Hi Angela How was your trip to Japan? I am the Radiation Safety Officer for RSO and was notified by Ed Roach from the Ops Center last Saturday when you needed to get your dosimeter to go to Japan. Apparently, when you filled in the dosimeter authorization form, you forgot to fill in your HRMS number on the form. The HRMS number is the 4 or 5 digit number which appears at the top of the online time sheet form which you use to enter your work hours for each pay period. When you get back in the office, can you please give me a call and I can have you fill in this number on the dosimeter form?
Thanks

FYI, Natalya, USAID is sorting this out and may contact you as she talks to her contacts in Washington about whether there was an agreement to pay for the Chairman's travel and hotel or not. If not, you can be reimbursed by NRC. The hotel can fax you receipts if needed. Danielle Sent from an NRC BlackBerry.

Natalya,
Also, Angela Coggins (NRC) mentioned that her hotel bill this morning included the room charges. We were under the impression that when we check out the only charge to the NRC travelers is for incidental expenses. Somehow USAID is billed for the room charges separately.
Does that make sense? Or is the NRC traveler paying the room charges and we put it on our voucher?

CS 658 of 2412 balance I believe the disadvantages are preponderant. I recommend that the AEC adopt a policy of discouraging further use of pressure-suppression containments, and that such designs not be accepted for construction per- nits filed after a date to be decided (say two years after the policy is adopted).
2. Discussion
A pressure-suppression containment system has some means of absorbing the heat of vaporization of the steam in the fluid released to the containment volume. In all three GE models, the steam is forced to bubble through a pool of water and is condensed. In the Westinghouse design, the steam is condensed by flowing it over ice cubes. The objective is to reduce the pressure in the containment through "suppressing" the partial pressure of the steam by condensing it. To be'effective, pressure suppression must take place concurrent with the flow of steam into the containment, and its effectiveness is therefore dependent on the rate at which steam is generated or released. If some unexpected event sliould result in steam generation or flow greater than the suppression capability, then the steam that is not condensed would add an increment of containment pressure. Since the objective of pressure suppression is to permit use of a smaller con- tainment, rated at lower pressure than would be required without suppres- sion, then incomplete suppression would lead to overpressurizing a pressure- suppression containmenc so desigx±d.
It way be noted that the Stone and Webster "subatmospheric" design has little effect on the initial containment pressure rise due to an accident, and is therefore not a "pressure-suppression containment" for the present discussion. In this design, chilled water sprays are used to reduce "the containment pressure, and therefore the containment leakage, quickly after a postulated LOCA. The pressure capability and volume are designed to take the full accident, without credit for condensation.
Like all containments, the pressure-suppression designs are re.uired to include margins in capability. Experiments have been conducted by GE and Westinghouse to establish the rate of steam generation that can be accommodated. The pressure-suppression pools, ice condenser, etc., are then sized for the double-ended break steam flow, with margins for un- equal distribution of steam to the many modular units of which the con- denser is composed. The rate and distribution margins are probably ade- quate.
More difficult to assess is the margin needed when applying the experi- mental data to the reactor design. Recently we have reevaluated the IO-year-old GE test results, and decided on a more conservative interpre- tation than has been used all these years.by GE (and accepted by us). We
CS 659 of 2412 and its bases to make less probable any comparable misinterpretation of this design.
Since the pressure-suppression containments are smaller than conventional "dry" containments, the same amount of hydrogen, formed in a postulated accident, would constitute a higher volume or weight percentage of the containment atmosphere. Therefore, such hydrogen generation tends to be a more serious problem in pressure-suppression containments. The small GE designs (both the light-bulb-and-doughnut and the over-under configura- tions) have to be inerted because the hydrogen assumed (per Safety Guide 7) would immediately form an explosive mixture. The GE Mod 3 and the Westing- house ice condenser designs (they have equal volumes) require high-flow circulation and mixing systems to ensure even dilution of the hydrogen to avoid flammable mixtures in one or more compartments (see following for an additional serious disadvantage of this needed recirculation and its valves). By contrast, the dry containments only require recombination or purging starting weeks after the accident.
All pressure-suppression containments are divided into two (or more) major volumes, the steam flowing from one to the other through the condensing water or ice. Any steam that flows from one of these volumes to the other without being condensed is a potential source of unsuppressed pressure. Neither the strength nor the leakage rate of the divider (between the volumes) is tested in the currently approved programs for initial or period- ic inservice testing. Some effort is now underway to devise a leakage test, but none has so far been accomplished.
Because of limi&-td strength against collapse, the "receiving" volume has to be provided with vacuum relief. In all designs except GE Mod 111, this function is performed by a group of valves. Such a valve stuck open is a large bypass of the condensation scheme; the amount of steam that thus escapes condensation can overpressurize the containment.
Valves do not have a very good reliability record. Recently, five of the vacuum relief valves for the pressure-suppression containment of Quad Cities 2 were found stuck partly open. Moreover, these valves had been modified to include redundant "valve-closed" position indicators and test- ing devices, because of recent Reg concerns. The redundant position in- dicators were found not to indicate correctly the particular parcly open situation that obtained on the five failed valves. We have only recently begun to pay serious attention to these valves, so previous !urveillance programs have not generally included them. The GE Mod 111 design has an elegant water-leg seal that obviates the need for vacuum relief valves.
The high-capacity atmosphere recirculation systems provided for hydrogen mixing involve additional valves which, if open at the wrong time, would constitute a serious steam bypass and thus a potential source of containment
CS 660 of 2412 -.. - -. I -. _.... . provided even for single failures, open and...- closed, of these valves... This..- J is a serious mission, since opening at the wrong time leads to over-pressur- ization, while failure to open when needed inhibits recirculation.
The amaller size of the pressure-suppression containment, plus the require- ment for the primary system to be contained in one of the two volumes, has led to overcrowding and limitation of access to reactor and primary system components for surveillance and in-service testing. Separate shielding of con:onents has tended to subdivide into compartments the volume occupied by ýhe primary system. (Some compartmentation of dry containments also occurs.) A pipe break in one of these compartments creates a pressure differential; each compartment must be designed to withstand this pressure. A method of testing such designs hasnot been developed.
What are the safety advantages of pressure suppression, apart from the cost saving. GE people talk about a decontamination factor of 30,000 from scrubbing of iodine out of the steam by the water. This is hard to swallow, but some decontamination undoubtedly occults. One wonders why GE doesn't do an experiment to measure it, and get credit for it. The ice condenser decontamination is measurable but not significant.
Recirculaticn of the containment atmosphere through the ice has the potential for rapidly reducing the containment pressure by cooling its atmosphere. But in the present design there's not eougi irce.fD: t.hat, - sprays are furnished (in both volumes), just as in dry containments. Re- circulation through the water in the GE designs seems not to have been tried, but may be necessary in Mod 111 for hydrogen control. We have no analysis whether-any significant cooling will result.
It is by no means clear that the pressure-suppression contai--ents are, over- all, significantly cheaper than dry containments when all costs are included. Information on this point would be useful in evaluating costs and benefits, and-should be obtained.

POSSIBLE LEGISLATION - Rep. Markey says he's working on legislation that, according to E&E News, would impose a moratorium on licensing of new reactors or license extensions for existing plants until new safety requirements are in place. E&E reported that Markey said his bill would also require nuclear reactors, spent nuclear fuel pools and nuclear reactor cooling systems to withstand earthquakes, tsunamis and strong storms. And it would require nuclear power plants to have emergency backup power systems to help withstand longer power outages. The legislation would bump up backup diesel generating capacity from seven days to 14 days and backup battery generating capacity from four hours to 72 hours. Finally, the legislation would require spent fuel to be moved from pools to safer, dry-cask storage "as soon as possible." Here's a link: http://www.eenews.net/eenewspm/2011/03/29/6

With a developing meltdown in Japan, the world is taldng a wary look at the safety of nuclear energy. Here are Saporito's five reasons the nuke plant in our own back yard is apocalyptically unsafe.

Hi Patti,
The meeting with JANTI is scheduled for Friday afternoon with Eric Leeds, NRR, and based on the Chairman's schedule, we would like to choose a half an hour within the 2:30 - 5:00 PM timeframe. In order to nail down a time by this afternoon, I will provide in this email some background about The Japan Nuclear Technology Institute (JANTI).

For background about the meeting with JANTI:
Dr. Michio Ishikawa, Chief Advisor and former-president of JANTI, will be visiting the area on the Friday, March 25, and has meetings planned with NEI and most likely INPO. JANTI has requested a meeting with NRC. JANTI is an organization that was closely modeled after INPO. NRC met with them in December 2009 in Tokyo. During that meeting, they explained their initiative to work and coordinate with industry, and the significant strides they have made in recent years. In light of recent events, they will obviously be re-assessing things and will have challenges to confront. It would

Hi Heather,
The Japan Nuclear Technology Institute (JANTI) has requested a meeting with NRC. JANTI is an organization that was closely modeled after INPO. Chairman Klein met with them in December 2009 in Tokyo. During that meeting, they explained their initiative to work and coordinate with industry, and the significant strides they have made in recent years. We'd like to set up a meeting with Eric and Mr. Ishikawa, former president and current chief advisor of JANTI, on March 25th for a half hour, as requested by JANTI (see emails below). At the end ofthe meeting, we'd like the Chairman to stop in for a meet/greet, andthe Chairman agrees with this approach. It is our understanding that while JANTI is in country, they are meeting with NEI and most likely INPO.

