Acceptance Review - Oyster Creek - Request from Record Retention Requirements (EPID No. L-2018-LLE-0006)
Dear Mr. Helker:
By letter dated April 12, 2018 (ML18102A763), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) submitted an exemption for Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this exemption 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 application 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 exemption in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that impact the NRC staffs ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.
Exelon requested that the NRC complete its review of this proposed exemption by December 31, 2018. As you know, the NRC has a metric to complete 90-percent of its licensing actions in 1-year, and a metric to complete 100-percent of its licensing actions in 2-years. Exelon has requested this exemption to be completed in approximately 8-months; this is less than the 1-year metric. The NRC staff cannot guarantee that it will complete its review of this proposed exemption in the requested time. Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 200 hours8.333 days <br />1.19 weeks <br />0.274 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff will endeavor to complete this review in approximately 8 months, which is December 2018. If there are emergent complexities or challenges in our review that would cause changes to the initial forecasted completion date or significant changes in the forecasted hours, the reasons for the changes, along with the new estimates, will be communicated during the routine interactions with the assigned project manager.
These estimates are based on the NRC staffs initial review of the application and they could change, due to several factors including requests for additional information, and unanticipated addition of scope to the review.
Additional delay may occur if the submittal is provided to the NRC in advance or in parallel with industry program initiatives or pilot applications.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
