Acceptance Review for TMI License Amendment Request Regarding the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST), TAC No. MF6504 Importance: High

Dear David Helker and Frank Mascitelli:

By letter dated July 23, 2015, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15204A843), as supplemented by letter dated July 28, 2015 (ADAMS No. ML15209A960), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) requested an amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-50 for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1. The proposed amendment would modify technical specification (TS) requirements to allow for the temporary connection of the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST) to non-seismic piping for cleanup and recirculation to support activities associated with the TMI-1 Fall 2015 Refueling Outage and Fuel Cycle 21 operation.

The purpose of this correspondence 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 TSs) 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) 415-1022 or via e-mail at Robert.Gladney@nrc.gov.
