ADAMSAccessionNumber:
ML091670449 Mr. O'Keefe:
By letter dated May 28, 2009, NextEra Energy Seabrook submitted a License Amendment Request for the Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1. The proposed amendment would result in permanent changes to Technical Specification (TS) 6.7.6.k relating to the Steam Generator Program. Specifically, to exclude a portion of the tubes below the top of the tube sheet from periodic steam generator tube inspections. 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.
Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required.
This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.
The NRC staff has reviewed your submittal and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the 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 the 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.
