- Ray, In response to your question, the number of ACRS person/hours worked reviewing some typical extended power uprates ranges from about 300-450 hours. However, this does not include administrative time, overhead, time for the NRC staff review, or other charges associated with this effort Even though we have some resource numbers for past reviews, it is hard to predict the amount of time needed to review Vermont Yankee. The review will be contingent upon specific issues associated with the design of Vermont Yankee and any open issues ths staff may have with their application.
However, we would note that the Vermont Yankee plant is an older vintage plant and because of that it has extensive margin. In the past, the ACRS has spent time reviewing the generic approach to the review of power uprate amendments, Including the revised standard review plan.
Further detailed information regarding ACRS reviews of power uprates should be provided via an FOIA request I hope this answer is helpful.

As you may know, I am working on the now hotly-discussed Vermont Yankee EPU
. The scope and scale of ACRS review is a much raked over topic that has recently involved Vermont's US Senators. Our need to have a clear understanding of ACRS review is immediate and pressing. Any help or direction you can give would be greatly appreciated. Please call me at the number below if there are any questions.
