NRC STAFFS FOURTH STATUS REPORT ON REVIEW SCHEDULE Pursuant to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Boards (Licensing Board) Initial Scheduling Order,1 the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Staff) herein submits its fourth status report regarding the review schedule for the extended power uprate (EPU) application that is at issue in this proceeding.
The Staff is continuing to review the EPU application, and expects to formally issue further requests for additional information (RAIs) based on recent application supplements, including questions related to (1) the methods used to perform the reactor thermal/hydraulic analysis, (2) the steam dryer analysis, (3) the net positive suction head analysis, and (4) station blackout. Also, on June 15-16, 2005, the Staff plans to conduct an audit of the applicants steam dryer analysis. Additional RAIs may result from that audit.
The Staff will re-assess the review schedule once Entergy provides a proposed schedule for responses to these RAIs. Once the schedule is re-assessed, the Staff will coordinate with the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) to establish dates for the ACRS subcommittee and full committee meetings.
Pursuant to the Initial Hearing Order, the Staff will submit an updated status report on or about July 15, 2005.
Respectfully submitted,