CS 700 of 2412 Background
United Kingdom Response to Fukushima-Daiichi
The UK Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change has requested that the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Nuclear Directorate conduct an assessment on the implications of the "unprecedented events in Japan and the lessons to be learned for the UK nuclear industry." There will be an interim report published by mid-May 2011 and a final report published by December 2011. The reports will be made publicly available and will be comprehensive, wide in scope and based on the best technical advice obtained from consulting nationally and internationally with colleagues and organizations focused on nuclear safety and security.
In addition, HSE's regulatory reviews of the Areva EPR and Westinghouse AP1000 may not finish on-time because of the wider nuclear safety review launched in the wake of the accident at Fukushima. The nuclear safety review, conducted by Chief Inspector Mike Weightman, will include the EPR and AP1000 reactor designs, which have for several years now been undergoing regulatory scrutiny in the HSE's generic design assessment program. The Generic Design Assessment (GDA) program was due to close June 30, 2011, with the issuance of interim design acceptance confirmations, but the wider safety review could alter the schedule. Dr. Weightman has stated that HSE "will consider if there are implications for our new nuclear build program. It is too early to say what the impact will be on the timeframe for our work on the generic design assessment and site licensing."
United States Nuclear Safety Review Plans
The NRC staff will be establishing a senior-level agency task force to conduct a methodical and systematic review of our processes and regulations to determine whether the agency should make additional improvements to our regulatory system and make recommendations to the Commission for its policy direction. The NRC will conduct a near-term and long-term review, which will include interaction with all key stakeholders. The reports will be released to the public per normal Commission processes.
In the near term (90 days), this task force will evaluate currently available technical and operational information from the events that have occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex in Japan to identify potential or preliminary near-termfimmediate operational or regulatory issues affecting domestic operating reactors of all designs, including their spent fuel pools, in areas such as protection against earthquake, tsunami, flooding, hurricanes; station blackout and a degraded ability to restore power; severe accident mitigation; emergency preparedness; and combustible gas control.
In the longer term (90 days to six months), the task force will evaluate all technical and policy issues related to the Fukushima Daiichi event to identify potential research, generic issues, changes to the reactor oversight process, rulemakings, and adjustments to the regulatory framework that should be conducted by NRC. In addition, the task force will evaluate potential interagency issues such as emergency preparedness. The task force will provide a report with recommendations, as appropriate, to the Commission within six months from the start of the evaluation for Commission policy direction.
3 CS 701 of 2412 Western European Nuclear Regulators Association Statement on the Fukushima Accident
The Western European Nuclear Regulators Association (WENRA) met in Helsinki on March 22-23, 2011, to discuss the events in Japan, and in particular the role of nuclear safety regulators in understanding the circumstances. In response to discussions at the Council of the European Union for Energy, a WENRA task force is working to provide urgently an independent regulatory technical definition of a "stress test" and how it should be applied to nuclear facilities across Europe. This will take account of the detailed work which WENRA has done for existing reactors (safety reference levels) and for new reactors (safety objectives for new nuclear power plants). The aim of the work is to see what improvements to nuclear safety may be appropriate in light of the Fukushima nuclear accident, as far as it is understood. It will. be given to European Nuclear Safety Regulators' Group (ENSREG) to assist in its response to requests for advice from the Council of the European Union and European Commission.
The "WENRA statement on the Fukushima NPP accident" and the "First proposal about European 'stress tests" on nuclear power plants" is attached for more information.
General Background on the United Kingdom's Civil Nuclear Program
The UK has 19 nuclear power plants (NPPs) generating one-fifth of its electricity. All but one of these will be retired by 2023. Two of the reactors have applied for three-year operating extensions, but overall the UK's nuclear fleet is too old and too expensive to maintain and operate economically beyond its planned lifecycle. New-generation plants are expected to be online around 2020.
The UK's first commercial NPP began operating in 1956. From the outset of its nuclear program, the country has been self-sufficient in conversion, enrichment, fuel fabrication, reprocessing and waste treatment (although uranium must be imported). The UK Government's commitment to the future of nuclear energy is firm due to energy security concerns and the need to limit emissions. New NPPs will be built on existing nuclear power or fossil fuel plant sites, likely using the latest American or French nuclear technology. The UK Government is estimating that three new reactors could be built by 2018 and two more will be added every two years thereafter, for a grand total of 16 new NPPs. Energy experts believe that only one to seven reactors will actually be built in the UK (and not until 2023 at the earliest), with gas-fired power plants, easy and fast to build and not as carbon-intensive as coal-fired power plants, as the best short-term option as the UK's energy sector transitions to low carbon over the next two decades. Nuclear industry experts worry that overbuilding gas-fired power plants, which can run for 30 to 50 years, will slow the transition to a low carbon economy.
The British nuclear power program is one of the oldest in the world. First and second generation British reactors utilize indigenous technology and design. The first generation Magnox plants, commissioned between 1962 and 1971, are fueled by magnesium-alloy-clad natural uranium metal fuel, graphite modified, and cooled with carbon dioxide. Because of the spent fuels' chemical reactivity, the fuel cannot be stored indefinitely and must be reprocessed. The first eight plants were dual-use power and plutonium production units, later converted to civilian use. Twenty-six Magnox reactors were built in the UK and two were sold to Japan and Italy. These reactors will all be closed by 2012 for economic reasons (low thermal efficiency only rising to 28 percent). A second generation of Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs) was commissioned between 1976 and 1988. They are graphite-moderated and carbon dioxide cooled, but use enriched oxide fuel, burned to a low level. These AGRs have a high thermal efficiency (around 40 percent) due to very high coolant temperatures (more than 600 degrees Celsius). These fourteen plants were built on seven sites. Each pair was a unique design, leading to little standardization and significant
4
CS 702 of 2412 operational problems. Like the Magnox reactors, they were designed and built by the utility, using multiple contractors. In 1978, the UK decided to try a Westinghouse-designed, pressurized water reactor (PWR), since it was the most widely used design outside of that country at the time. Construction of the 1,188-MWe Sizewell B plant began in 1988 and began operation in 1995.
New Nuclear Plant Activities in the United Kingdom
In 2006, an energy policy review put replacement of the country's NPPs firmly back on the national agenda, due both to energy security concerns and the need to limit carbon emissions. New plants would be financed and built by the private sector, including waste and decommissioning costs. To achieve this, the UK Government proposed to address potential barriers to new nuclear build by streamlining the licensing process for large-scale energy infrastructure. HSE-ND designed a two- stage licensing process similar to the one in the U.S. A GDA for each type of reactor would be approved, followed by site-specific licenses. Stage 1 would focus on safety and take three years, while Stage 2 would focus on the site and operator, for a total of about three and a half years.
In November 2009, the UK Government approved 10 sites in England and Wales for new NPPs. Seven of the proposed locations are already home to nuclear plants while Bradwell was home to one in the past. Plans for any plants in Scotland, which has two existing sites, are opposed by the Scottish National Party government. The new UK Government Infrastructure Planning Commission would have to make a decision on each NPP site application within a year of receiving it, to avoid a repeat of previous lengthy inquiries. The UK Government insists that people living close to the proposed sites will have opportunities to make their views known.
As of August 2010, the UK's reactor assessment process looked increasingly likely to leave several technical issues unresolved by the time of its deadline next year. According to the tight schedule required to replace the UK's reactor fleet, the HSE must complete its assessment of the Areva (EDF Energy) UK-EPR and Westinghouse AP1 000 by June 2011, granting the most 'meaningful' GDA certificates it can. The amount of work required by the vendors to satisfy regulators by June 2011 and the rate of the regulator's progress means a number of 'outstanding issues' could remain. This would mean partial GDAs and the major European utilities would start site work and construction while the vendors complete the licensing process. Two of these potential outstanding issues are already well known: the control and instrumentation of the EPR will require Areva to install a hard-wired back up, and Westinghouse has to further justify its claims about the robustness of a novel steel-concrete-steel construction method. The UK-EPR cleared much of HSE-ND's GDA in November 2010.

