SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION NEEDED FOR ACCEPTANCE OF REQUESTED LICENSING ACTION RE: LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST 246 FOR CHANGES TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY VENTILATION SYSTEM (CAC NOS. MF8221 AND MF8222)
Dear Mr. Nazar:
By letter L-2016-246 dated August 3, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML16230A003), Florida Power & Light Company (the licensee) requested amendments to the Technical Specifications (TSs) of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4, respectively.
The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this license 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 TSs) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 1 O 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 the licensee's application and concluded that the information delineated in the enclosure to this letter is necessary to enable the staff to 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.
In order to make the application complete, the NRC staff requests that the licensee supplement the application to address the information requested in the enclosure within 13 days of the date of this letter. This will enable the NRC staff to begin its detailed technical review. If the information responsive to the NRC staff's request is not received by the above date, the application will not be accepted for review pursuant to 10 CFR 2.101, and the NRC will cease its
review activities associated with the application. If the application is subsequently accepted for review, you will be advised of any further information needed to support the staff's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.
The information requested and the associated timeframe in this letter were discussed in a telephone call with Ms. Olga Hanek on September 21, 2016.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-0489 or Audrey.Klett@nrc.gov.
