Subject:

Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding A License Amendment Request Proposing Changes to Emergency Diesel Generator Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirements (CAC No. MF9828)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

By application dated June 5, 2017 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML17156A216), Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy),

submitted a license amendment request to change Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 (HNP) Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirements established for the Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs). The proposed changes would restrict the steady-state voltage and frequency limits for EOG operation to ensure that accident mitigation equipment can perform as designed. The proposed changes would also increase the voltage limit for the EOG full load rejection test.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviewed the request and determined that additional information is needed to complete their review. Duke Energy received a request for additional information (RAI) from the NRC staff through electronic mail on October 2, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17289A306). A clarification call for the RAI was held on October 4, 2017, and a due date of November 2, 2017, was agreed upon for the RAI response.

On October 26, 2017, Duke Energy informed the NRC staff that additional time is needed to provide the RAI response and proposed a new date of November 27, 2017. The NRC staff agreed to a new due date of November 27, 2017, for the RAI response.

Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Jeff Robertson, Manager - Regulatory Affairs, at (919) 362-3137.

Sincerely,
