Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Items of Interest Week Ending September 27, 2024 Notice of Enforcement Discretion (NOED) Verbal Approval for FitzPatrick Unit 1 On September 23, 2024, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff verbally approved a Notice of Enforcement Discretion (NOED) request for FitzPatrick Unit 1 to not enforce Technical Specification (TS) 3.3.2.1 Action C.2.1.2 for a one-time transition into Mode 2 from the current shutdown with an inoperable rod worth minimizer (RWM) until reaching 10%
power where the RWM is no longer required. The NOED will expire on September 25. This allows the licensee to proceed with startup and not perform the required TS action to verify by administrative methods that startup with RWM inoperable has not been performed in the current calendar year, since FitzPatrick previously conducted a startup during the current calendar year with an inoperable RWM.
