French Nuclear Energy Society Conference for Long Term Operations in Paris

On March 19, 2014, through March 20, 2014, staff participated in the French Nuclear Energy 

Society’s Conference for Long Term Operations. Many international industry and regulatory 

representatives were in attendance. Most participants were from France. Staff presented on 

the NRC’s license renewal process (ML14091A044). Following the conference sessions, on 

March 21, the staff toured the Materials Ageing Institute (MAI) near Paris, France. MAI 

performs research to support long-term operations, and the Electric Power Research Institute 

(EPRI) is one of the sponsors of the research to support activities in the United States. 

Public Meeting with Pressurized-Water Reactor Owners Group On In-Vessel Debris

Limits

On April 1, 2014, the staff held a public meeting with the Pressurized-Water Reactor Owners 

Group (PWROG) to discuss its thermal hydraulics analyses that will be used to establish new 

in-vessel debris limits. The analyses presented at this meeting focus on hot leg break 

scenarios to show that alternate flow paths in the reactor vessel provide sufficient flow for 

core cooling. The PWROG also discussed its proposed follow-on modeling and testing. Staff 

participated in discussions and provided feedback. In particular, the staff questioned the 

impact of new flow patterns in the core. The Owners Group will return for additional 

presentations on other aspects of this topic on April 16. 

Pre-licensing Public Meeting with Arizona Public Service Company

On April 2, 2014, representatives of the Arizona Public Service Company held a pre-licensing 

public meeting with the staff to discuss the licensee’s plans to submit a relief request to 

extend the reactor vessel bottom-mounted instrument (BMI) nozzle penetration #3 repair at 

Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 3, through the end of its renewed facility 

operating license. The NRC authorized temporary verbal relief for Unit 3 on November 21, 

2013.
