SUBJECT:

APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL OF THE RANCHO SECO INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION LICENSE NO. SNM 2510 - ACCEPTED FOR REVIEW (CAC/EPID Nos. 001028/L-2018-RNW-0005; 000993/L-2018-LNE-0004)

Dear Mr. Tallman:

By letter dated March 19, 2018, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) submitted an application for renewal of the Rancho Seco Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation, License No. SNM-2510 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML18101A024). The submittal of the license renewal application was timely per the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 72.42(b) and (c). In the application, SMUD requested to renew the license for an additional 40 years. The U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff performed an acceptance review of the application.

By letter dated May 29, 2018, the NRC staff requested SMUD submit supplemental information to enable the NRC staff to begin a detailed review of the license renewal application (ADAMS Accession No. ML18150A086). By letter dated June 25, 2018, SMUD submitted responses to the NRC request for supplemental information (RSI) (ADAMS Accession No. ML18179A258).

The staff has reviewed SMUDs RSI responses and has determined the application, supplemented by the RSI responses, now contains sufficient technical information in scope and depth to begin a detailed technical review.

This letter acknowledges acceptance of your application. We have established a schedule for the review. The schedule allows for the staff to complete its technical review and issue a request for additional information (RAI) by the end of October 2018, and the license renewal by the end of June 2019, based on you responding to the RAI in mid-December 2018. If no RAI is needed, and based on the staffs evaluation, the approval may be issued at an earlier time. If an additional RAI is needed, the staff will keep you informed of any schedule changes. In general, no additional changes to the application should be submitted except for changes resulting from your response to an RAI.

D. Tallman 2 If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (301) 415-7213 or Wendy.Reed@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
