Columbia's Response:

1.       Do you tether LPRMs to the side of the SFP handrails?  No, they are 
bent and placed on hangers in SFP until they are disposed of.



2.       If so, do you lock them to prevent inadvertent removal? No stored 
underwater, no tether.



3.       If so, do you consider them VHRAs or LHRAs? N/A

Progress Energy's Brunswick site would like information on the following:

How do you handle storing, locking and tagging old LPRMs that are removed from 
the core?

1.       Do you tether LPRMs to the side of the SFP handrails?

2.       If so, do you lock them to prevent inadvertent removal?

3.       If so, do you consider them VHRAs or LHRAs?


We tether our LPRMs, lock and tag them but we do not use a VHRA key to lock.

Thank you for your time and please respond to:
