NRC Acceptance Review for Amendment Request Regarding Electrical Power Systems Alignments for Shared Systems

Cecil, By letter dated May 26, 2016, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, Inc. submitted a license amendment request for the Catawba Nuclear Station, (ADAMS Accession No. ML16147A105; TAC Nos. MF7748 and MF7749) to add descriptions to several sections of the Updated Final Safety Analysis reports to clarify how a shutdown unit supplying either its normal or emergency power source may be credited for operability of shared components supporting the operating unit. The purpose of this e-mail 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.

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.
