Acceptance Review of MF4259 and MF4260 - License Amendment to Revise Technical Specification 3.8.1 By letter dated June 9, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML14160A593), Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation, doing business as Xcel Energy (NSPM or the licensee), submitted a license amendment request for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP), Units 1 and 2. The proposed amendment would revise the steady state voltage and frequency in certain Surveillance Requirements in Technical Specification 3.8.1. 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 the June 9, 2014 submittal 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 evaluation 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. You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staffs detailed technical review by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
