Acceptance Review for Alternate Requirements for ASME Class I Pzr.
Instrument Lines (ME0252)
Mr. O'Keefe:
By letter dated December 11, 2008, FPL Energy Seabrook submitted a relief request for the Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1. The request would allow alternate requirements for ASME Class I Upper Level Instrumentation Lines on the Pressurizer. (TAC No. ME0252). The purpose of this e-mail is to provide you with the results of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this submittal. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.
Pursuant to Sections 50.55a(a)(3)(i) and 50.55a(a)(3)(ii) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed alternatives would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety, or that compliance with the specified requirements of Section 50.55a would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality or safety.
The NRC staff has reviewed your submittal and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and protection of public health and safety and the environment.
If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence. If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-2443.
