NRC’S PUBLIC DOCUMENT ROOM MARKS 50 YEARS OF ANSWERING PUBLIC’S QUERIES ON NUCLEAR ENERGY

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Public Document Room (PDR) is celebrating 50 yearsof providing information to the public about the licensing and regulation of radioactive materials.

The PDR, which handled 7,423 requests for information in fiscal year 2005, has given theAmerican public a window into the operations of the Atomic Energy Commission and the NRC. Thestaff of professional librarians provides fast and accurate responses to public inquiries as part of theagency’s mission as an open and transparent regulator.

“For 50 years, the PDR has carried out its mission of providing public access to agencyinformation, making it one of the agency’s longest, continuously operating functional units,” said NRCChairman Nils J. Diaz. “As technology has evolved from typewriters and carbon paper to personalcomputers and the Internet, the agency and the PDR have kept abreast of technology to ensure thebroadest possible public access. Today, NRC documents are even more widely available through theWorld Wide Web and a Web-based version of ADAMS, the agency’s electronic documentmanagement system.”

The PDR first opened its doors Feb. 6, 1956, in the AEC’s headquarters at 1717 H Street NWin downtown Washington, D.C. That year, the AEC issued the first construction permits for largepower reactors (Indian Point and Dresden), worked closely with the State Department in the 82-nationconference that created the International Atomic Energy Agency, and participated in the firstInternational Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy.

Now located in the One White Flint Building of the NRC’s headquarters campus in Rockville,Md., the PDR handles thousands of requests each year from NRC staff, industry, interest groups andthe general public. The PDR staff assists the public by identifying, retrieving, organizing andevaluating documents and other resources in storage systems ranging from archaic to state-of-the-art,including paper, microfiche and electronic databases such as the agency’s ADAMS documentmanagement system and the NRC Web site.

The NRC’s Public Document Room is open Monday - Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.Eastern Time, with telephone service from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Queries may be submitted bytelephone to (301) 415-4737 or (800) 397-4209, or by e-mail to PDR@nrc.gov .

A. Field Process

McElmo Creek unit isa C02 flood designed to enhance oil recovery. C02 is

delivered to the unit via pipeline (KinderMorgan gas plant from the Shell Dome). The

dome is approximately 25 miles north ofthe McElmo Creek Unit. The method used

to flood the unit is Water/Alternating/Gas (WAG) sytem.

McElmo Creek Unit Oil Production:

C02 Purchased:

Gas Re-injection

3700 BOPD

26,000BWPD

12KCF

23KCF

Approximately 90 producing wells send full well stream, (oil, gas and water) to either

a satellite of one of 4 batteries. There are 11 satellites that function as testing facilities

for producing wells. As stated above, not all wells go into a satellite, several wells are

directed straight into a Battery. (see flow diagrams for more detail)

Oil is sold at the LACT unit at each Central Tank Battery to Giant Refinery through

Running Horse Pipeline (owned & operated by Navajo Nation)

Water is separated and re-injected via the water injection station. Gas is sent to the

Plant and processed as described below.

B. Plant and Process Overview

The McElmo Creek Compression Plant serves tertiary recovery operations for the

McElmo Creek Field. The goal ofthe Plant is to receive produced gas through a

gathering system, pressure the gas up to a suitable working pressure then re-inject the

gas to maintain reservoir pressure. The natural gas is injected with produced water in a

dual injection system. Due to varying water injection demands in the field, and to the

number ofwells being serviced at any time, the Plant inlet volume can vary between

10 and 18 million standard cubic feet per day (MSCFD).

To describe the plant process in more detail, the gas is processed in three main steps:

inlet separation, compression and re-injection.

Inlet Separation. The inlet separation consists of an inlet slug receiver which collects

free liquids. The gas then passes through filter vessels which collect any incoming

solids.

Compression. The Plant consists offour high-speed electrically-driven reciprocating

compressors which utilize 6300 Brake Horsepower (BHP). Each compressor consists

offour stages which raise the pressure ofthe incoming gas from 40 psig to 2900 psig.