CS 703 of 2412 Dr. Mike Weightman Chief Inspector of Nuclear Installations and Director of the Nuclear Directorate Health and Safety Executive
Dr. Mike Weightman is Chief Inspector of Nuclear Installations (NII) and Director of the Nuclear Directorate (ND), Health and Safety Executive (HSE), United Kingdom (UK). He has held the positions of Acting Chief ...... N Inspector and Deputy Chief Inspector of Nil, and Head of the ND Division that regulates the UK's nuclear power station sites, both operating and decommissioning. Prior to those assignments, he led the ND Division that regulates British Nuclear Fuels Limited and the nuclear fuel cycle sites including Sellafield. This ND Division is also responsible for Nil's regulatory strategy for radioactive waste management/decommissioning, and for liaison with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
Dr. Weightman has held a variety of other jobs since he joined HSE's NIl in 1988 as a Principal Inspector of Nuclear Installations. Early in his career he was a site inspector for the Magnox reactors, Heysham 2 (an Advanced Gas-cooled reactor site) and the UK research reactors. He later headed various Units in ND at Superintending Inspector level, including a policy unit. In the latter role he led the HSE project in 1995-1996 to respond to and regulate the UK Government's proposals to restructure the nuclear power industry and privatize the more modern stations. This project included license extensions of 16 sites.
Before 1988 Dr. Weightman worked in the nuclear industry for 13 years fulfilling a number of management roles in research, operations and engineering projects. He also acted as a consultant for a major engineering consultancy and for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
Dr. Weightman has represented the UK on the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Nuclear Energy Agency's Committees for the Safety of Nuclear Installations and Nuclear Regulatory Authorities. He led the UK's mission to the first review meeting of the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and Radioactive Waste Management. In 2004 Dr. Weightman led the UK at the G8 meeting in Moscow of the Heads of Nuclear Regulatory Bodies. This meeting developed principles to assist the Russian government in developing new regulatory arrangements for its nuclear industry.
Dr. Weightman has also chaired the Investigation Board that oversaw the investigation into the Potters Bar rail tragedy in which seven people lost their lives.

Employee Resources: Work Schedule and Premium Pay Guidance for Response to Events in Japan
NRC has implemented various work schedule and premium pay flexibilities as it strives to accommodate the challenging and often unpredictable work schedule and premium pay needs of employees responding to events in Japan. The Office of Human Resources (HR) has distributed information to managers, supervisors, responders, and timekeepers to summarize the options and guidelines for determining work schedules and premium pay for employees serving in and supporting the Operations Center, or working in Japan. The guidance applies to employees whose Offices/Regions determine that the employees directly support response efforts in the Operations Center and Japan even if the employees do not physically work in the Operations Center.
1
CS 731 of 2412 HR has posted the Work Schedule and Premium Pay Guidance on its intranet page and expects to add frequently asked questions. Based on questions received so far, HR notes that:
• For employees on a NEWFlex schedule, HRMS will not accept more than 11.25 hours of regular work per day. Any amount worked beyond that on a single work day must be entered as overtime or compensatory time worked rather than regular time. (Employees on Expanded Compressed schedules may work more than 11.25 regular hours per day.) • The maximum number of credit hours that an employee may carry over from one pay period to the next remains 24 credit hours. This is restricted by a governmentwide rule. • Although the guidance applies to Senior Executive Service members (executives), executives remain ineligible for premium pay or credit hours as a matter of governmentwide law.
For further information about selecting work schedules and authorizing premium pay for responders, please contact Lawrence.Davidson, 301-492-2286.

Josh,
See below. Former Commissioner Merrifield is leading a US industry delegation here in Japan. It does not look to be coordinated with the US industry efforts (INPO, GE, etc.) nor the US government efforts. Though we don't have any control over this delegation, it would seem to be more appropriate for them to work through INPO. They are trying to meet with the US Ambassador.

Evaluating Fuel Stability in Fuel Storage.Pools at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
24 March 2011
Pacific Northwest National Laboratoryrecommends an immediate study of the condition of fuel in the Fukushima DaiichiFuel Storage Pools. This informationis essential to evaluating the potentialfor zirconium fires, hydrogen production (zirconium-oxide reactions)and re-criticalityduring recovery operations. The results of this study would enable engineers to identify and evaluate alternativesfor recovery of the fissionable materialfrom the pools providing a final solution to stabilizing the fuel storagepool situation at.Fukushima Daiichi. Further,the models developed will also provide tools and insightsfor evaluating lessons learned and identifying changes to key design features and emergency preparednessplanning requirementsthat could be used to mitigate the potentialforthis type of situationin the future.
Four Japanese nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station have experienced beyond-design basis accidents as a result of the 11 March 2011 tsunami, and are now in high-risk, uncharacterized configurations. Some of the more serious concerns exist with the fuel stored in the fuel storage pools of Units 3 and 4. While Japan possesses world-class engineering and scientific capability, these reactor emergencies represent a first-of-its-kind event for the Japanese government and the nuclear industry in general. Under the present conditions, it may be difficult for the Japanese government to focus attention and resources on properly evaluating the future stability of the fuel in its fuel storage pools at Fukushima Daiichi. Once the immediate situation is stabilized there remains the additional concern of recovering the fuel and transferring it to a reprocessing facility, dry storage, or another passive safe configuration.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and other national laboratories have experience in their technical support to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in evaluating design basis accidents for spent fuel pools. Included in these analyses are the potential for exothermic zirconium fires, the generation of hydrogen gas from zirconium oxidation, and re-criticality from structural failure of the fuel. With this experience, we recognize the extreme importance of being able to assess the potential for zirconium fires and re-criticality under the current and potential future conditions of the spent fuel pools. Given the age and burn up of the fuel and the physical configuration in the pools, thermal hydraulic calculations should be performed to determine the likelihood of either of these events. The introduction of sea water into the fuel storage pools creates additional concerns about the potential corrosion mechanisms that will limit the cladding and fuel support structure survivability withoutintervention.
CS 753 of 2412 Pacific Northwest NA•IONAL LABORATORY Proudly O.,alcd byBaI e Since 196S5
Thermal-hydraulic calculations are needed to determine the temperature history of the fuel rods in the fuel storage pools on the refueling floor of each of the affected reactor buildings. These calculations could consider alternative scenarios to explain the known behavior of the systems during the accident and subsequent final stable configuration of the system. Detailed steady-state and transient analyses can be performed utilizing the COBRA-SFS code (developed at PNNL and currently in use to support US NRC evaluations of spent fuel storage systems), and commercially licensed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes such as StarCD and FLUENT. This type of analysis could provide boundary conditions for detailed analyses of the material behavior of the fuel rods, using codes such as FRAPTRAN and FRAPCON, to determine: - cladding stress - rupture configurations (e.g., clad ballooning, local rupture, the potential for large-scale 'unzipping' of the cladding) - long-term stable configurations for the fuel assemblies - evaluations of the integrity of the fuel assemblies and their potential retrievability from the pools. In addition, the effects of corrosion of cladding and fuel assembly support structures from exposure to seawater should be evaluated.
Thermal-hydraulic and material behavior analyses are also needed (in conjunction with criticality and radiological analyses) to evaluate proposed procedures for removing the fuel from the pools on the refueling floors. Such analyses can aid in interpretation of post-accident images of the material in the pools, and could also provide evaluations of the consequences of events that might occur during retrieval operations. The possibility of hydrogen generation during any recovery operation requires accurate predictions of gas volumes that could be generated in order to effectively manage the hazard using engineered features such as hydrogen absorption materials.
Neutronics analyses should be performed to evaluate the potential for a re-criticality during any proposed recovery actions. These analyses should evaluate and establish the importance of the borated sea water that has been added to the pools to preclude recriticality in the pools. The calculations should identify the minimum boron levels that need to be maintained or the equivalent reactivity effect required in the event the sea water is considered a risk to accelerated corrosion and needs to be replaced. Also, calculations of decay heat and radiation source terms in the fuel are needed to determine the cooling and shielding requirements during any recovery operation. Laboratory staff have hands-on experience performing these types of analysis for the recovery of damaged fuel from TMI, the Chernobyl recovery project, and the recovery of fuel from the Paks Unit 2 (Hungary, 2003) incident. There are a broad range of computer codes and tools for use in performing these analyses including WlMS-8, MCNP, SCALE, ORIGEN-2 and BURN.
The results of this study would provide models and valuable information which can be used to identify and evaluate alternatives for stabilizing the water chemistry in the pool and providing for the safe and permanent recovery of the fissionable material from the pools. Further, the models developed will also provide tools to provide insight into evaluating lessons learned and identifying changes in key design features and emergency preparedness planning requirements that could be used to preclude this type of situation in the future.

