Mr. Bryan C. Hanson Senior Vice President UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 February 4, 2016 Exelon Generation Company, LLC President and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555
SUBJECT:
DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 -ACCEPTANCE OF LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO INCREASE THE MINIMUM REQUIRED FUEL OIL IN EACH STANDBY DIESEL GENERATOR FUEL OIL DAY TANK AND PROPOSED CHANGE TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 3.8.1, "AC SOURCES-OPERATING" (CAC NOS. MF7158 AND MF7159)
Dear Mr. Hanson:
By letter dated December 14, 2015 (RS-15-297)(Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15348A224), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS), Units 2 and 3. The proposed amendment request would increase the minimum required fuel oil in each standby diesel generator fuel oil day tank and change technical specification (TS) 3.8.1, "AC Sources - Operating." The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's 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 staff's ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staff's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.
If you have any questions, please contact Russell Haskell at (301) 415-1129, or email Russell.Haskell@nrc.gov.
