ACCEPTANCE REVIEW RE: CLINTON POWER STATION UNIT 1 RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER I3R-09 ASSOCIATED WITH THE THIRD INSERVICE INSPECTION INTERVAL By letter dated August 23, 2012 (Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML12236A405), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) submitted a relief request for Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 (Clinton). The proposed relief request would authorize a testing alternative to the performance of VT-2 visual inspections for Combustible Gas Control system piping. The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this relief 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.

Pursuant to Sections 50.55a(a)(3)(ii) of Title 10 of the Code of FederalRegulations (10 CFR), the applicant shall demonstrate that compliance with the specified requirements of Section 50.55a would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality or safety.

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 amendment 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. You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staffs detailed technical review by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact the Clinton Project Manager, Joel Wiebe, at (301) 415-6606.
