Robinson license renewal SER presented to ACRS

NRC staff presented the results of its evaluation of the H. B. Robinson Unit 2 license renewal application to the Advisory Committee for Reactor Safeguards (ACRS). The staff issued the safety evaluation report (SER) with open items for Robinson on August 25, 2003. The staff presented an overview of the SER, the subsequent resolution of the open items, and the findings of the associated onsite audit and inspections. The ACRS members commented that the license renewal application and the staffÕs SER were of good quality. The final SER is due to be completed by January 21, 2004.

Brunswick, Robinson look to dry cask storage

Dry cask storage RFP for Brunswick and Robinson plants was announced today by Progress Energy. The utility expects to choose one vendor to supply casks for both sites. Both plants have been transporting spent fuel to the utility's Harris plant for wet storage. "We plan to operate our plants for many years and evaluating all options for interim spent fuel storage makes the most sense for our plants and our customers," said C.S. "Scotty" Hinnant, Progress' senior vice president and chief nuclear officer.Ê "License renewal is under review by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for Robinson and plans are underway to file for a Brunswick license renewal in 2004.Ê In addition, the rail containers currently used to ship spent fuel by the company will need to be relicensed or replaced after 2005.Ê Given these factors, the decision has been made to evaluate all options." [Source: Progress Energy press release, "Progress Energy exploring dry nuclear fuel storage facilities at Robinson, Brunswick nuclear plants", April 30, 2003]

Status of License Renewal Activities: [from NRC's June 20 letter to Congress, containing status report for period of April 1-30]

Robinson Unit 2 Renewal Application

Environmental requests for additional information were issued by NRC in October 2002, and the responses were received in January 2003. The staff is reviewing the responses and is preparing the draft SEIS, which is scheduled to be issued by May 2003. The safety requests for additional information were issued in February 2003, and the applicantÕs responses were received in April 2003. The staff is reviewing the applicantÕs responses and preparing to issue the safety evaluation report by August 2003, which will identify any remaining open items.
