NRC Acceptance Review for LAR W3F1-2013-0043
- Joe, By letter dated November 11, 2013, Entergy Operations, Inc. submitted a license amendment request for Waterford Unit 3 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13316C052; TAC No. MF3058) to revise the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) to clarify pressurizer heaters function for natural circulation at the onset of a loss of offsite power. Specifically, the proposed amendment will provide clarification in the UFSAR that manual action outside of the Control Room is needed to energize the pressurizer heaters associated with natural circulation at the onset of a loss of offsite power in the even that a specific common circuit breaker is concurrently open.
The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. 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 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 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.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
