Dear Mr. Peters:

By letter dated December 15, 2017, Framatome Inc. (Framatome, formerly AREVA Inc.)

submitted Topical Report (TR) ANP-10346P, Revision 0, ATWS-I Analysis Methodology for BWRs Using RAMONA5-FA (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML17355A231). The TR presents a methodology for the evaluation of the Anticipated Transient Without Scram with Instability (ATWS-I) for boiling water reactors (BWRs) using a recent version of the RAMONA5-FA methodology.

The NRC staff performed a regulatory audit at Framatomes facility in Richland, Washington on June 11-13, 2018. Enclosed for your information is a copy of the plan the NRC staff followed on the audit.
