UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTON, DC 20555 - 0001 July 20, 2011 Mr. R.W. Borchardt Executive Director for Operations U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF ACRS REVIEW OF FINAL RULE: U.S.
ADVANCED BOILING WATER REACTOR AIRCRAFT IMPACT DESIGN CERTIFICATION AMENDMENT (RIN 3150-AI84)
Dear Mr. Borchardt:
During the 5 8 5 th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, July 13-15, 2011, we reviewed the request from the Division of New Reactor Licensing, Office of New Reactors (NRO), dated June 27, 2011, asking the ACRS to waive our review of the Final Rule on the U.S.
Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) Design Certification Amendment. The amendment to the certified ABWR design requested by the South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) on June 30, 2009, addresses the requirements of 10 CFR 50.150, "Aircraft Impact Assessment."
Our letter, dated September 20, 2010, to the Commission documented our review of the staff's safety evaluation report (SER) related to the requested amendment to the ABWR design certification. In that letter we stated that the design certification amendment application and the staff's SER were acceptable subject to satisfactory closure of issues related to the Notice of Violation resulting from the staff's inspection and our Recommendation 2. Our Recommendation 2 relates to the environmental qualification of the Alternate Feedwater System instrumentation.
We find the request to waive ACRS review of the subject final rule to be acceptable because the changes to the final rule described in the June 27, 2011, request do not affect our conclusions.
Sincerely, IRA/
