Acceptance Review for LAR regarding request to delete Robinson TS for Reactor Protect System Trip on SG Water Level Low Coincident with Steam/feedwater flow Mismatch (ME9516)

Importance: High

Richard, By letter dated September 06, 2012, Carolina Power (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for H. B.

Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No.2. The license amendment request proposes to delete Function 14, SG Water Level - Low, Coincident with Steam Flow/Feedwater Flow Mismatch, from Technical Specifications (TS) Table 3.3.1-1, Reactor Protection System Instrumentation. The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this amendment 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.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required. This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

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.

Please let me know, if you have any questions, Farideh E. Saba, P.E.
