Acceptance Review for Vermont Yankee TS Change No. 306 Coley/Phil -

By letter dated November 14, 2013, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. submitted a license amendment request for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (TAC No. MF3068). The license amendment would implement Technical Specification Task Force Traveler 51, Revise Containment Requirements During Handling Irradiated Fuel and Core Alterations. This amendment would eliminate operability requirements for secondary containment when handling sufficiently decayed irradiated fuel or a fuel cask and while performing core alterations.

The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this amendment 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.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it provides 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 amendment 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 staffs 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 if you have any questions. A copy of this email will be made publicly available in ADAMS.
