Abstract
This safety evaluation report (SER) documents the technical review
of the Pilgrim Nuclear
Power Station (PNPS) license renewal application (LRA) by the United
States (US) Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff (the staff). By letter dated January
25, 2006, Entergy
Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO or the applicant), submitted the LRA in
accordance with Title 10,
Part 54, of the Code of Federal Regulations, “Requirements for
Renewal of Operating Licenses
for Nuclear Power Plants.” ENO requests renewal of the PNPS operating
license (Facility
Operating License Number DPR-35) for a period of 20 years beyond the
current expiration at
midnight June 8, 2012.
PNPS is located approximately 4 miles southeast of Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The NRC
issued the PNPS construction permit on August 26, 1968, and operating
license on
September 15, 1972. PNPS is a Mark 1 boiling water reactor design. General
Electric supplied
the nuclear steam supply system and Bechtel Corporation originally designed
and constructed
the balance of plants. The PNPS licensed power output is 2028 megawatt
thermal with a gross
electrical output of approximately 690 megawatt electric.
This SER presents the status of the staff’s review of information
submitted through September
12, 2007, the cutoff date for consideration in the SER. The staff identified
open items that were
resolved before the staff made a final determination on the application.
SER Section 1.5
summarizes these items and their resolution. Section 6.0 provides the
staff’s final conclusion on
the review of the PNPS LRA.
