ACCEPTANCE REVIEW: North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2, LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN WESTINGHOUSE DOCUMENTS NSAL-09-5. REV. 1 AND NSAL-15-1 By letter dated December 10, 2015, Virginia Electric and Power Company (Licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to revise North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications (TS) (ADAMS Accession No. ML15352A108). The proposed license amendment requests the changes to the Technical Specification (TS) TS 3.2.1, Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor. Specifically, the proposed changes would revise the TS to address the issues identified in two Westinghouse communication documents. Specifically, the proposed changes will address the issues identified in Westinghouse Nuclear Safety Advisory Letter NSAL-09-5, Rev. 1 by relocating required operating space reductions (power and AFD) to the Core Operating Limits Report, accompanied by verification for each reload cycle; Westinghouse Nuclear Safety Advisory Letter NSAL-1 5-1, Rev. 0 by defining TS surveillance requirements for steady-state and transient FQ(Z) and corresponding actions with which to apply an appropriate penalty factor to measured results. The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this LAR. 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 301-415-2597.
