LIC-109 Acceptance Review - Fermi 2 - LAR - Revise the RHR Suppression Pool Cooling Flow Rate in TS - SR 3.6.2.3.2 - ME7828 By letter dated January 10, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML120110145), DTE Energy submitted a license amendment request for Fermi 2. The proposed amendment will revise the RHR Suppression Pool Cooling SR 3.6.2.3.2 - flow requirements from greater than or equal to 10,000 gpm to greater than or equal to 9,250 gpm.
The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff=s acceptance review of this amendment. 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.