Evaluating Environmental Transport and Dose Consequences from Releases at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
24 March 2011
Pacific Northwest NationalLaboratory recommends an immediate evaluation of the environmental transport and dose consequences resultingfrom release events and weather patternsassociated with interim stabilization and recovery operations at the Fukushima DaiichiNuclear Power Station. PNNL further recommends maximizing environmentalmonitoring both domestically and internationallyto inform radiationprotection activities and recovery operations.
Four Japanese nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station have experienced beyond-design basis accidents as a result of the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and are now in high-risk, uncharacterized configurations. Reactor fuel in the cores of Units 1, 2 and 3 have experienced significant damage and possible melting, and serious concerns exist with the spent fuel stored in the fuel storage pools of Units 1, 2, 3 and 4. Consequences of radionculide transport through additional pathways such as soils, surface and groundwater, and ocean water, have not been thoroughly evaluated for the actual releases. While Japan possesses world-class engineering and scientific capability, these reactor emergencies represent a first-of-its- kind event for the Japanese government and the nuclear industry in general. Under the present conditions, it may be difficult for the Japanese government to focus attention and resources on properly evaluating the future consequences of environmental transport and fate of radionuclides via principal pathways, including surface and ground waters, resulting from releases during stabilization and recovery operations.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and other national laboratories have experience in evaluating environmental transport and fate of radioactive materials and dose consequences from a variety of design basis and severe accidents, resulting from technical support to DOE site cleanup operations, license renewal of existing nuclear power plants, and the siting of new nuclear reactors for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. With the detection of fission products in the U.S. (and at other locations around the world), DOE has a unique opportunity to align its environmental health physics capabilities with radiation detection expertise to provide both our government and the Japanese with a risk-informed understanding of the levels being detected. This should be expanded beyond air monitoring to include soils, water (including drinking water and marine environments), food, and biota. Atmospheric modeling, such as that provided by the National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center (NARAC), is already being used to evaluate transport of the radionculides in the vicinity of the plant or across the ocean. This information would be used as input to environmental transport and fate models to predict dose consequences to the public.

We believe such activities should be deployed immediately to help inform federal agencies and policy decision makers. Furthermore, dose consequences could be predicted from further releases from interim stabilization and recovery operations, such as unanticipated fuel damage due to chemical reactions with seawater, and the unlikely re-criticality of failed fuel in spent fuel pools.
Activities that should be undertaken include, both domestically and internationally, " deploying extensive monitoring equipment to collect environmental samples of air, water, soil, foodstuffs and beverages, and to measure external radiation dose rates, * deploying laboratory analytical capabilities to measure radioactivity in environmental samples, * assembling monitoring data needed to predict dosimetric consequences from water, soils, food, and biota environmental pathways, * conducting dose assessments and dose projections based on measurements and realistic, rather than worst-case, meteorology, models and model assumptions. In addition, we recommend modeling of possible radiological releases due to further events (beyond design basis accidents) that may be postulated, given what is known about the current state of the three damaged reactors and refueling pools at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
The impacts and outcomes of the sample collection, analytical measurements, data management, dose reconstructions, and dose projections include: " informing U.S. citizens, both at home and abroad, of appropriate protective actions, if needed, in the event of changing release conditions, " accurately characterizing the past, present, and future radiological situations to ensure that there are data to evaluate the levels of contamination, " providing reassurance, when appropriate, that the radiological consequences to US citizens are not unknown or uncertain, and * collecting and compiling baseline data that could be used for future dose reconstruction in support of reactor safety or epidemiological studies.
CS 756 of 2412 JAPANESE NUCLEAR CRISIS PNNL's Offer of Assistance and Immediate Recommendations
OFFER OF ASSISTANCE Several units at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station have experienced beyond-design-basis accidents as a result of the March 11, 2011, tsunami, and are now in high-risk, uncharacterized configurations. While Japan possesses world-class engineering and scientific capabilities, these reactor emergencies represent a first-of-a-kind event for the Japanese government and the nuclear industry in general, and are realized amid a plethora of other earthquake- and tsunami-related emergency conditions. Under such a scenario, it may be difficult for the Japanese government to focus attention and resources to fully address these challenges. PNNL is prepared to extend our scientific and technical resources to address both the immediate and longer- term challenges resulting from this event.
With a 45-year history grounded in nuclear and radiological work in support of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Hanford Site, PNNL offers leading expertise critical to solving some of the world's greatest nuclear challenges, including nuclear scientific capabilities and environmental safety experience that support a wide range of domestic and international nuclear programs. In fact, PNNL's sophisticated air monitoring systems were the first to detect measurable contamination away from the plant, including the first to detect the plume in the U.S. Another notable example of our work includes our management of the International Nuclear Safety Program (INSP) for DOE for nearly 20 years, coordinating with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) efforts to ensure safe operation and security of nuclear facilities.
Directly relevant to the challenges facing Japan is our spent fuel experience at both the Hanford Site's K Basin and in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). In both these situations, PNNL was tasked with assessing the corrosion performance of fuel cladding and fuel materials that are stored in spent fuel pools under adverse conditions in order to ensure retrieval and packaging of the degraded fuel could safely proceed. Other directly relevant international experience includes PNNL's treaty monitoring activities, extensive work at the Chornobyl nuclearplant, securing radiological sources, and enhancing the safety and security of commercial ports with radiation detection systems. Through these, and many other projects, we have developed a network of nuclear and radiological experts around the world and demonstrated our ability to execute large, complex international projects. We are often recognized for our independent technical objectivity, experience with foreign regulators, expertise to contract internationally, and the ability to form and lead multi-organizational teams.
JAPANESE NUCLEAR CRISIS OFFER OF ASSISTANCE MARCH 24, 2011 - PAGE 1
CS 757 of 2412 RECOMMENDATIONS To respond to the immediate crisis and help Japan begin recovering from it, we recommend the following three immediate actions based on the information available at this time:.
Spent Fuel Safety. The integrity of the spent fuel pools and spent nuclear fuel at Units 3 and 4 are of primary concern. If cooling cannot be maintained and temperatures rise, continued oxidation of the zircaloy cladding may lead to a highly energetic fire resulting in potential catastrophic release of contamination in Japan and beyond its borders. PNNL recommends a quick study of the condition of the fuel to determine options for stabilizing this material-including thermal-hydraulic calculations, material behavior analyses, and neutronics analyses. In addition, efforts should be undertaken to assess the corrosion potential of the fuel in the reactor and in the spent fuel pool as a function of temperature and exposure to sea water for adverse reactions that could further compromise the fuel. This is necessary to ensure safe handling or continued safe storage until further remedies can be initiated.
Contamination Impact. Because of the potential public health and societal impacts, environmental transport of radioactive contamination and dose consequences are of increasing concern to the Japanese citizens and the international community as a whole. PNNL recommends an evaluation of potential transport pathways and dose consequences based on multiple scenarios and transport mechanisms, including multi-media assessment involving food and water pathways, and, as part of this, relevant subsurface and coastal transport processes. This evaluation can be enhanced through the maximization of monitoring technology and analytical capability to inform decisions about protective actions and appropriate reassurance to the public.
* Stabilization and Recovery. Japan is in a state of crisis and we are poised to support the stabilization and recovery efforts of the nation. PNNL recommends that the expertise of the U.S. be engaged in addressing this nuclear crisis through the establishment of a partnership to develop immediate-, near-, and long-term strategies. The early focus of this partnership should be to bring the damaged reactors and spent fuel pools into an engineered- and ecologically-stable state and return the surrounding areas to beneficial use. This approach would defme objectives, identify resources, and successfully team national laboratories, industry experts, and the host country to assist in-country entities in tailoring proven methods to achieve the desired outcome of stabilization, confinement, and remediation. In addition to the challenges facing Japan, there also may be longer-term issues that the domestic nuclear industry may face as a result of these recent events. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued an Information Notice to all operating and proposed reactors in the U.S. to review the effects of the earthquake on the Japanese reactors and to consider appropriate actions to avoid similar problems domestically. PNNL has long been a valued resource to the NRC and will continue to provide support as the NRC works to ensure the safety of the U.S. fleet of reactors and fully incorporate lessons learned from the recent tragedy.
DISTINGUISHING CAPABILITIES PNNL has domain expertise in radiation detection, monitoring, and assessment; spent nuclear fuels performance and behaviors; reactor accident stabilization and environmental restoration; and reactor regulation and emergency response. A list of our distinguishing capabilities and related performance is captured on the following page.

