By letter dated June 25, 2013, Entergy Operations, Inc., (Entergy) requested, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii), relief from the requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code Case N-770-1, as conditioned by 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(F) pertaining to volumetric examinations of the dissimilar metal welds associated with the suction and discharge piping for the Reactor Coolant Pumps at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2). The required coverage could not be obtained due to interference or geometry.

The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this additional request for alternative. 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 to Sections 50.55a(a)(3)(i) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed alternative would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. The NRC staff has reviewed the licensees application and concludes that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the additional request for alternative in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, the licensee will be advised by separate correspondence.
