TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS REVISIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW TEMPERATURE OVERPRESSURE PROTECTION SYSTEM AND THE PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT (TAC NOS. ME9256 AND ME9257) (NL-12-0868)
Dear Mr. Pierce:
By letter dated August 15, 2012, as supplemented by letters dated March 14, 2013, and June 14, 2013, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., (Southern Nuclear, the licensee) submitted a proposed license amendment for Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2.
The proposed amendment consists of changes to the Technical Specifications Low Temperature Overpressure Protection System and the Pressure and Temperature limits Report in response to your application dated August 15. 2012. lhese amendments implement new 54 Effective Full Power Years pressure and temperature limit curves as a result of adopting the NRC approved methodology in WCAP-14040-A, "Methodology Used to Develop Cold Overpressure Mitigating System Setpoints and RCS Heatup and CooldoW1limit Curves,"
Revision 4, May 2004.
Enclosed is the draft Safety Evaluation (SE) that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has prepared to support the proposed license amendment. Pursuant to Section 2.390 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). we have made a preliminary determination that the enclosed draft SE does not contain proprietary information. However, Since the NRC's review was based largely on review of proprietary information. the NRC staff requests that the licensee confirm that the draft SE does not contain any information that is considered proprietary. If you believe that any information is proprietary, please identify such information line-by-line and define the baSis pursuant to the criteria of 10 CFR 2.390.
The NRC staff requests that Southern Nuclear provide comments regarding the proprietary content in the draft SE within 5 business days from the date of this letter. The response timeframe was discussed with Ms. Lesa Hill on September 5, 2013.
Since the NRC review is not yet complete. this letter and the enclosure do not conveyor represent an NRC staff position regarding the licensee's request. Should the amendment be approved, the NRC staff will issue a publicly available, nonproprietary version of the SE.
EnclO$uro transmitted herewith contains sensitive unclassified information.
When separated from enclosuro, this transmittal document Is decontrolled.
