23, 2013 (Serial Nos.12-160, 12-160A, 12-160B,and 12-160C, respectively).

On May 7, 2013 KPS was permanently shut down. The certification of permanent removal of the fuel from the reactor vessel was submitted to the NRC on May 14, 2013(Serial No.13-293).

Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2),

the 10 CFR Part 50license for KPS no longer authorizes operation of the reactor or emplacement orretention of fuel in the reactor vessel.In accordance with Section IV, Condition C.2, of the Order, DEK is required to submitstatus reports at six (6)-month intervals following submittal of the overall integrated plan(which was submitted on February 28, 2013). This letter fulfills that requirement.

Therescission request for the Order is currently being reviewed by the NRC. The status ofthe enhancement of existing strategies related to SFP makeup is provided in theattachment to this letter.46/l Serial No. 12-160DDocket No.:50-305 Order EA-12-049 Page 2 of 3If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Margaret Earle at (804) 273-2768.
