SNC proposed to adopt NEI 99-01, Revision 6, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Passive Reactors," to replace the Emergency Action Level (EAL) schemes for the facilities above that are currently based on Revision 4. In addition, SNC proposed changes to the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) steam generator relief & safety valve monitoring system radiation monitors RE-60A, RE-608, and RE-60C, and the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump steam exhaust monitoring system radiation monitor RE-60D due to the limitations of these monitors.

On August 29, 2016, the NRC staff, upon a determination that additional information was needed to complete its review, issued a letter requesting that SNC respond to their enclosed questions within 60 days (ADAMS Accession No. ML 16222A295).

The NRC Requests for Additional Information (RAls) and the SNC responses are provided in the Attachment to this letter. Also enclosed with this letter are appropriate revisions, with marked-up pages and clean copies, to the original enclosures provided with the March 3, 2016 license amendment request. SNC is notifying the states of Georgia and Alabama of this response to the NRC RAls by transmitting a copy of this letter and enclosures to the designated state official.

This letter contains no NRC commitments.
