As part of this request which is as defined in the Recommendation 2.3, Flooding, Enclosure 4 of the 50.54(f) Letter dated March 12, 2012, CNS was required to perform walkdowns to verify that plant features credited in the current licensing basis (CLB) for protection and mitigation from external flood events is available, functional, and properly maintained. In addition, the purpose of the walkdowns was to identify and address plant-specific degraded, non-conforming, or unanalyzed conditions (through the corrective action program) and associated APM (Available Physical Margin) and verify the adequacy of monitoring and maintenance procedures. This information was obtained in accordance with NEI 12-07, "Guidelines for Verification Walkdowns of Plant Flood Protection Features". This memo is being written for CNS Design Engineering to formally accept the walkdown packages, and final walkdown report as being technically accurate. The walkdowns were developed with APM determined from 906', which is what CNS is committed to the NRC to protect up to.

Dedication For my incredible parents, Anil and Alpana Gupta, for making all of this possible, and my husband, Joseph T. Ripberger, for being a constant inspiration. Acknowledgements This dissertation would not be possible were it not for the invaluable support I have received throughout my journey as an undergraduate at Delhi University in India, a graduate student at the University of Warwick in England, and my pursuit of a doctorate at the University of Oklahoma in the United States. During my time at Delhi University, Ramu Manivannan was an amazing mentor who taught me the value of making a difference in both academia and the real world. My greatest debt is to Hank Jenkins-Smith and Carol Silva at the University of Oklahoma, whose encouragement, guidance, and intellectual advice has made this journey possible. I am deeply grateful for their unending support; this dissertation would not exist without them.

To systems, structures, and components (i.e. safety) and assessing certain potential continue operating, their owners must environmental impacts of extending a reactor’s operating-life. As a result, reviews renew their licenses with NRC, the done as part of this process are not required to address as many topics as independent federal agency reviews for initial licensing, which include security and emergency planning. responsible for licensing and regulating nuclear reactors. NRC evaluates NRC has regularly updated the safety review guidance it uses in the license license renewal applications under two renewal process but has not revised most of its environmental review regulations parallel reviews for safety and potential and guidance since they were first issued. NRC has revised its safety review environmental impacts. NRC’s license guidance twice—in 2005 and 2010—and has issued interim updates for selected renewal process has received safety issues between those revisions.

In implementing this oversight, NRC nuclear accidents with extreme allocates specific roles and responsibilities to resident inspectors assigned to consequences can occur and, thus, each plant, regional officials at one of four regional offices responsible for most heightened concerns about NRC’s oversight activities, headquarters officials, and the nuclear power industry. NRC ability to oversee the safety of U.S. also builds into its processes incentives for plant managers to identify concerns commercial nuclear power reactors. about reactor safety, report those concerns to NRC, and take prompt actions to NRC oversees safety through multiple correct them. NRC’s processes for identifying and assessing findings and processes, such as physically violations are based on prescribed agency procedures and include several points inspecting reactors and also responding to signs of declining where NRC staff must exercise their professional judgment, such as determining performance (i.e., findings) or whether issues of concern identified during physical inspections constitute violations of its requirements.

Davis-Besse provided an update on the elevated levels of tritium in ground water that were first detected on February 3, 2015. The sample results for August show 13 samples above the agreed reporting threshold of 2000 picocuries of tritium per liter (pCi/L). Generally the sample results are holding steady or slightly decreasing. The highest sample result was 6246 pCi/L. The limit for tritium in drinking water is 20,000 pCi/L. Perry Nuclear Power Plant Perry operated at full power for the month. Beaver Valley Power Station At approximately 530 am on August 26, a single warning siren in Beaver County Pennsylvania was inadvertently activated. No emergency was declared at the Beaver Valley Power Station. The plant is required to report this event to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. See Event number 51345.
