UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 October 15, 2018 Ms. Cheryl A. Gayheart Regulatory Affairs Director Southern Nuclear Operating Co., Inc.
3535 Colonnade Parkway Birmingham, AL 35243
SUBJECT:
EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 -
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE RR-V-12 REGARDING MAIN STEAM SAFETY RELIEF VALVE TESTING (EPID L-2018-LLR-0054)
Dear Ms. Gayheart:
By letter dated April 9, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18099A146), the Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (SNC or licensee) submitted an alternative request for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The proposed alternative RR-V-12 would extend the frequency for testing all main steam safety relief valves for each unit from once every 5 years to once every 3 refueling cycles (i.e., 6 years), as allowed by American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Case OMN-17.
Subsequently, by letter dated July 18, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18199A588), SNC withdrew the alternative request. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff had recently approved the code case for unconditional use in Regulatory Guide 1.192.
The purpose of this letter is to advise you that the NRC has received your request to withdraw the application dated April 9, 2018, and upon receiving the withdrawal letter, the NRC staff ceased its review of the above-cited application.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, I may be reached at 301-415-4032 or via email at Randy.Hall@nrc.gov.
