MF4786 & MF4787 - ACCEPTANCE OF REQUESTED LICENSING ACTION RE: License Amendment Request- Experience Eligibility Requirements for Licensed Operators

SUBJECT:

Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit Nos. 1 and 2; Docket Nos. 50-220 and 50-410 Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-63 and NPF-69 License Amendment Request Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90: Change to Technical Specification Requirements Regarding Education and Experience Eligibility Requirements for Licensed Operators (TAC Nos. MF4786 & MF4787)

By letter dated September 11, 2014, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The proposed changes will change the licensed operator training and qualification education and experience eligibility requirements specified in NMP1 Technical Specification (TS) 6.3.1 and NMP2 TS 5.3.1 to the eligibility requirements specified in this License Amendment Request. The proposed eligibility requirements correspond to the eligibility requirements contained in the current National Academy for Nuclear Training (NANT) Academy Document, ACAD 10-001, "Guidelines for Initial Training and Qualification of Licensed Operators," dated February 2010.

The purpose of this letter 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.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required. This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

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. 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 at (301) 415-3308.