Preparing for Stabilization of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station 24 March 2011
Pacific Northwest National Laboratoryrecommends a partnershipof national laboratories,US Federal organizations,and private enterprise in the development of immediate-, near-, and long-term strategies to address post-accidentreactor stabilization and recovery efforts in Japan.
Several units at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station have experienced beyond-design-basis accidents as a result of the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and are now in high-risk, uncharacterized configurations; units at other nuclear sites have experienced similar, although less severe, incidents. While Japan possesses world-class engineering and scientific capabilities, these reactor emergencies represent a first- of-a-kind event for the Japanese government, and are realized amid a plethora of other earthquake- and tsunami-related emergency conditions. Under such a scenario, it may be difficult for the Japanese government to focus attention and resources to properly develop a plan for addressing the state of its nuclear reactors and spent fuel pools at Fukushima Daiichi. Major elements of this plan could include:
* Risk assessment of current-statesystems: While PRAs and other risk analysis tools provide a high degree of certainty regarding the functional status of operational systems, ascertaining accurate failure modes for degraded structures, systems, and equipment subjected to conditions beyond their design conditions is vitally important to successful stabilization..
" Regulatory integration: The nuclear utility has a solid understanding of its country's regulatory framework during normal operations and likely even during accident situations; however, an accident of this magnitude calls for interactions with the national laboratory community to access a broader set of capabilities in the regulatory and informational arena.
" Stabilizationand confinement of compromised structures: The broader national laboratory community, given the accidents it has dealt with, has a great deal of experience in working with industry to stabilize compromised shelters (the ongoing efforts to stabilize the damaged structures at Chornobyl are a prime example). For example, scientists used ultrasonic, x-ray, and eddy-current equipment for nondestructive examinations of pipe welds at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, enabling them to evaluate pipes for tiny flaws and cracks without cutting the pipes open.
* Emergency preparednessplanning for unique, non-operationalnuclear facilities: The current emergency preparedness plans were in place for an accident of less severity than the one that has occurred. These plans could be enhanced to better address the long-term radiological issues facing the local community following this beyond-design-basis accident situation.

" Managing damagedfuel: The damaged fuel located outside of the reactor vessel presents contamination and fuel integrity issues that the national laboratories have experience with and can help address. For example, PNNL and other laboratories provide fuel performance evaluations for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory commission in operating and accident conditions, and conduct structural property studies for long term storage of spent fuel for the Department of Energy. More specifically, the national laboratories supported anextensive campaign at the K Basin at the Hanford site to successfully retrieve, characterize and remediate degraded fuel. There has also been extensive work done in the DPRK to stabilize the spent fuel pool to maintain the integrity of the degraded fuel from further damage until it can be transported or packaged.
" Exposure control and dose reduction techniques: While Japan has strong capabilities in this regard, this is another arena where the national laboratory community has unique experience to share, especially with respect to defense-in-depth technologies associated with degraded facility conditions.
" Remediation of contaminatedenvironment: The capabilities at PNNL and other national laboratories, who have been very active in participating in remediation of contaminated soil and water environments at Chornobyl and DOE nuclear complexes, could be utilized to develop a plan for containment and remediation of contaminated environment in and around the station.
While the situation in Japan is substantially less severe than the Chornobyl nuclear accident, there is a great deal of experience in the U.S. that has been engaged in that recovery effort that could be of substantial value to Japan as it deals with this nuclear crisis. Immediately following the 1986 accident, a wide variety of physics and systems analyses were performed to help define and evaluate the immediate stabilization options under consideration to address issues such as those noted above. Subsequently, PNNL led a multi national laboratory team of experts to implement stabilization, restoration, and safety upgrade activities in the International Nuclear Safety Program. We believe that a similar approach, working closely in support of the host nation, is prudent in order to develop and execute a successful plan to bring the damaged reactors and spent fuel pools into an engineered- and ecologically-stable state. This approach would define objectives, identify resources, and successfully team with national laboratories, industry experts and international stakeholders to assist in-country entities in tailoring, proven methods to achieve the desired outcome of stabilization of the Japan reactors and associated fuel pools.

From: Borchardt, Bill To: Jaczko, Gregory Cc: Weber, Michael; Virgilio, Martin; Ash, Darren; Batkin, Joshua Sent: Sat Mar 19 10:13:27 2011 Subject: Japan Follow-up
Chairman, The following is my initial thinking of NRC lessons learned follow-up from the Japan event. Both of the activities would use a combination of current NRC staff (and SES managers) as well as rehired annuitants. would also like to explore the possibility of using some existing senior managers for the task force and then backfilling behind them as a succession planning tool.
CS 789 of 2412 Near Term Review: - 90 day effort - Evaluate currently available technical and operational information from the event to identify near term (or immediate) operational or regulatory issues affecting US operating reactors of all designs - Develop recommendations for generic communications, orders, etc - This would possibly include a 30 day quick look report - Limited stakeholder involvement - Public report
Longer Term Review: - Would start after we have sufficient technical information from Japan - Evaluate all technical and policy issues to identify additional research, generic issues, changes to ROP, rulemakings, adjustments to the regulatory framework, etc that should be conducted by NRC - Evaluate interagency issues (EP) - Applicability to non-operating reactor facilities - Substantive stakeholder involvement - Public report
These are only initial thoughts and will benefit from the input of others. Bill

Josh,
To follow up on my earlier email, please see the attached write up. It is very preliminary but at least it is something for the chairman to work with.
CS 804 of 2412 As I mentioned, the answer to this question is open to interpretation, but this is staffs preliminary consensus interpretation. The figures are all very draft, but I hope it gives you an indication of the plots we are developing. As I mentioned, we intend to develop a 2 to 3 public friendly fact sheet to thoroughly and clearly answer the questions.that the chairman is getting. Also, you can refer to the Seismic Q&As and there is a one page high level overview of our seismic regs that Cliff wrote yesterday that may be of help. That is found on page 66.
Please feel free to call me with any questions or if I may be of further assistance. 415.307.6922.
If someone would have told me a month ago I'd be sending such a draft document for the chairman to see, I wouldn't have believed it. But I guess desperate times call for desperate measures.
Good luck with the preparations.
Cheers, Annie

The Chairman keeps getting asked a question along the lines of 'how many of our plants are in/near seismically active areas.' Is there a specific numerical way to answer this i.e maybe like there are X number in high seismic areas or near faults etc.? Thank you Josh

Dear Chairman,
Last week I advocated at French governmental level to retain a measure of precaution for French citizens in Japan, inviting them via our embassy to avoid being closer than 60 km from Fukushima site. This was based on our analysis of the potential risks of further degradation of some reactors or fuel pools, and on our calculations of plumes from existing releases, that were at times extending a little beyond the 30 km limit on the coastal. areas, particularly to the south. Such precautionary recommendations concerning a relatively small number of persons, including journalists, did not equate to a proposition for an advice to Japanese Authorities concerning the population in general, suggesting that i their zoning could be underestimated. Indeed, in some of our press communication at the beginning of the accident, IRSN. emphasised that the Japanese authorities were correct in establishing an exclusion zone, and a control zone beyond, which were on the whole appropriately defined in view of their other security and logistic problems resulting from the tsunami. The doses registered by people who have been checked by IRSN on their return to France are belol lmsv, and comfort this judgement. However, this seems to have been the source of some confusion. In the debate, some criticism was made of your put declarations, which seemed to me similar to what I had said myself at this cabinet meeting. So I would like to ask y( the following two questions: did you have in mind the precautions to be taken by US citizens, or was it meant as an invitation for action by Japanese authorities? And was the 50 mile limit you cited the result of some source term transfer catculation, or the mere transposition of an existing standard protection rule that would be applied in the USA?
I also take the opportunity of this message to thank the NRC staff for the efficient collaboration which has developed around the evaluation of this accident, both in terms of the reactor situation and prognosis, and in terms of evaluation of releases, at close distances, and at the scale of Japan.
With my best regards,
Jacques Repussard Director General IRSN

Chairman here's the language and the addressees:
Nancy Lindbora nlindbor(cusaid.qov Richard Reedcl (b)(6)
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has deployed a team of ten technical experts to provide technical assistance to the U.S. Ambassador in Japan and to counterparts in the Japanese Government to address the nuclear challenges that occurred following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Fukushima. This team is working under auspices of the U.S. Agency for International Development as part of the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance/Disaster Assistance Response Team. The team on the ground in Tokyo is supported by a fully activated incident response program that includes teams of specialists assembled at the Headquarters Operations Center in Rockville, MD to obtain and evaluate event information and to assess the potential impact of the event on public health and safety and the environment.
The NRC's focus is on continued assessment of mitigation strategies, radiological conditions, dose projections, and protective action recommendations in Japan. The agency is also focused on coordination with other U.S. Departments and Agencies, a consortium of U.S. companies organized by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO), and the Japanese agencies.
This arrangement worked well in the early phases of the crisis but an additional mission critical need has been identified for incident management and logistical support in country to help the Japanese fully leverage US government and private sector support and to enable them to execute strategies recommended by the NRC for stabilizing the situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant site. Ideally a team of individuals would be able to immediately deploy to Japan as an augmentation of the USAID assistance effort.
The role of this incident management team would be to coordinate closely with the NRC team and coordinate the development and implementation of intergovernmental, interagency, and private sector plans to support the ongoing response operations at the nuclear plant. This team should include personnel skilled in incident command, operations, logistics, communications, and status reporting. This team would interface with NRC team leader and Government of Japan officials to identify the equipment, training and strategies that would best assist the Japanese response effort, and then work with the US military and .civilian agencies and industry to promptly procure these assets, provide them to the appropriate Japanese agency, and then work with the Japanese to ensure the proper use and execution of this equipment and strategies.
This support is critical to the US Government's efforts to help ensure the Japanese are able to prevent any further worsening of the situation in Fukushima, to help stabilize the condition of the reactors and spent fuel

The committee was set up last December after the allies agreed to step up their commitment to deterring North Korea amid high tensions following the North's two military attacks on the South last yc "Since it would be the first official meeting with high-level officials, the two sides are expected to set parameters of the committee rather than try to produce a specific agreement," said a senior official at Seoul's defense ministry.