Each stage has a dedicated aerial cooler and liquid scrubber vessel. On the largest

compressor, inter stage dehydration takes place to remove water for corrosion

mitigation.
I~\

Re-Injection. The four units discharge into a single header, where purchased C02 is

co-mingled to achieve a daily injection goal of24 MSCFD. The gas is then distributed

to the field. During Plant upsets, additional C02 is purchased to meet the daily

injection goal.

NRC TO DISCUSS 2004 PERFORMANCE AT ST. LUCIE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff is scheduled to meet with Florida Power & Light

officials May 16 to discuss the NRC’s annual assessment of safety performance for 2004 at the St.

Lucie nuclear power plant, located in Jensen Beach, Fla. 

The 3:00 p.m. meeting at the St. Lucie Plant Visitor’s Center is open to public observation. 

Before the meeting ends, NRC staff will be available to answer public questions on the plant’s safety

performance, as well as the agency’s role in ensuring safe operation of the facility.

“Each year the NRC staff rates the performance of the St. Lucie plant and all of the nation’s

other commercial nuclear power plants,” NRC Region II Administrator William Travers said. “This

meeting gives us a chance to discuss our assessment with the company, local officials and residents

near the plant. Our aim is to make this information available to the public and answer any questions

people may have about our oversight.”

 The NRC uses color-coded inspection findings and performance indicators to assess

performance. The colors start with “green” and increase to “white,” “yellow” or “red,” commensurate

with the safety significance of the issues involved. 

Overall, the St. Lucie plant operated safely during 2004, but the NRC said the plant did have

one “white” performance indicator for unplanned shutdowns that carried over into early 2004 from the

previous year. A subsequent NRC inspection found no further issues in that area. As a result of that

performance, the NRC plans to conduct only routine inspections at the plant with the exception of

activities related to reactor head replacement.

A letter sent from the NRC Region II Office to plant officials addresses the performance of the

plant during the period and will serve as the basis for the meeting discussion. It is available on the

NRC web site at www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/LETTERS/stl_2004q4.pdf .

Routine inspections are performed by NRC Resident Inspectors assigned to the plant and by

specialists from the Region II Office in Atlanta, and the agency’s headquarters in Rockville, Md.

###
§ 2641.105 Advice. ( a ) *Agency ethics officials.* Current or former employees or others who have questions about 18 U.S.C. 207 or about this part 2641 should seek advice from a designated agency ethics official or another agency ethics official. The agency in which an individual formerly served has the primary responsibility to provide oral or written advice concerning a former employee's post-employment activities. An agency ethics official, in turn, may consult with other agencies, such as those before whom a post-employment communication or appearance is contemplated, and with the Office of Government Ethics.
( b ) *Office of Government Ethics.* The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) will provide advice to agency ethics officials and others concerning 18 U.S.C. 207 and this part 2641. OGE may provide advice orally or through issuance of a written advisory opinion and shall, as appropriate, consult with the agency or agencies concerned and with the Department of Justice.
( c ) *Effect of advice.* Reliance on the oral or written advice of an agency ethics official or the OGE cannot ensure that a former employee will not be prosecuted for a violation of 18 U.S.C. 207. However, good faith reliance on such advice is a factor that may be taken into account by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the selection of cases for prosecution. In the case in which OGE issues a formal advisory opinion in accordance with subpart C of 5 CFR part 2638, the DOJ will not prosecute an individual who acted in good faith in accordance with that opinion. *See* 5 CFR 2638.309.
( d ) *Contacts to seek advice.* A former employee will not be deemed to act on behalf of any other person in violation of 18 U.S.C. 207 when he contacts an agency ethics official or other employee of the United States for the purpose of seeking guidance concerning the applicability or meaning of section 207 as applied to his own activities.
( e ) *No personal attorney-client privilege.* A current or former employee who discloses information to an agency ethics official, to a Government attorney, or to an employee of the Office of Government Ethics does not personally enjoy an attorney-client privilege with respect to such communications.
