NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2011–0023; Docket No. 50–382] 

Entergy Operations, Inc. Waterford 

Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 

Exemption 

1.0 Background 

Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the 

licensee) is the holder of Facility 

Operating License Number NPF–42, 

which authorizes operation of the 

Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 

(Waterford 3). The license provides, 

among other things, that the facility is 

subject to all rules, regulations, and 

orders of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC, the Commission) 

now or hereafter in effect. 

The facility consists of one 

pressurized-water reactor located in 

Saint Charles Parish, Louisiana. 

2.0 Request/Action 

By letter dated May 27, 2010 

(Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) 

Accession No. ML101520325), and 

supplemented by letters dated 

November 3 and 29, 2010 (ADAMS 

Accession Nos. ML103090716 and 

ML103350158, respectively), Entergy 

requested an exemption, pursuant to 

Section 26.9, ‘‘Specific exemptions,’’ of 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), from the 

requirements of Sections 26.205(c) and 

(d) during declarations of severe 

weather conditions, such as a tropical 

storm and hurricane-force winds, as 

described in Entergy’s document, 

Procedure ENS–EP–302, ‘‘Severe 

Weather Response.’’ The requested 

exemption would apply to individuals 

who perform duties identified in 10 CFR 

26.4(a)(1) through (a)(5) who are 

sequestered in the event of severe winds 

and who would need to be available to 

ensure the plant remains in a safe and 

secure status to protect the public. 

Waterford 3 is located in a coastal 

area and has a likelihood of being 

affected by hurricane watches and 

warnings or inland hurricane wind 

watches and warnings caused by a 

hurricane impacting the coast. The most 

recent events were Hurricanes Katrina 

(August 27, 2005) and Gustav (August 

31, 2008). In both events, the site was 

under a hurricane warning. Widespread 

evacuations were required for both 

storms and response personnel were 

sequestered on site. The site entered an 

Unusual Event in both cases. The 

exemption request proposes to extend 

the exception provided by Section 

26.207(d) for pre-defined entry and exit 

conditions related to hurricane events 

because the sequestering of plant 

personnel and related staff resource 

limitations may occur at times prior to 

and following the hurricane. 

The exemption will allow Waterford 3 

to sequester individuals on-site, when 

travel to and from the site during highwind conditions may be hazardous or 

simply not possible. If conditions are 

such that sustained winds of 74 mile per 

hour are present on-site, then Waterford 

3 must declare a notice of Unusual 

Event (UE). When this declaration is 

made, an exemption from work hour 

controls is available under 10 CFR 

26.207(d). 

The regulations in 10 CFR 26.205(c), 

‘‘Work hours scheduling,’’ a 

performance-based provision, require 

that licensees schedule the work hours 

of individuals who are subject to this 

section consistent with the objective of 

preventing impairment from fatigue due 

to duration, frequency, or sequencing of 

successive shifts. The regulations in 10 

CFR 26.205(d), ‘‘Work hour controls,’’ 

specify the maximum work hour limits, 

the minimum break requirements and 

the minimum day-off requirements for 

covered workers. 

After the high-wind conditions pass, 

wind damage to the plant and 

surrounding area might preclude 

sufficient numbers of individuals from 

immediately returning to the site. 

Additionally, if mandatory civil 

evacuations were ordered, this would 

possibly delay the return of sufficient 

relief personnel. In its letter dated 

November 3, 2010, the licensee clarified 

that the exemption will be exited if the 

relevant hurricane watch/warning or 

Inland Hurricane Watch/Warning has 

been canceled; if weather conditions 

and highway infrastructure support safe 

travel; and if relief crews are available 

to restore normal shift rotation 

determined by the Site VP (or designee). 

When this declaration is made, full 

compliance with 10 CFR 26.205(c) and 

(d) is again required. 

Thus, to summarize, the Entergy 

exemption request for Waterford 3 can 

be characterized as having three parts: 

(1) High-wind exemption encompassing 

the period starting with the initiating 

conditions to just prior to declaration of 

an unusual event, (2) a period defined 

as immediately following high-wind 

condition, when an unusual event is not 

declared, but when a recovery period is 

still required, and (3) a recovery 

exemption immediately following an 

existing 10 CFR 26.207(d) exception as 

discussed above. 

3.0 Discussion 

The NRC, pursuant to 10 CFR 26.9, 

requires that upon application of any 

interested person or on its own 

initiative, the Commission may grant 

such exemptions from the requirements 

of the regulations at 10 CFR 26.205(c) 

and (d), as ‘‘it determines are authorized 

by law and will not endanger life or 

property or the common defense and 

security, and are otherwise in the public 

interest.’’ 

