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.
