Meeting With Atomic Energy Control Board
On March 8, 1999, Robert Gallo, Chief of the Operator Licensing and Human Performance Branch, Frank Gillespie, Deputy Director, Division of Inspection Program Management, and members of their staff, met with their counterparts from the Canadian Atomic Energy Control Board. The meeting, which was held at the NRC's White Flint offices, included comparative discussions of the operator licensing organization and practices in the United States and Canada, with emphasis on licensed operator training program accreditation and evaluation, licensee involvement in the examination process, and the NRC examiner training and certification program.
Meeting with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) and Industry Representatives on Fuel Burnup Extension
On March 10, 1999, the staff of the Reactor Systems Branch in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and the NRC Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) met with representatives from the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI ), Electric Power Research Institute, and utilities on the issue of licensing criteria related to fuel burnup extension. This meeting was a continuation of previous discussions on plans both at the NRC and in the industry to identify and address those technical issues that must be resolved in order to permit higher fuel burnup limits. NEI presented an approach to this issue which the staff will pursue with the industry in subsequent meetings. The RES staff also will conduct a facilitated meeting with experts on fuel design in the future to discuss this issue. Industry representatives were invited to participate in the RES meeting.
Wolf Creek
On October 27, 1998, a request was made under 10 CFR 50.80 to transfer control of Kansas City Gas & Electric's (KGE) and Kansas City Power & Light Company's (KCPL) possessory interests in the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) license to Westar Energy, a new company to be formed at the time of the merger. Currently, KGE and KCPL each own 47 percent of WCGS. Kansas Electric Power Cooperative (KEPCO) owns the remaining 6 percent. With the change, Westar would own 94 percent and KEPCO 6 percent.
On February 18, 1999, KEPCO filed a petition to intervene and requested a hearing regarding the anticompetitive consequences of the application. In response to the petition, on March 2, 1999, the Commission issued an Order to the applicants and petitioner involved in the Wolf Creek 50.80 merger request to file briefs by March 16, 1999, regarding the elimination of the NRC's practice of performing antitrust reviews. The Order was also published in the Federal Register, and copies were sent to DOJ, FERC, and NEI, for comment by March 31, 1999. The Commission will make its decision after review of the briefs/comments. The staff will continue with its review of the other areas (i.e., financial qualifications, decommissioning funding, technical qualifications, and foreign ownership) in parallel with the Commission's effort.
Diablo Canyon
On March 4, 1999, the NRC issued the draft SE for the Diablo Canyon ISTS. Diablo Canyon is one member of the Four Loop Owners Group (FLOG), along with Comanche Peak, Wolf Creek, and Callaway. The licensee will be submitting their comments in early April and the final SE is scheduled to be issued by April 30, 1999.
LaSalle Units 1 and 2
On March 8, 1999, Commonwealth Edison announced a revised restart schedule for LaSalle Unit 2 that moves the date for mode change up by approximately one month. The licensee had previously planned to enter startup mode on May 2, 1999, and be at full power by June 1, 1999. However, due to efficiencies gained during the completion of bulk maintenance and modifications, the licensee projects that it will change modes on April 7, 1999, and be at full power by April 19, 1999. Remaining activities consist of testing and core reload. The unit has been shut down since September 1996. The NRC will conduct an operational readiness assessment inspection and meet with the licensee prior to restart.

Gore-Primakov Commission
In preparation for the March 23-25, 1999, meetings of the U.S.-Russia Joint Commission on Economic and Technological Cooperation (known as the Gore-Primakov Commission, or GPC), OIP staff has attended meetings of the GPC Points of Contact, of the Deliverables Committee, and of the Energy Policy Committee.
One of the most prominent activities in the nuclear area which is being carried out under the Commission's aegis is the conversion of the reactor cores of Russia's three plutonium production reactors to a design that does not produce weapons-grade plutonium. At the September 1997 meeting of the Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission (the predecessor of the GPC), NRC Chairman Jackson and Russian Gosatomnadzor Chairman Vishnevsky signed a "Joint Statement Concerning Enhancement of Regulatory Oversight of Core Conversion Activities," and noted that their agencies would enter into implementing agreements as appropriate to accomplish their objectives. At the GPC NRC and GAN will sign an "Arrangement for the Exchange of Information and Cooperation to Enhance Regulatory Oversight of Core Conversion Activities."
As a result of commitments made by Presidents Yeltsin and Clinton at their summit in Moscow in September 1998, new directions in the area of nuclear safety and security cooperation have been approved, including the establishment of a Nuclear Committee at the Gore-Primakov Commission. This committee will consider a number of broad issues related to nuclear economic, scientific, and technological cooperation; will find solutions to existing problems and develop new directions and mechanisms of cooperation aimed at improving U.S.-Russian cooperation, and will facilitate cooperation between Russian ministries and U.S. agencies in the nuclear area. Participants in the Committee will include senior U.S. and Russian officials having expertise in nuclear material and energy-related matters.

