Subject:

Acceptance Review for D.C. Cook Units 1 and 2 REL-002 (MF6546/6547)

By letter dated July 31, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15216A121), Indiana Michigan Power Company submitted, under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.55a(f)(6)(i), a request for relief for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, Inservice Testing Program. The proposed relief would allow seat leakage testing for refueling water storage tank valves in a reverse flow direction.

The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this 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 request 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 at (301) 415-2846.

Sincerely, Allison W. Dietrich, Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch III-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 301-415-2846 1