U.S. to give China a pass on NSG commitments for Pakistan nuclear deal The Hindu, 2011-03-22: The United States has indicated it will not oppose China's building of two nuclear reactors in Pakistan, and will give Beijing a pass on its non-proliferation commitments by allowing the deal to go ahead in spite of concerns that it will violate international guidelines governing nuclear trade. The deal, many countries say, goes against China's commitments as a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), which bans the sale or transfer of technology countries that have not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). U.S. Assistant Secretary for South and Cen', Asian Affairs Robert Blake told journalists here he did not bring up the deal during talks with Chinese officials this wee South and Central Asia.

Flow quickly can Gcrmanv ditch nuclear? UPI Energy, March 21, 2011 Monday : Germany, which has decided to temporarily shut down its seven oldest nuclear power reactors, is debating whether it's realistic to completely phase out nuclear energy anytime soon. Merkel's most r. move is an astonishing policy turnaround. Some six months ago, she agreed to extend the running times of Germany's 1 reactors by an average of 12 years until renewables are ready to take over. Nuclear power, the Merkel government argi the time, is stable, cheap and carbon dioxide-free. Her latest decision, announced as a response to the Japanese reactor could forever ground some, if not all of the seven reactors currently off the grid.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard's minority Labor government is planning a debate at a rare policy-making conferel later this year on nuclear energy and relaxing a long-standing bar on uranium exports to New Delhi.

Where is Japan's nuclear power CEO? Reuters) 2011-03-21 - The head of the Japanese power company at the centre of one of the world's worst nuclear disaste has all but vanished from the public eye. And many Japanese, on a knife edge waiting to see if the nuclear power plant. radiation leaks can be brought under control, are beginning to ask where he is and questioning how much he is in contro the crisis. Masataka Shimizu, chief executive of Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), has not made a public appearance week. And he has yet to visit the crippled nuclear power plant north of Tokyo that was badly damaged in the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck on March 11, and where 300 workers are desperately trying to find ways to cool dom reactors.

Russia: "Vulnerable" Nuclear Power Plants Will Underuo Modernization MOSCOW. March 22 (Interfax) - Rosatom believes the operation of those Russian nuclear power plants in which vulnerabilities will be found may be suspended, Rosatom programs director Sergei Boyarkin said. "After we get a detai report from Japan, we will develop an in-depth program for testing the safety barriers of our nuclear power plants. If an depth analysis reveals vulnerable points, the units will be temporarily suspended, will undergo modernization, and will 1 put into operation again," he said. Boyarkin recalled that Rosatom has conducted an additional analysis of Russian nuc power plants due to the events on the Japanese nuclear power plant Fukushima. "This analysis showed that our nuclear power plants are resistant to the combination of events that occurred in Fukushima," he said. In the meantime, Boyarki said closing down nuclear power plants would considerably worsen the environmental situation.

CS 890 of 2412 Svenska Dagbladet, March 19, 2011 Saturday: Swedish nuclear power industry is expected to face a shortage of safety personnel as the majority of specialists will retire within five years. A report from the Swedish Radiation Safety Authoi (Strlsdkerhetsmyndigheten) has found that it will take many years to replace the competence of the retiring workforce, new specialist takes 20 years to educate. The interest in nuclear technology research collapsed following the Chernobyl disaster 1986 and legislative changes which banned preparations for nuclear reactor development.

He says it is nonsense to believe the present AERB structure is u the job. The debate was set off by Union environment minister Jairam Ramesh's suggestion, in the wake of the Japan's nuclear crisis, of an independent regulatory body for the sector. Many at the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Indi: Nuclear Society and Nuclear Power Corporation (NPC), have strongly argued the AERB is best-placed to grant, renew, withdraw and revoke consent for nuclear and radiation facilities. Gopalakrishnan and some others who do not want to bt named say Jairam is correct and both AERB and DAE would always protect the interests of NPC as an utility.

Jacques - The recommendation was based primarily on the potential for a degradation of the situation at the time. We released a series of dose estimates that were part of the basis for fifty mile determination. But to some degree the distance was an approximation given the limited information we had about the actual situation and limited dose information. The recommendation was made to the embassy to provide them with information to make recommendations for us citizens in japan. Hope this helps

From: REPUSSARD Jacques rmailto:iacques.rePussardt5irsn.fr1 Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 1:12 PM To: CHAIRMAN Resource Subject: nuclear accident in Japan
Dear Chairman,
CS 893 of 2412 Last week I advocated at French governmental level to retain a measure of precaution for French citizens in Japan, inviting them via our embassy to avoid being closer than 60 km from Fukushima site. This was based on our analysis of the potential risks of further degradation of some reactors or fuel pools, and on our calculations of plumes from existing releases, that were at times extending a little beyond the 30 km limit on the coastal areas, particularly to the south.
Such precautionary recommendations concerning a relatively small number of persons, including journalists, did not equate to a proposition for an advice to Japanese Authorities concerning the population in general, suggesting that their zoning could be underestimated. Indeed, in some of our press communication at the beginning of the accident, IRSN emphasised that the Japanese authorities were correct in establishing an exclusion zone, and a control zone beyond, which were on the whole appropriately defined in view of their other security and logistic problems resulting from the tsunami. The doses registered by people who have been checked by IRSN on their return to France are below I msv, and comfort this judgement.
However, this seems to have been the source of some confusion. In the debate, some criticism was made of your public declarations, which seemed to me similar to what I had said myself at this cabinet meeting. So I would like to ask you the following two questions: did you have in mind the precautions to be taken by US citizens, or was it meant as an invitation for action by Japanese authorities? And was the 50 mile limit you cited the result of some source term transfer calculation, or the mere transposition of an existing standard protection rule that would be applied in the USA?
I also take the opportunity of this message to thank the NRC staff for the efficient collaboration which has developed around the evaluation of this accident, both in terms of the reactor situation and prognosis, and in terms of evaluation of releases. at close distances, and at the scale of Japan.
With my best regards,
Jacques Repussard

Damian, Ron & Aleshia Thanks so much for sending the TEPCO analyses to us. Secretary Chu has tasked us (NE-7) with evaluating the critical issues with the reactor plant-recovery efforts and we have been conducting our own analyses of the situation. Secretary Chu would like you to communicate our assessments to TEPCO if this is possible. Thanks for all your efforts

Hi Danielle,
Just had a moment to discuss this request with Chairman Jaczko. He said he would like to stop in at the. beginning of the meeting when it is scheduled and would be happy to go to Eric Leeds' office if that is where the meeting will take place.
The best times for the Chairman would be 2:30p or 4:30p on Friday afternoon. Please let us know for when and where this meeting is confirmed and we will be sure Chairman Jaczko comes by.

Hi Patti,
The meeting with JANTI is scheduled for Friday afternoon with Eric Leeds, NRR, and based on the Chairman's schedule, we would like to choose a half an hour within the 2:30 - 5:00 PM timeframe. In order to nail down a time by this afternoon, I will provide in this email some background about The Japan Nuclear Technology Institute (JANTI). It is our understanding that the Chairman may be available for a meet/greet at the end of the scheduled bilateral with NRR. I am leaving on Saturday for Japan, so please keep all on cc, as I will not be in on Friday.
For background about the meeting with JANTI:
Dr. Michio Ishikawa, Chief Advisor and former-president of JANTI, will be visiting the area on the Friday, March 25, and has meetings planned with NEI and, most likely INP0. JANTI has requested a meeting with NRC. JANTI is an organization

CS 921 of 2412 that was closely modeled after INPO. NRC met with them in December 2009 in Tokyo. During that meeting, they explained their initiative to work and coordinate with industry, and the significant strides they have made in recent years. In light of recent events, they will obviously be re-assessing things and will have challenges to confront. It would be beneficial for the Chairman to have an opportunity to become familiar with this very senior representative from JANTI and how JANTI may compare with U.S. entities.

Hi Heather,
The Japan Nuclear Technology Institute (JANTI) has requested a meeting with NRC. JANTI is an organization that was closely modeled after INPO. Chairman Klein met with them in December 2009 in Tokyo. During that meeting, they explained their initiative to work and coordinate with industry, and the significant strides they have made in recent years. We'd like to set up a meeting with Eric and Mr. Ishikawa, former president and current chief advisor of JANTI, on March 25th for a half hour, as requested by JANTI (see emails below). At the end of the meeting, we'd like the Chairman to stop in for a meet/greet, and the Chairman agrees with this approach. It is our understanding that while JANTI is in

CS 922 of 2412 country, they are meeting with NEI and most likely INPO.

