Subject:
LIC-109 Acceptance for Palisades Program Plan for Aging Management of Reactor Vessel Internals -
ME9569
By letter dated September 13, 2012, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO)(the licensee) submitted Revised Program Plan for Aging Management of Reactor Vessel Internals for Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) (ADAMS Accession No. ML12257A352). This Program Plan is a re-submittal before October 1, 2012, in accordance with the approved MRP-227-A to meet the revised license renewal commitment.
The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff=s acceptance review of this submittal. 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.
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 program plan 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 staff=s detailed technical review by separate correspondence.
If you have any questions, please contact the me, at (301)415 8371 or Mahesh.chawla@nrc.gov.
