Clinton, Unit 1 - Acceptance Review for Application to Revise Technical Specifications to Adopt TSTF-476

Ken, By letter dated September 28, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML18271A217), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) requested to add a footnote to technical specification (TS) Table 3.3.2.1-1, "Control Rod Block Instrumentation." In addition, TS Bases Sections 3.1.6, "Control Rod Pattern," and 3.3.2.1, "Control Rod Block Instrumentation," are revised to allow CPS to reference a new Banked Position Withdrawal Sequence (BPWS) shutdown sequence. Exelon states that the changes are consistent with NRC approved Industry Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)

Standard Technical Specification Change Traveler, TSTF-476, Revision 1, "Improved BPWS Control Rod Insertion Process (NEDO-33091). The request is applicable to Clinton Power Station, Unit 1. The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this 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 request 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 request 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.

Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 60 hours2.5 days <br />0.357 weeks <br />0.0822 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review in approximately 11 months, which is September 2019. 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.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-6606.
