NRC LIC-109 Acceptance Review Results for Oconee TORMIS LAR 2018-02 (EPID L-2018-LLA-0251)
Hi Chris, By letter RA-18-0026 dated September 14, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18264A023), Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (the licensee) submitted License Amendment Request No. 2018-02 and requested amendments to the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report for Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 for the Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, respectively, related to the tornado mitigation licensing basis. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff performs acceptance reviews of applications to determine if the scope and depth of technical information is sufficient for the staff to complete its technical reviews. The acceptance reviews also intend 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 staff concluded that the licensees submittal provides 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 proposed 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, the NRC staff may identify issues that affect its ability to complete the detailed technical review despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. If the NRC staff needs additional information, it will notify the licensee by separate correspondence.
Based on its initial review of the application, the staff estimates that it will take approximately 1500 hours0.0174 days <br />0.417 hours <br />0.00248 weeks <br />5.7075e-4 months <br /> to complete its review of the application and that it will complete its review in or by April 2020. These estimates could change because of several factors, such as requests for additional information, unanticipated addition of application scope, NRC advisory committee reviews, parallel reviews of industry program initiatives or pilot applications, or hearing-related activities. If complexities or challenges during the review cause significant changes to the estimated hours or completion date, the staffs licensing project manager will communicate the new estimates and reasons for the changes to the licensee during routine interactions.