Susquehanna Unit 1: Failure of RHR Injection Valve Stem
This updates previously provided information about RHR injection control valves.
On Susquehanna Unit 1, PP&L discovered that the valve disk of the "B" residual heat removal (RHR) injection control valve had separated from the valve stem. The stem was found severed at the top thread where the stem would thread into the valve disk. The valve disk had failed in the closed position, which would have prevented injection into the vessel from the "B" loop of RHR. On Susquehanna Unit 2, PP&L discovered a crack in the valve stem of the "A" RHR injection control valve that effected 75% of the cross section of the valve stem at the valve stem/disk connection. The internals for both the effected Unit 1 "B" and Unit 2 "A" RHR injection control valves have been replaced. The Unit 1 "A" and the Unit 2 "B" RHR injection control valves were ultrasonically inspected and determined to be acceptable. Both the Unit 1 and 2 RHR systems are currently considered to be operable.
PP&L preliminarily has concluded that the cracking failure on the Unit 1 valve was intergranular in nature and the propagating mechanism may be hydrogen-assisted, with an influence of stress corrosion cracking. PP&L preliminarily concluded that the initiating site for the crack was related to the high level of mechanical stress associated with the 2200 ft-lb of torque used to assemble the stem into the disk. The Unit 2 valve is still undergoing analysis.
PP&L has formed several teams to investigate the root causes of the valve stem failures as well as to assess the PP&L response to these failures. PP&L has kept the Region I and NRC Headquarters staffs informed of the status of the valves and the PP&L investigation via conference calls on March 1 and March 10, 1999. PP&L expects to complete its investigations of this event by about March 20, 1999. NRC Regional and Headquarters staff have performed limited inspections and are closely monitoring PP&L activities for potential generic implications. Additional NRC inspection is planned following completion of the PP&L investigation.
Meeting with Radiation Safety Officers from Broad Scope Research and Development Programs to Discuss 10 CFR 32.72(a)(2)
On March 8, 1999, Region I staff met with Radiation Safety Officers (RSOs) from six broad scope licensees who manufacture radioactive drugs for human use research studies. The RSOs requested the meeting to discuss their concerns regarding the requirements of 10 CFR 32.72(a)(2), which requires that an applicant for authorization to manufacture radioactive drugs for human use submit evidence to the NRC that they are registered or licensed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a drug manufacturer. According to the RSOs, the FDA will not license them as drug manufacturers if they are solely manufacturing radioactive drugs for human use research purposes, and that alternatives provided in the regulation are not practical.
The licensees proposed to submit a request for exemption from this requirement and the staff agreed to give the request careful consideration.
NRC Staff Meeting with Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company
On March 10, 1999, Don Davis, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (CY), Russ Mellor, Vice-President, Operations and Decommissioning and members of his staff met with James Wiggins, Deputy Regional Administrator, George Pangburn, Director, Division of Nuclear Materials Safety, and members of his staff. Tom Fredrichs, Project Manager, represented the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. The licensee had requested the meeting to discuss the status of the Haddam Neck facility and CY's transition plans for a Decommissioning Operations Contractor. The licensee expects to award a decommissioning contract by early April 1999 and complete the transition within the next several months. Readiness self-assessments for each department and mid-course self-assessments were outlined as some of the tools that CY expects to use during the transition period. Regional inspection of the decommissioning and the transition to using a Decommissioning Operations Contractor continues.
March Meeting of the Maine Yankee Community Advisory Panel
On the evening of March 11, 1999, a representative from the Division of Nuclear Materials Safety attended a public meeting of the Community Advisory Panel (CAP) on Decommissioning Maine Yankee. Invited guests at this meeting were four members of the Connecticut Yankee Community Decommissioning Advisory Committee (CDAC). In addition to the twelve CAP members and guests, the meeting was attended by over forty members of the public, local media, and Maine Yankee employees and contractors. Primary discussions at this meeting involved donation of an approximate 200-acre parcel of the site to a non-profit organization, decommissioning and regulatory updates, and an update on a planned ISFSI (Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation) for the site. Significant public comments were received on the land donation issue. The CAP Chairman requested that, at the next meeting on April 29, 1999, the NRC provide a discussion of fuel storage security issues and that representatives from NRC and EPA discuss the NRC license termination annual dose limit of 25 millirem versus the EPA standard of 15 millirem.
