Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station License Renewal Public Meetings 

On May 17, 2006, the staff conducted two public meetings at the Radisson Hotel in Plymouth,

Massachusetts, to solicit comments from the public on the scope of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power

Station’s license renewal application. The meetings were conducted at 1:30 pm and 7:00 pm. 

The staff held an open house for one hour prior to each meeting to provide members of the

public with an opportunity to speak informally with staff and view NRC informational displays

and brochures.

In addition to the public meetings, the staff and its contractors conducted an environmental site

audit from May 1-4, 2006. The scoping period ends on June 16, 2006. The draft Supplemental

Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) is scheduled to be published in December 2006 and

the final SEIS is scheduled to be published in July 2007.

Staff Issues NUREG-1850 entitled “Frequently Asked Questions on License Renewal of

Nuclear Power Reactors”

On May 12, 2006, the staff published the subject NUREG. This compendium of questions and

answers is designed to inform the public on all aspects of the license renewal process and

provides information on a number of related topics such as health physics, emergency

preparedness, alternative energy sources and how to access additional information for specific

facilities. Questions were selected from past reviews, grouped into broad categories, and

answered in a clear and concise manner.

Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) Issued for Nine Mile Point License

Renewal

On May 19, 2006, the staff issued the Final Supplement 24 to NUREG-1437, “Generic

Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants,” regarding Nine Mile

Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The

Final SEIS represents the completion of the staff’s environmental review of the license renewal

application for Nine Mile Point. The SEIS includes the staff findings that there are no

environmental impacts that would preclude license renewal for an additional 20 years of

operation. 
May 19, 2006 ENCLOSURE A

The EPA is expected to issue the Notice of Availability of the final SEIS in the Federal Register

on May 26, 2006. Provided that no Federal agency refers matters in dispute in the final SEIS to

the Council on Environmental Quality, the NRC would be allowed to proceed with the renewal

actions after a 30-day period expires (June 26, 2006).

Events in Support of the Expected Vogtle Early Site Permit Application

During the week of May 8, the staff participated in a series of public outreach events near the

Vogtle site in support of the upcoming Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) Early Site

Permit (ESP) application. On May 11, 2006, the staff conducted an open house followed by a

public meeting to inform the public of the NRC’s ESP review process and to address any

questions or concerns. In support of pre-application activities for the expected August 2006

ESP submittal for the Vogtle site, the staff participated in a site tour of the proposed ESP site.

Site Audit of the North Anna Early Site Permit Application Dose Calculations 

On May 16, 2006, the staff conducted an audit of the dose calculations provided in Revision 6

of Dominion’s Early Site Permit application for the North Anna site. During the audit, the staff

found errors in General Electric’s (GE) dose calculations for its economic and simplified boiling

water reactor (ESBWR) design. The errors included the use of an inappropriate source term

for evaluating the consequences of a fuel handling accident as well as mistakes in converting

between radiological units of measure. The results of these dose calculations were used by

Dominion to justify, in part, the acceptability of the ESBWR as a surrogate design for the North

Anna site. Dominion is expected to submit corrected dose calculations and results for the

staff’s review by May 24, 2006.

Decision and Corrective Actions on Differing Professional Opinion regarding Farley Application

of Control Rod Technical Specifications

On March 8, 2006, the Regional Administrator, Region II, issued a decision on a Differing

Professional Opinion (DPO) regarding the application of Technical Specifications at Farley

(DPO-2005-007). On August 2, 2005, an NRC employee submitted a DPO regarding the

appropriate application of Technical Specifications on June 17, 2005, when two control rods in

a shutdown bank did not return to the full out position following the performance of a

surveillance procedure, and the appropriate documentation of the issue in an inspection report.

On February 15, 2006, the panel provided the results of its independent review to the Regional

Administrator. The panel concluded that Farley was in compliance with the Technical

Specifications for the plant conditions related to the control rod system on June 17 and 18,

2005, and no enforcement action is warranted. The panel also concluded that the inspection

report should have contained documentation of the inspection activities performed for this

issue. The panel recommended that management have discussions with the staff on (1) the

importance of reviewing the background information and bases for major amendments and

licensing actions, (2) the documentation requirements of Inspection Manual Chapter 0612

regarding what information should be included in inspection reports to ensure expectations are

clear and future reports accurately document all inspections performed by the staff, and (3) the

availability and purpose of regional instructions on available alternatives for resolving

disagreements on technical issues. Based on a review of the panel’s report and additional

comments from the DPO submitter, the Regional Administrator agreed with the panel’s

conclusions and recommendations. The actions to respond to the panel’s recommendations

were completed on May 18, 2006.
