SUBJECT:

PPL Susquehanna, Units 1 and 2- ACCEPTANCE OF REQUESTED LICENSING ACTION RE:

Relief Request RR-02, Extension of Testing Interval for MS SRVs (TAC NO. ME4068 &

ME4069)

By letter dated June 1, 2010, you submitted relief requests RR-02, for the NRC approval to allow for the grace period of 6 months for the test frequency (in addition to the 6-year test frequency which was previously approved) for Main Steam Relief Valves PSV141F013A through H, J through N, P, R, and S (RR-02). The purpose of this communication is to provide the results of the NRC staff=s acceptance review of the relief request.

The acceptance review of the relief request 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 in Component Performance & Testing Branch (CPTB) of Division of Component Integrity (DCI) have reviewed your applications 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.
