Draft RAI for Palo Verde Units 1, 2, and 3: LAR and Exemption Request to Relocate P/T and LTOP Limits - TAC NOS. ME0698, ME0699, ME0700, ME0703, ME0704 AND ME0705 Attachments:
Combined RAI ME0698.doc Mr. Russell A. (Rusty) Stroud Licensing Section Leader Regulatory Affairs Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Arizona Public Service Company Rusty:
By letter dated February 19, 2009, Arizona Public Service Company (APS) submitted a license amendment request and an associated request for exemption for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS), Units 1, 2, and 3. The proposed amendment would relocate the reactor coolant system pressure and temperature (P/T) limits and the low temperature overpressure protection enable temperatures from the current Technical Specifications (TSs) to the PVGNS Technical Requirements Manual, which would be subject to the controls identified in new TS 5.6.9. The requested exemption from 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, would allow APS to apply the methods of NRC-approved topical report CE NPSD-683-A, Revision 6, for calculating KIM values to the calculation of P/T limits, in lieu of the methods required by Appendix G.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed your request and has determined that the information specified in the attached draft Request for Additional Information (RAI) is needed for the staff to complete its evaluation. In order for the staff to complete its review in a timely manner, we request that you submit your response to the enclosed RAI by September 22, 2009. Please contact me if APS would like to have a conference call to discuss the draft RAI, or if APS needs more time to submit its formal response.
Sincerely, Randy Hall, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch IV Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation USNRC (301) 415-4032 Randy.Hall@nrc.gov E-mail Properties
