SUBJECT:

LICENSE RENEWALAPPLICATIONTIMELINESS N

Dear Mr. Overbeck:

On March 2, 1999, we received your February 26, 1999, letter transmitting a license renewal application for 1 Reactor Operator.

This license had an expiration date of March 5, 1999.

10 CFR 55.55(b), states that renewal applications filed at least 30 days before the date of expiration willnot expire until final disposition by the Commission.

However, applications for renewal not filed at least 30 days before expiration of the current License are not afforded this protection and would expire absent disposition by the Commission prior to the expiration of the current License. Any such instance would require application for a new License under the provisions of 10CFR 55.31.

In this particular instance, we were able to complete our review of your request to renew this license prior to license expiration avoiding possible license expiration. For future renewals, we

'request that you provide your requests for renewal as soon as practicable in order to avoid unnecessary instances of expiration.

Ifyou have any questions you may contact me at (817) 860-8159.

No response to this letter is required.

Sincerely, I

stresses, self-relieved thermal moment, and neutral axis location obtained from the CECAP program are compared with the hand calculations in table 3B.9-1.

Xt can be seen that the CECAP results compare'favorably with the hand calculations.

3B.9.1.6 Conclusions The difference in the stress results are largely due to the accuracy limit defined for the force iterations.

Smaller errors would result with smaller accuracy limits, but the trade-of f would be with longer run times.

The CECAP program is verified for this type of thermal loading.
