The response to the RAIs is provided in Enclosure 1 of this letter.Enclosure 2 provides the CNS redline version of the Emergency Action Level Technical Bases U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission CNS-1 6-010 Page 2 Document Revision 1. Enclosure 3 provides the CNS clean version of the Emergency Action Level Document Revision 1.CNS anticipates that the LAR as approved will be effective upon issuance and requests implementation by March 10, 2017, due to the need for operator training.
