H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2 - ACCEPTANCE OF REQUESTED LICENSING ACTION RE: AMENDMENT REQUEST (CAC NO. 7615)
Dear Mr. Glover:
By letter dated April 24, 2016, Duke Energy Progress, Inc. (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant Unit No. 2. The proposed amendment would adopt Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF)-339, "Relocated TS Parameters to the COLR Consistent with WCAP-14483," Revision 2. Based on TSTF-339, the proposed amendment request would relocate reactor coolant system related cycle-specific parameters from the technical specifications to the Core Operating Limits Report.
The purpose of this communication is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs 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 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) 415-6256.
Sincerely, Dennis Galvin Project Manager U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Licensing Project Branch 2-2 1
