Meeting with Industry on Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Sump Performance 

On August 23 and 24, 2007, the staff met with representatives of the Nuclear Energy Institute 

(NEI), licensees, and strainer vendors to discuss GSI-191, PWR Sump Performance. Vendors 

and licensees presented results of integrated head loss testing (including chemical effects) at 

several plants. The results generally showed success, though some high-fiber plants are 

considering additional debris reduction measures or revised assumptions for testing. Many 

plants have not yet completed testing. Finally, participants discussed an NRC content guide 

recently issued for final licensee responses to Generic Letter 2004-02, “Potential Impact of 

Debris Blockage on Emergency Recirculation During Design Basis Accidents at PressurizedWater Reactors.” The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for October 24, 2007.

Part 26, Subpart K, Fitness-for-Duty Program Guidance for New Nuclear Power Construction 

Sites (NEI 06-06). NEI presented an overall approach of the guidance document that supports 

industry=s implementation of the final rule. The staff provided general feedback on the proposed 

guidance document and noted that it addresses most of the requirements in Subpart K provision 

of the final rule. The staff also emphasized the need to reconsider the proposed low random 

drug and alcohol testing rate. NEI agreed to reconsider the random test rate and will respond to 

staff formal comments as they are made available. 

Washington State University (WSU) Submitted Application for High-Enriched Uranium to LowEnriched Uranium Fuel Conversion

On August 15, 2007, WSU submitted an application for conversion of the WSU Nuclear 

Radiation Center 1 MW TRIGA research reactor from high-enriched to low-enriched uranium 

fuel. Based on an agreement that had been reached with the U.S. Department of Energy to 

allow the current round of conversions to be completed within DOE=s commitments to Congress, 

the staff had expected this application to be submitted in March 2007 to support conversion in 

2008. If no significant technical issues arise, the staff=s is planning to complete the conversion to 

meet DOE=s schedule. Conversion of research and test reactors from high- to low-enriched 

uranium is in accordance with 10 CFR 50.64 and supports U.S. non-proliferation policies.

Staff Readiness Assessment (C-1) Visit to Proposed Levy County, Florida, Site

On August 20 and 21, 2007, staff from NRO, the Office of Nuclear Safety and Incident 

Response, and NRO=s environmental review contractor, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory 

visited the proposed Levy County, Florida, site for the upcoming combined license (COL) 

application that Progress Energy has indicated that it will submit in mid-2008. The purpose of 

the visit was to familiarize the staff with the proposed site and to begin establishing working 

relationships with the applicant and local agencies. Topics discussed during the visit included 

hydrology, meteorology, ecology, radiation protection, socioeconomics, and alternative sites. 

This visit is part of the pre-application readiness assessment activities planned by the staff for all 

COL sites. 

Design-Centered Working Group discussions on Inservice Inspection (ISI) and Inservice Testing 

(IST)

On August 29, 2007, staff communicated to the New Plant Working Group (NPWG) the status of 

recent Design-Centered Working Group discussions on COL application level of detail for ISI 

and IST programs. The staff explained that the expected level of detail in COL applications for 

the ISI and IST operational programs (i.e., more for IST and less for ISI) is attributed to 

differences in the programs as reflected in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers 

(ASME) Code requirements for those programs. The staff also reminded meeting participants 

that a single reference to the ASME Code was insufficient because a Design Certification 

Document reference to an early Code Edition (e.g., 1989 Edition), staff review, and certification 

may not have addressed important operational events. No issues were raised by the NPWG 

members. 

Issuance of Safety Evaluation Report (SER) for the Vogtle Early Site Permit (ESP) Application

On August 30, 2007, the staff issued its SER, for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant ESP 

application. The SER documents the staff's review of nuclear safety aspects of the ESP 

application, including a description of the staff's remaining unresolved issues in the form of open 

items. The NRC will allow 14 days for Southern Nuclear Operating Company to review the SER 

for proprietary information. After the 14-day proprietary review waiting period, the SER will be 

made publicly available in ADAMS, and will also be posted on the NRC website at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-licensing/esp/vogtle.html. The ADAMS accession number for 

the SER package is ML071581032.