The NRC staff has reviewed the 

licensee’s request using the regulations 

contained in 10 CFR 26.205 and 10 CFR 

26.207 and related Statements of 

Consideration in the 10 CFR part 26 

Final Rule published in the Federal 

Register on March 31, 2008 (73 FR

Andrew on the Turkey Point Nuclear 

Generating Station from August 20–30, 

1992,’’ produced jointly by the NRC and 

the Institute of Nuclear Power 

Operations (non-publicly available). 

Based on its review, the NRC staff 

agrees that preparing the site for the 

onset of tropical storms and hurricanes, 

which includes sequestering enough 

essential personnel to provide for shift 

relief, is necessary to ensure adequate 

protection of the plant and personnel 

safety, would maintain protection of 

health and safety of the public, would 

not adversely affect the common 

defense and security, and is otherwise 

in the public interest. 

Workers covered by the requirement 

are workers who perform duties 

identified in 10 CFR 26.4(a)(1) through 

(a)(5), who are sequestered in the event 

of severe winds, and who would need 

to be available to ensure the plant 

remains in a safe and secure status to 

protect the public. Those duties are: 

[(1) Operating or onsite directing of the 

operation of structures, systems, and 

components (SSCs) that a risk-informed 

evaluation process has shown to be 

significant to public health and safety; 

(2) performing health physics or 

chemistry duties required as a member 

of the onsite emergency response 

organization’s minimum shift 

complement; (3) performing the duties 

of a fire brigade member who is 

responsible for understanding the 

effects of fire and fire suppressants on 

safe shutdown capability; (4) performing 

maintenance or onsite directing of the 

maintenance of SSCs that a riskinformed evaluation process has shown 

to be significant to public health and 

safety; and (5) performing security 

duties as an armed security force officer, 

alarm station operator, response team 

leader, or watchperson [security 

personnel]. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 26.207(d), 

licensees need not meet the 

requirements of Section 26.205(c) and 

(d) during declared emergencies as 

defined in the licensee’s emergency 

plan. A tropical storm watch occurs 

when sustained winds are at least 39 

mph. The entry condition for the 

Waterford 3 declaration of an Unusual 

Event is a confirmed hurricane-force 

wind greater or equal to 74 mph that is 

expected to arrive on site in less than 12 

hours as projected by the National 

Weather Service. Therefore, entry 

conditions for the requested exemption 

precede the declaration of an Unusual 

Event. 

Section 26.207(d) states that licensees 

need not meet the requirements of 

26.205(c) and (d) during declared 

emergencies, therefore there is no need 

for an additional exemption to be 

granted during the period of a declared 

emergency for severe winds. Although 

work hours, breaks, and days off are 

calculated as usual during a licenseedeclared plant emergency, licensees are 

unconstrained in the number of hours 

they may allow individuals to work 

performing covered duties or the timing 

and duration of breaks they must 

require them to take. 

High-Wind Exemption 

A high-wind exemption includes the 

period starting with the entry conditions 

prior to the declaration of an Unusual 

Event (confirmed hurricane watch or 

warning is in effect). As a hurricane 

approaches landfall, high-wind 

speeds—in excess of wind speeds that 

create unsafe travel conditions—are 

expected. During these times, the 

National Weather Service typically 

publishes a projected path of the storm. 

This condition will be described as the 

‘‘high-wind condition,’’ or ‘‘period of 

high winds.’’ 

The National Hurricane Center 

defines a hurricane warning as an 

announcement that hurricane 

conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph 

or higher) are expected somewhere 

within the specified coastal area. 

Because severe wind preparedness 

activities become difficult once winds 

reach tropical storm force, a hurricane 

warning is issued 36 hours in advance 

of the anticipated onset of tropicalstorm-force winds (39 to 73 mph). 

The following are entry conditions 

where the site may apply a proposed 

allowance period for exemption from 

fatigue rule requirements (Entergy 

Procedure EN–EP–309, ‘‘Fatigue 

Management for Hurricane Response 

Activities’’). 

(a) The site location is expected to be 

within a Hurricane Watch or Warning 

area. OR 

(b) The site location is expected to be 

within an Inland Hurricane Watch or 

Warning area. OR 

(c) Travel conditions are forecasted to 

be hazardous for employee commutes to 

and from the site (i.e., sustained wind 

conditions of greater than 40 mph). OR 

(d) Local municipalities are preparing 

to declare restrictions on travel that 

would impact employee commutes and/ 

or are preparing to order or recommend 

evacuations in areas that affect essential 

staffing levels for the site. 

