UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Mr. Michael J. Pacilio President and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555 November 18, 2013
SUBJECT:
OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION -ACCEPTANCE OF REQUESTED LICENSING ACTION REGARDING THE REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TITLE 10 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS, PART 50, APPENDIX E (TAC NO. MF2903)
Dear Mr. Pacilio:
By letter dated October 14, 2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML13288A177), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon or the licensee) requested approval of a one-time exemption from the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Appendix E,Section IV.F.2.b and IV.F.2.c for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station.
The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this exemption 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 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.
Pursuant with 10 CFR 50.12(a)(1 ), the NRC may grant exemptions from certain requirements of the 1 0 CFR 50 regulations that are authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety, and are consistent with the common defense and security.
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 exemption 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. You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staff's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.
Please contact me at (301) 415-2481 if you have any questions regarding this exemption.
