Acceptance Review - PWR Internal Aging Management Program Plan (MF2554, MF2555, MF2556)

Rob, By letter dated September 28, 2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML122780119), Arizona Public Service (APS, the licensee) submitted the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Internals Aging Management Program Plan for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2 and 3. The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this Program Plan. 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 PWR Internals Aging Management 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 staff's ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

Please contact me at (301) 415-1530 if you have any questions.

Thanks, Jennie Jennie Rankin, Project Manager Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Diablo Canyon Power Plant Plant Licensing Branch IV Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 1