Dear Ms. Danielle Emche,
I am Masaki Uotani, staff of the Japan Nuclear Technology Institute (JANTI). JANTI develops technical expertise and supports utilities in promoting safety activities, aiming further enhance the safety of nuclear power, similar to INPO in the US. JANTI has examined the status of Fukushima Daiichi NPP after the earthquake, and thinks that the situation is not reported abroad correctly.
Dr. Michio Ishikawa, Chief Advisor and former-president of JANTI, would like to visit NRC Executives personally, especially Chairman Jaczko, in order to present his prospect based on the exact information of the damage. Dr. Ishikawa has been contributed to enhancement of nuclear safety in Japan for a long time.
Could you arrange the visit of Dr. Ishikawa and a few staffs of JANTI to NRC anytime on March 25, if possible for half an hour ?
I would like to say thank you in advance.
Sincerely yours,
Masaki UOTANI Strategic Planning Office, JANTI

Dear Mr. Uotani,
The NRC would be pleased to meet with you and your team. The Chairman's schedule is full this week, but we will look to see if something can be changed. If not, we would be happy to try and schedule a meeting with our Executives. If you or one of your team would please contact Ms. Danielle Emche she will take care of all of the arrangements. I have copied her on this note. She can be reached at 301-415-2644, or by e-mail at [email protected]
As we remember from our visit, your activities may be similar to the activities of our Institute of Nuclear Power Operators (INPO) in the US. I have spoken with NEI and INPO and they would be willing to try to set up a teleconference if time and schedules permit, if you would find that helpful.
With kind regards, Margie Doane Office of International Programs, Director US Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Dear Mr. Uotani,
You and the JANTI folks have been in my thoughts since the devastating events of last week. I hope that you and your family are doing well. I am sorry to hear the Dr. Ishikawa suffered as a result of the earthquake and hope recovery is going well.
At NEI, we established a emergency response center that has been monitoring the events around the clock in order to assist in providing technical expertise to the communications efforts. We have been following the progress very closely.
I am encouraged by your message and particularly Dr. Ishikawa's interested in visiting NEI to explain the status of the Fukushima NPP. We are very interested in understanding the details such that we can incorporate lessons learned to every U.S. reactor. We can be available to meet with you whenever convenient.
Additionally, Alex Marion has a new email address: [email protected] and is on copy to this email.

I did some web searching. Canada, South Korea, UK and Australia stated an evacuation distance of 80 km/50 miles.
Many countries, such as France, urged their citizens in the north-east Japan and Tokyo to evacuate. In most reports, most countries do not state the reason is nuclear and they do not give a defined distance.

"The UK government is chartering flights from Tokyo to Hong Kong to supplement commercially available options for those wishing to leave Japan."
Britons: were'urged to remain outside an 80km radius of the nuclear plant "as an additional precautionaryrmeasure," saying the call was in line with the US government's advice to its citizens in Japan.
"If you are currently between 30km and 80kmn from the facility, we advise you to leave the area or take shelter indoors if you are unable to travel," the FCO said.

Tom, per your question re IAEA this morning, the following is from the IAEA web-site.
The Japanese government today requested assistance from the IAEA in the areas of environmental monitoring and the effects of radiation on human health, asking for IAEA teams of experts to be sent to Japan to assist local experts. Preparations for these missions are currently under way.
The missions will draw on IAEA resources and may also possibly involve Response and Assistance Network (RANET) and Member States' capabilities.
This development follows the IAEA's offer to Japan of its "Good Offices" - i.e. making available the Agency's direct support and coordination of international assistance.
RANET is a network of resources made available by IAEA Member States that can be offered in the event of a radiation incident or emergency. Coordination of RANET is done by the IAEA within the framework of the Convention on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or RadiologicalEmergency.
The IAEA continues to liaise with the Japanese authorities and is monitoring the situation as it evolves.

Hi Josh,
I read online that the President stopped at the Japanese Embassy to sign the Condolence Book. It might be nice if you and the Chairman arrived a few minutes early for the meeting with the Ambassador to sign the book? Or make a point to sign the book after the meeting?
Thanks,

CS 979 of 2412 Good afternoon. The events that have happened over the past few days in Japan are sobering in their size and scope. My heart goes out to all those who are dealing with the aftermath of these tragic events. As the situation continues to unfold, I want to assure you that the NRC's leadership team will continue to do its best to keep updating you on what is a dynamic and complex situation.
On behalf of the Commission, I want to thank all of the NRC staff who have worked tirelessly as part of the U.S. response effort to assist Japan. NRC employees have willingly worked around the clock this past week. Since the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power plant situations began, the Operations Center has been working on a 24-hour basis to monitor developments in Japan. At the request of the Japanese government, the NRC also dispatched a team of 11 NRC technical experts to Tokyo to provide assistance. The experience and expertise of these NRC employees and all of the others who have contributed to the NRC's response have been invaluable. I cannot thank you enough for your ongoing efforts.
Those of you who have not been directly involved in the response efforts have just as vital a role to play in making sure that U.S. nuclear facilities remain safe and secure. We cannot lose our focus on our safety and security mission. We must continue to approach our responsibilities with the dedication, poise and professionalism that I have seen every day during my six-and-a-half years at this agency.
With the extraordinary level of interest in nuclear safety right now, the American people are looking to the NRC for assurance that nuclear facilities around the country remain safe. Over the past several days, I have briefed President Obama, the agency's oversight committees in both the House and Senate, and conducted countless media briefings and interviews. It's vitally important that we continue to communicate to the public about the tremendous work that you have done in the past, are doing right now, and will continue to do in the future to protect public health and safety. You all have my full confidence and my deep gratitude.
Even as the NRC's leadership team continues to address the challenges of the past week, we remain attentive to employee well-being during these difficult times. The Office of Human Resources, including all of our worklife programs and the health center, continue to support all employees and provide help in dealing with traumatic events. We encourage you to seek assistance from HR and the Employee Assistance Program as needed.
As we move forward, please continue to do your exemplary work and remain focused and diligent. Thank you again for all you do on behalf of the American people.

You may already know this but Mr. Borchardt is on his way back to the NRC to pick up the document you requested. His assistant reports that he is encountering traffic. I do not have an ETA for Mr. Borchardt at the Embassy. I have requested that the HOO send the document to you directly so hopefully you will receive that soon.

A draft press plan - comments welcome:
Visit of NRC Chairman Jaczko 3-28-11
Press posture
CS 1013 of 2412 Before arrival (note the Embassy has notified the Japanese government of his visit and is working on his schedule.):
" The NRC is not issuing any media advisory or announcement of the visit.
" If asked, they will confirm on background and refer inquiries for further details to the Embassy.
" If pressed on the short duration of the trip, they will point out that the Chairman is testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday.
Embassy is not issuing any announcement of his visit.
If asked, we will, on background:
* confirm his visit, " note that he is visiting his team and Japanese officials to demonstrate at the highest level our continued support and close cooperation.
Monday's Schedule:
It is likely that the Chairman will encounter press (reporters & cameras) as he exits his meetings at either the NISA, TEPCO, the Prime Minister's Office, or the Cabinet.
There may also be a camera spray laid on at the top of one of the meetings [NRC/ECON - can you raise this question with our counterparts? We would not press for one but it is their prerogative.]
The Chairman would not speak to the press but rather the Embassy will release a statement in his name at the conclusion of his meetings [worth considering issuing that statement before the Cabinet meeting given the late hour].
Draft press statement elements:
* I traveled to Tokyo today to convey directly to our Japanese friends a message of support and cooperation, and to visit our team here to express my appreciation for all they are doing as we work together to resolve this crisis.
* Our nuclear experts are working side-by-side with their Japanese counterparts, and we continue to share scientific information as we move forward to resolve this challenge.
* We will continue to stand with the people of Japan as they overcome this tragedy, and we stand ready to continue to provide any assistance we can in the days to come. e As President Obama said, we will stand with the people of Japan as they recover from this hardship and rebuild their great nation; the friendship and alliance between our two nations is unshakable.

Sounds like you have a good plan and if we're asked about the trip here, we'll simply confirm on background that he's coming out to meet with US and GOJ counterparts, refer folks to the embassy for further details, and be ready to correct any mistaken notions that it is some sort of urgent trip by pointing out it is short simply because of his full schedule midweek, including testifying before the Senate Appropriations Energy and Water Subcommittee on Wednesday morning.

The Chairman's expectation is that it will be low- key but he's also comfortable doing press if you think it would be beneficial.

