Cooper Nuclear Station - Acceptance Review for the License Amendment Application to Replace TS Figure 4.1-1 with Text, Site and Exclusion Area Boundaries and Low-Population Zone (CAC No. MF6692)

By letter dated September 8, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML15258A185), Nebraska Public power District submitted a license amendment request for Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS), requesting an approval to replace Technical Specification (TS) Figure 4.1-1, Site and Exclusion Area Boundaries and Low Population Zone, with a text description in TS 4.1, Site Location. in addition, a typographical error is being corrected from LGHR to LHGR [Linear Heat Generation Rate] in Section 1.1, Definitions. The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this license 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.

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 license amendment 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.
