PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1 - ACCEPTANCE FOR REVIEW OF REQUEST TO USE ASME CODE CASE N-513-4 (CAC NO. MG0130) (L-17-278)

Dear Mr. Lashley:

By letter dated August 20, 2017, as supplemented by letter dated August 21, 2017, First Energy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) submitted a request for Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, to use American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Case N-513-4, Evaluation Criteria for Temporary Acceptance of Flaws in Moderate Energy Class 2 or 3 Piping,Section XI, Division 1, to allow temporary acceptance of a through-wall flaw in a moderate energy Class 3 piping elbow in the emergency closed cooling system without performing repair or replacement activities.

The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of the proposed alternative 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 request 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 request in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. This acceptance review was initially completed as part of the emergent review of the request to use the alternative and subsequent verbal authorization, granted by the NRC staff on August 21, 2017. As stated during the call, the NRC staff will issue a written safety evaluation to document its findings. If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 120 hours5 days <br />0.714 weeks <br />0.164 months <br /> to complete.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Sincerely, Kimberly Green (301) 415-1627 kimberly.green@nrc.gov 1
