BILLING CODE 7590-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Potential Impact of Debris Blockage on Emergency Sump Recirculation at Pressurized-Water Reactors; Issue AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: Notice of issuance. SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC)has issued Generic Letter
(GL)2004-02 to all holders of operating licenses for pressurized-water reactors (PWRs), except those who have permanently ceased operations and have certified that fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel.

The primary objective is to ensure that licensees are in compliance with the licensing and design bases requirements of their facilities with respect to the ECCS having the capability to provide long-term cooling of the reactor core following a loss of coolant accident
