During the 655th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS), which took place July 11-13, 2018, the ACRS completed its review of the maximum extended load line limit plus (MELLLA+) license amendment request for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2 (Brunswick), as well as of the associated draft safety evaluation prepared by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff.

The ACRS provided its report on the Brunswick MELLLA+ license amendment request to Chairman Kristine Svinicki in a letter dated July 19, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML18200A387).

Sincerely,
