ACTION: Ginna (TAC MF6358) Application for TSTF-425 Acceptance for NRC Review Importance:
High
SUBJECT:
R.E. Ginna; Docket No. 50-244 License Amendment Request for Technical Specification Change Regarding Risk-Informed Justification for the Relocation of Specific Surveillance Frequency Requirements to a Licensee Controlled Program (Adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3) (TAC No. MF6358)
By letter dated June 4, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15166A075 ) Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Ginna. The proposed amendment would modify Ginnas TS by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program with the implementation of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-10, "Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 5b, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies." The changes are consistent with NRC-approved Industry Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specifications (STS) change TSTF-425, Revision 3, (ADAMS Accession No. ML090850642). The Federal Register Notice published on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996), announced the availability of this TS improvement.
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 informed of any further supplementary needs to support the NRC staffs detailed technical review by separate correspondence.
