HCGS MUR draft EICB Request for Additional Information.msg Final Request for Additional Information (L-2017-LLS-0002)
On November 17, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff sent PSEG (the licensee) a draft Request for Additional Information (RAI) as provided in the attached document. These RAI questions relate to a license amendment request (LAR) that proposes to increase the rated thermal power level from 3840 megawatts thermal to 3902 megawatts thermal, and make technical specification changes as necessary to support operation at the uprated power level. This is referred to as a measurement uncertainty recapture (MUR) uprate.
Subsequently. Mr. Brian Thomas of PSEG, informed the NRC staff that the questions were understood and PSEG agreed to provide a response to this final RAI within 30 days. If PSEG does not respond by this date, the requested completion date for the MUR decision may not be met by the NRC.
The NRC staff also informed the licensee that a publicly available version of this final RAI would be placed in the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).
By letter dated July 7, 2017, (ADAMS package Accession No. ML17188A259), the licensee requested an amendment to the Operating License for Hope Creek Generating Station.
The proposed amendment requests a MUR uprate for Hope Creek. The NRC staff requires additional information to complete its review of this request as detailed in the attached document.
