Acceptance Review of LaSalle Unit 2 LAR Re: Removal of License Condiions for Spent Fuel Pool Interim Configurations (TAC No. ME9799)

Ms. Simpson, By letter dated October 15, 2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML12290A111), Exelon Generation Company, LLC submitted a license amendment for LaSalle County Station, Unit 2. The propose amendment request would remove the Operating License conditions that previously addressed the interim configurations of the spent fuel pool during the NETCO-SNAP-IN inserts loading campaign. The purpose of this letter 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 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 TS) 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.

In accordance with our process as described in LIC-109, "Acceptance Review Procedures," I am placing a copy of this email in ADAMS as a publicly-available, official agency record.

Sincerely, Nick DiFrancesco Project Manager - LaSalle and Power Uprate Program U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Division of Operating Reactor Licensing nicholas.difrancesco@nrc.gov l Tel: (301) 415-1115 1
