Dear Mr. Belcher:

By letter dated March 30, 2010 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML100900460), Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC (NMPNS) submitted a license amendment for Nine Mile Point, Unit 1\\10. 2 (NI\\IIP2). The proposed amendment requests to modify Technical Specification (TS) 3.8.1, "AC Sources-Operating;' to extend the completion time for an inoperable Division 1 or Division 2 diesel generator from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 14 days. The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this amendment 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.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the TSs) 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.

By letter dated May 11, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML101230727), the NRC staff identified several informational needs that were necessary to enable the staff to 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. By letter dated June 1, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML101600452), you provided a supplement to your submittal.

The NRC staff has found the supplement responsive to the staffs cited information needs, and concludes that the application and supplemental information provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review. If additional information is needed for the NRC staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.