Talking Points/Information for Chairman Jaczko Meeting with Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki March 25, 2011 11:00 a.m.
Highlights
" NRC Reactor Safety Team (RST) " RST provided a set of recommendations pertaining to severe accident management strategies to the NRC team in Japan. The recommendations were coordinated with General Electric Hitachi (GEH), Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO), Naval Reactors, and Department of Energy (DOE).
" Revised the priority for Unit 1 through 4. " Unit 1 is priority 1 based on the fact that primary containment integrity can still be preserved, if the responders take the correct actions to inject to the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) and Primary Containment. " Unit 2 is priority 2 because of the apparent damage to primary containment and the other barriers to release, requiring continued attention to cool the core and provide water to the primary containment to minimize potential for release. " Unit 3 is priority 3, because primary containment may be OK but continued attention is required to pursue core cooling and injection. " Unit 4 is priority 4 because of progress in addressing the spent fuel pool heat removal requirements, and indicated spent fuel pool (SFP) area temperatures of less than 100 degrees C.
" NRC Preventive Measures Team (PMT) o PMT developed guidance, at the request of the Department of State (DOS), to be provided to Americans such that they could temporarily re-enter the 50-mile evacuation zone (not to enter the Japanese 20 Km evacuation zone) for the purposes of retrieving personal effects. The guidance was provided to the NRC Japan team to provide to the Ambassador. o Current forecast meteorological data through March 26, 2011 indicates prolonged onshore winds, shifting offshore on the morning of March 26. a The most recent survey data, from March 25, 2011. does not indicate any substantial change of dose measurements at the site. o The amount and diversity of data from official Japanese information sources has increased significantly during the past few days. At the beginning of the accident, the PMT was receiving primarily meteorological data, but no useful information on radioactive releases or plant conditions. In the past few days, the PMT has been receiving data on exposure rates near the site and at offsite locations for a variety of environmental media (air exposure rates, radioactivity levels in water) and information on plant conditions. Data sources include the Japanese Embassy (,Office of International Relations, Nuclear Safety Division, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology); Tokyo Electric Power Company and other sources.
* Bechtel Pumping System o One train of temporary cooling equipment has been transported to Yokota Air Force Base. The site team is working to ensure the system will be capable of pumping fresh water. Plans are being made for the U.S. Navy to provide two fresh water barges to the
CS 1029 of 2412 eFffClAL bt UNL
Daiichi site. TEPCO expects to swap to freshwater injection (from the Dam source) on Units 1-3 on 3/25.
U.S. Industry Consortium o The U.S. commercial nuclear industry has established an industry support team to immediately facilitate support for TEPCO during the Fukushima event response. This team will complement efforts of the U.S. government and is intended to provide easy access to the capabilities of the US nuclear industry and assure a timely and effective industry response to emergency needs.
This team will complement efforts of the US government and is intended to provide easy access to the capabilities of the US nuclear industry and assure a timely and effective industry response to emergency needs.
The following actions have been taken to make this team operational: " An individual has been dispatched to Tokyo to coordinate requests for assistance and technical support. This individual will work closely with the NRC team already in place and function as a key interface to communicate the technical needs of TEPCO to the industry. " A support organization ýs in place at the INPO offices in Atlanta to facilitate the location and delivery of supplies, services and materials. This organization has close contacts with all US utilities and will be expanded by Friday March 26, 2011 with additional staffing and suppliers from the broader nuclear industry. " A technical support organization is also in place at INPO to facilitate the timely response to requests for technical support. This organization coordinates and channels requests for technical support to utility and industry experts, EPRI and suppliers as appropriate to ensure timely and effective technical advice is provided. This group works closely with the NRC and other government agencies.
This team is intended to function during the mitigation and stabilization phase of the Fukushima Daiichi event. It is anticipated the commercial market structure will function during the longer-term recovery and remediation phases.
Status of Coordination
The Japan Liaison Team's interactions with officials on the Japanese side, including stakeholders from KANTEI (CON-tay), TEPCO, NISA, MOD, and other key organizations, are progressing. o Mr. Goshi Hosono, Member of the House of Representatives, has been very instrumental in providing influence, structure, and guidance on interaction with all agencies involved.
* The channels of communications are opening. While the flow of information is not as quick as we would prefer, the Japanese stakeholder organizations ultimately have provided the information we have requested.
* Note: The Japan Liaison Team therefore does not foresee the need of assistance for further pressure from the Chairman toward the end of facilitating the exchange of information with the Japanese.

" We would like to. ensure that decision-makers and the appropriate technical staff are in attendance at our meetings.
* We hope that we are continuing to add value with our interactions with all agencies in Japan.

Chairman, The following is my initial thinking of NRC lessons learned follow-up from the Japan event. Both of the activities would use a combination of current NRC staff (and SES managers) as well as rehired annuitants. I would also like to explore the possibility of using some existing senior managers for the task force and then backfilling behind them as a succession planning tool.
Near Term Review: - 90 day effort - Evaluate currently available technical and operational information from the event to identify near term (or immediate) operational or regulatory issues affecting US operating reactors of all designs - Develop recommendations for generic communications, orders, etc - This would possibly include a 30 day quick look report Limited stakeholder involvement Public report
Longer Term Review: - Would start after we have sufficient technical information from Japan - Evaluate all technical and policy issues to identify additional research, generic issues, changes to ROP, rulemakings, adjustments to the regulatory framework, etc that should be conducted by NRC - Evaluate interagency issues (EP) - Applicability to non-operating reactor facilities - Substantive stakeholder involvement - Public report
These are only initial thoughts and will benefit from the input of others. Bill

From: REPUSSARD Jacques [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 1:12 PM To: CHAIRMAN Resource Subject: nuclear accident in Japan
Dear Chairman,
Last week I advocated at French governmental level to retain a measure of precaution for French citizens in Japan, inviting them via our embassy to avoid being closer than 60 km from Fukushima site. This was based on our analysis of the potential risks of further degradation of some reactors or fuel pools, and on our calculations of plumes from existing releases, that were at times extending a little beyond the 30 km limit on the coastal areas, particularly to the south. Such precautionary recommendations concerning a relatively small number of persons, including journalists, did not equate to a proposition for an advice to Japanese Authorities concerning the population in general, suggesting that their zoning could be underestimated. Indeed, in some of our press communication at the beginning of the accident, IRSN emphasised that the Japanese authorities were correct in establishing an exclusion zone, and a control zone beyond, which were on the whole appropriately defined in view of their other security and logistic problems resulting from the tsunami. The doses registered by people who have been checked by IRSN on their return to France are below lmsv, and comfort this judgement. However, this seems to have been the source of some confusion. In the debate, some criticism was made of your public declarations, which seemed to me similar to what I had said myself at this cabinet meeting. So I would like to ask you the following two questions: did you have in mind the precautions to be taken by US citizens, or was it meant as an invitation for action by Japanese authorities? And was the 50 mile limit you cited the result of some source term transfer calculation, or the mere transposition of an existing standard protection rule that would be applied in the USA?
CS 1039 of 2412 I also take the opportunity of this message to thank the NRC staff for the efficient coiLaboration which has developed around the evaluation of this accident, both in terms of the reactor situation and prognosis, and in terms of evaLuation of releases, at close distances, and at the scale of Japan.
With my best regards,
Jacques Repussard Director General IRSN

This week's top story - Update on Events at Nuclear Power Plants in Japan Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) continued efforts this week to stabilize the reactors at its Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Workers were making progress on restoring some cooling systems to reactors 1 through 4 at the plant. Reactors 5 and 6 have offsite electric power and both reactors are in safe, cold shutdown mode, as are all four reactors at the nearby Fukushima Daini site. Efforts continued to cool the used fuel pools at Fukushima Daiichi.

Following is a statement being issued by U.S. Embassy Tokyo now.
Press Office U.S. Department of State
U.S. Embassy Tokyo, Japan
March 16, 2011
Statement by U.S. Ambassador John V. Roos
The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Department of Energy and other technical experts in the U.S. Government have reviewed the scientific and technical information they have collected from assets in country, as well as what the Government of Japan has disseminated, in response to the deteriorating situation at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. Consistent with the NRC guidelines that apply to such a situation in the United States, we are recommending, as a precaution, that American citizens who live within 50 miles (80 kilometers) of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant evacuate the area or to take shelter indoors if safe evacuation is not practical.
We want to underscore that there are numerous factors in the aftermath of the earthquake and Tsunami, including weather, wind direction and speed, and the nature of the reactor problem that affect the risk of radioactive contamination within this 50 mile (80 km) radius or the possibility of lower-level radioactive materials reaching greater distances.
The U.S. Embassy will continue to update American citizens as the situation develops. U.S. citizens in need of emergency assistance should send an e-mail to [email protected] with detailed information about their location and contact information, and monitor the U.S. Department of State website at travel.state.gov.
The United States is continuing to do everything in its power to help Japan and American citizens who were there at the time of these tragic events. To support our citizens there, the Embassy is working around the clock, we have our consular services available 24 hours a day to determine the whereabouts and well-being of all U.S. citizens in Japan and we have offered our Japanese friends includes disaster response experts, search and rescue teams, technical advisers with nuclear expertise and logistical support from the United States military. 1 CS 1084 of 2412 From: Jaczko, Gregory