Lessons learned that are included in 

NUREG–1474, include the 

acknowledgement that detailed, 

methodical preparations should be 

made prior to the onset of hurricaneforce winds. The NRC staff concludes 

that Waterford 3’s organized actions are 

consistent with the lessons learned. 

Recovery Exemption Immediately 

Following a High-Wind Exemption 

The period immediately following the 

high-wind exemption, but when the 

conditions for an Unusual Event no 

longer exist, may still require a recovery 

period. Also, high winds that make 

travel unsafe but that fall below the 

threshold of an emergency, could be 

present for several days. After the highwind condition has passed, sufficient 

numbers of personnel may not be able 

to access the site to relieve the 

sequestered individuals. An exemption 

during these conditions is consistent 

with the intent of the 10 CFR 26.207(d). 

Recovery Exemption Immediately 

Following an Emergency Plan 

Exemption 

Following a declared emergency, 

under 10 CFR 26.207(d), due to highwind conditions, the site may not be 

accessible by sufficient numbers of 

personnel to allow relief of the 

sequestered individuals. Once the highwind conditions have passed and the 

Unusual Event exited, a recovery period 

might be necessary. An exemption 

during these circumstances is consistent 

with the intent of 10 CFR 26.207(d). 

Once Waterford 3 has entered into 

either the high-wind exemption or the 

10 CFR 26.207(d) exemption, the 

licensee does not need to make a 

declaration that it is invoking the 

recovery exemption. 

Unit Shutdown 

If a hurricane warning is in effect and 

the storm is projected to reach the site, 

Waterford 3 specifies that 12 hours prior 

to arrival of hurricane conditions onsite, 

as projected by the National Weather 

Service, Waterford 3 will commence a 

plant shutdown as directed by plant 

management in anticipation of a loss of 

offsite power. 

Lessons learned from Hurricane 

Andrew, NUREG–1474, include having 

the unit shut down and on decay heat 

removal when the storm strikes so that 

a loss of offsite power will not 

jeopardize core cooling. The NRC staff 

concludes the Waterford 3 plan is 

consistent with the lessons learned.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 43 / Friday, March 4, 2011 / Notices 12139 

Fatigue Management 

Waterford 3 plans to establish a 12- 

hour duty schedule comprised of a day 

shift and a night shift. In its letter dated 

November 3, 2010, the licensee 

provided a checklist, in procedure ENS– 

EP–302, Attachment 9.2 which includes 

‘‘Management Expectations’’ which 

incorporates an expectation of 

responders to sleep when off duty. 

When personnel are to be sequestered 

on site, Waterford 3 permits 

arrangements for onsite reliefs and 

bunking to be made in order to allow for 

a sufficient period of restorative sleep 

for personnel. The relief and bunking 

areas will be developed prior to 

sequestering personnel. Sleeping 

accommodations within a weather 

protected environment will be made 

available that will attempt to minimize 

the interruption of sleep. The licensee 

has also provided key features of 

managing fatigue, which highlight 

sufficient numbers of management and 

supervision that will be available to 

provide oversight for plant operating 

conditions and who are tasked with 

monitoring the effects of fatigue such 

that the public health and safety is 

adequately protected. The NRC staff 

concludes that the actions presented are 

consistent with the practice of fatigue 

management. 

Maintenance 

In its letter dated November 3, 2010, 

the licensee clarified that the exemption 

request will only apply to individuals 

involved in hurricane response 

activities that perform duties indentified 

in 10 CFR 26.4 (1) through (5). The 

exemption does not apply to 

discretionary maintenance activities. 

The exemption is for work necessary to 

maintain the plant in a safe and secure 

condition. Suspension of work hour 

controls is for storm preparation 

activities and those deemed critical for 

plant and public safety. The NRC staff 

concludes that the exclusion of 

discretionary maintenance from the 

exemption request to be consistent with 

the intent of the exemption. 

Procedural Guidance 

In its letter dated November 29, 2010, 

the licensee made a commitment to 

incorporate the following guidance in 

site procedures: 

(1) The conditions necessary to 

sequester site personnel that are 

consistent with the conditions specified 

in the Waterford 3 exemption request 

(W3F1–2010–0045). 

(2) Provisions for ensuring that 

personnel who are not performing 

duties are provided an opportunity as 

well as accommodations for restorative 

rest. 

(3) The condition for departure from 

the exemption is based on the Site VP’s 

[Vice President’s] (or his duly assigned 

designee’s) determination that adequate 

staffing is available to meet the 

requirements of 10 CFR 26.205(c) and 

(d). 

