Background

Initial License (1970)

- 1670 MWt Original Licensed Thermal Power (OLTP)

Extended Power Uprate (1998)

- 1775 MWt (106.3% of OLTP)

- First EPU in the industry Extended Power Uprate (2009)

- Constant Pressure Power Uprate (CPPU)

- 2004 MWt (120% of OLTP)

License Amendment Request 3ased on GE licensing topical report

- NEDC-33004P-A, "Constant Pressure Power Uprate Licensing Topical Report," July 2003 (CPPU or CLTR)

- No increase in maximum steam dome pressure

- Not pursuing concurrent changes specifically excluded in topical Alternate Source Term already approved

~NM C~mMI~ed to Nudear~xceIfoW 14

License Amendment Request GE plant specific Power Uprate Safety Ana lysis Report (PUSAR)

- Technical report summarizing generic or plant specific analyses for EPU

- PUSAR follows licensing topical report format Commlftdtdo NucoaEvei 15

License Amendment Request BWR EPU License Amendment Request format after RS-001

- PUSAR in licensing topical report format

- RS-001 matrices mark-up with plant licensing basis

-RS-001 safety evaluation template mark-up

- Matrix cross-referencing RS-001 to.icst PUSAR Commiftd4 oýNu"rES:ier~

License Amendment Request Planned NMC EPU LAR format

- PUSAR reformatted to RS-001

- Regulatory evaluation and conclusion sections of the RS-001 safety evaluation templates will be within the PUSAR

- Specific Monticello licensing bases section provided (Monticello is not a GDC plant)

- NMC intends to request exception to the I rge transient test requirements Commi-ted"toN rES 17

License Amendment Request Potential benefits of planned format

- Eliminates safety evaluation template mark-up

- Eliminates RS-O01 to PUSAR topic-cross reference

- Provides complete information for reviewer Committed te NudeSc:lr 18
