SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC 

is withdrawing draft RIS 2017–XX 

‘‘Status of Regulatory Actions Taken to 

Address Gas Accumulation in 

Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat 

Removal, and Containment Spray 

Systems’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML16244A787). The NRC published a 

notice requesting public comment on 

this RIS in the Federal Register on 

February 13, 2017 (82 FR 10504). The 

NRC issues RISs to communicate with 

stakeholders on a broad range of 

matters. The draft RIS informed affected 

entities that licensees who choose not to 

implement two voluntary industry 

efforts to address gas accumulation 

issues must ensure that systems remain 

operable with respect to the potential 

for accumulation of gas, in accordance 

with their plant-specific technical 

specifications and their plants’ licensing 

basis. Generic programmatic and 

licensing concerns with respect to gas 

accumulation were identified through 

the NRC’s review of responses to 

Generic Letter (GL) 2008–01, ‘‘Managing 

Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core 

Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and 

Containment Spray Systems,’’ dated 

January 11, 2008 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML072910759). 

As a result of its review of comments 

received on the RIS, the NRC has 

determined that final issuance of this 

RIS is not necessary. The agency 

received comments on the RIS from the 

Nuclear Energy Institute (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML17079A134), 

Southern Nuclear (ADAMS No. 

ML17081A016), and the Tennessee 

Valley Authority (ADAMS No. 

ML17081A017). Among other things, 

these comments pointed out that much 

of the guidance discussed in the RIS 

was issued after GL 2008–01, and 

suggested that discussing that guidance 

might confuse licensees about whether 

they need to perform additional actions 

in response to GL 2008–01. The NRC 

previously issued plant-specific closure 

letters following its review of licensee 

information submitted in response to GL 

2008–01 and determined that no 

additional action was required. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 8th day 

of September 2017. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

Alexander D. Garmoe, 

Chief (Acting), Generic Communications 

Branch, Division of Policy and Rulemaking, 

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
