LIC-109 Acceptance Review - Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) LAR (TSCR-144) to Revise and Relocate Pressure and Temperature Limit Curves to a Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR) - MF6617 By letter dated July 30, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML15253A310, ML15253A313, and ML15253A313),

NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC (NextEra Energy Duane Arnold) (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC). The proposed amendment revises TS Section 1.1, "Definitions,"' Section 3.4.9, "RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits,"' and Section 5.6, "Reporting Requirements," by replacing the existing reactor vessel heatup and cooldown rate limits and the pressure and temperature (P-T) limit curves with references to a Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR).

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. 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.

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 staff to proceed with 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. If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.