Returning to Work Hour Controls 

The licensee must return to work hour 

controls when the Site VP (or designee) 

determines that sufficient relief crews 

are available to restore normal shift 

rotation. 

Waterford 3 utilizes staffing rosters 

tied to a departmental or organizational 

function, known as watch bills, to 

monitor compliance with the fatigue 

rule requirements. Capability to restore 

normal shift rotation would be 

ascertained via restoration of the watch 

bill process. Upon exiting the 

exemption, the work hour controls in 

Section 26.205(c) and (d) apply and the 

requirements in Section 26.205(3)(b) 

must be met. 

Authorized by Law 

As stated above, this exemption 

would apply to the storm crew 

sequestered on site. The licensee’s 

request states that adherence to all work 

hour controls could impede the 

licensee’s ability to use whatever staff 

resources may be necessary to respond 

to a plant emergency and ensure that the 

plant maintains a safe and secure status. 

As stated above, 10 CFR 26.9 allows the 

NRC to grant exemptions from the 

requirements of 10 CFR 26.205(c) and 

(d). The NRC staff has determined that 

granting of the licensee’s proposed 

exemption will not result in a violation 

of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended, or the Commission’s 

regulations. Therefore, the exemption is 

authorized by law. 

No Undue Risk to Public Health and 

Safety 

The underlying purposes of 10 CFR 

26.205(c) and (d) are to prevent 

impairment from fatigue due to 

duration, frequency, or sequencing of 

successive shifts. Based on the above 

evaluation, no new accident precursors 

are created by utilizing whatever staff 

resources may be necessary to respond 

to a plant emergency and ensure that the 

plant maintains a safe and secure status; 

therefore, the probability of postulated 

accidents is not increased. Also, the 

consequences of postulated accidents 

are not increased, because there is no 

change in the types of accidents 

previously evaluated. Therefore, there is 

no undue risk to public health and 

safety. 

Consistent With Common Defense and 

Security 

The proposed exemption would allow 

the licensee to utilize whatever staff 

resources may be necessary to respond 

to a plant emergency and ensure that the 

plant maintains a safe and secure status. 

This change to the operation of the plant 

has no relation to security issues. 

Therefore, the common defense and 

security is not impacted by this 

exemption. 

Otherwise in the Public Interest 

The proposed exemption would 

increase the availability of licensee staff 

to perform additional duties to ensure 

that the plant is in a safe configuration 

during weather-related emergencies. 

Therefore, granting this exemption is in 

the public interest. 

4.0 Conclusion 

Accordingly, the Commission 

concludes that granting the requested 

exemption is consistent with existing 

regulation at 10 CFR 26.207(d), ‘‘Plant 

emergencies,’’ which allows the licensee 

to not meet the requirements of 10 CFR 

26.205(c) and (d) during declared 

emergencies as defined in the licensee’s 

emergency plan. The 10 CFR part 26 

Statements of Consideration (73 FR 

17148; March 31, 2008), state that ‘‘Plant 

emergencies are extraordinary 

circumstances that may be most 

effectively addressed through staff 

augmentation that can only be 

practically achieved through the use of 

work hours in excess of the limits of 

§ 26.205(c) and (d).’’ The objective of the 

exemption is to ensure that the control 

of work hours do not impede a 

licensee’s ability to use whatever staff 

resources may be necessary to respond 

to a plant emergency and ensure that the 

plant maintains a safe and secure status. 

The actions described in the 

exemption request and submitted 

procedures are consistent with the 

recommendations in NUREG–1474, 

‘‘Effect of Hurricane Andrew on the 

Turkey Point Nuclear Generating 

Station from August 20–30, 1992.’’ Also 

consistent with NUREG–1474, NRC staff 

expects the licensee would have 

completed a reasonable amount of 

hurricane preparation prior to the need 

to sequester personnel, in order to 

minimize personnel exposure to high 

winds. 

The NRC staff has reviewed the 

exemption request from certain work 

hour controls during conditions of high 

winds and recovery from high-wind 

conditions. Based on the considerations 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
12140 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 43 / Friday, March 4, 2011 / Notices 

discussed above, the NRC staff has 

determined that (1) The proposed 

exemption is authorized by law, (2) 

there is a reasonable assurance that the 

health and safety of the public will not 

be endangered by the proposed 

exemption, (3) such activities will be 

consistent with the Commission’s 

regulations and guidance, and (4) the 

issuance of the exemption will not 

endanger the common defense and 

security or the health and safety of the 

public. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, ‘‘Finding of 

no significant impact,’’ the Commission 

has previously determined that the 

granting of this exemption will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment (76 FR 5408; 

January 31, 2011). 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance.
