Acceptance Review for Farley Nexus LAR By letter dated August 14, 2012, Southern Nuclear submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for the Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP). The LAR proposes to revise Technical Specification 5.6.5, "Core Operating Limits Report," to reference and allow use of Westinghouse WCAP-16045-P-A, Addendum 1-A, "Qualification of the NEXUS Nuclear Data Methodology,"

to determine core operating limits. The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to perform a detailed technical review.

The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the request has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

The NRC staff has reviewed your request and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to perform a detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed request 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 in requests for additional information 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.
