SUBJECT:
MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNIT NO.2 - SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION NEEDED FOR ACCEPTANCE OF REQUESTED LICENSING ACTION RE: SPENT FUEL STORAGE AMENDMENT (TAC NO. MF0435)
Dear Mr. Heacock:
By letter dated December 17, 2012, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DNC) submitted a license amendment for the Millstone Power Station, Unit 2 (MPS2). The proposed amendment would revise Technical Specification (TS) 1.39 "Storage Pattern," TS 3.9.18, "Spent Fuel Pool Storage," TS 3.9.19, "Spent Fuel Pool-Storage Patterns," TS 5.3.1 "Fuel Assemblies,"
TS 5.6.1. "Criticality," and TS 5.6.3, "Capacity." These changes reflect the results and constraints of a new criticality safety analysis for fuel assembly storage in the MPS2 fuel storage racks. The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this amendment. 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 the justification for the continued credit for Boraflex is necessary to enable the staff to make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendmenVrelief request in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment.
In order to make the application complete, the NRC staff requests that DNC supplement the application to address the information requested by March 1, 2013. This will enable the NRC staff to begin its detailed technical review. If the information responsive to the NRC staff's request is not received by the above date, the application will not be accepted for review pursuant to 10 CFR 2.101, and the NRC will cease its review activities associated with the application. If the application is subsequently accepted for reView, you will be advised of any further information needed to support the staff's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.
