Prairie Island - Acceptance Review of LAR and Exemption Request To Support the Use of Optimized ZIRLO Fuel Rod Cladding (TAC Nos. ME2790 thru ME2793)
By "L-PI-09-122, Supplement to Responses to Generic Letter 2008-01, Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and [[system" contains a listed "[" character as part of the property label and has therefore been classified as invalid. Systems|letter dated November 24, 2009]], Xcel Energy submitted a license amendment request (LAR) and an exemption request to support the use of Optimized ZIRLO Fuel Rod Cladding for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of the LAR and exemption request. 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.
The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed exemption request in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that impact the NRC staffs ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
