Acceptance for Review of Application to Revise the Palisades Nuclear Plant License Renewed Facility Operation License Regarding Full Compliance Implementation Date for the Fire Protection Program

Dear Ms. Halter:

By letter dated March 8, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Package Accession No. ML19067A004), Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) that requested an extension to the full compliance implementation date for the fire protection program transition license condition.

The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of the proposed LAR. 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.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, an amendment to the license must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application 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 proposed amendment 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 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> to complete and that the review can be completed by the end of August 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.

These estimates are based on the staffs initial review of the application and they could change, due to several factors including requests for additional information, unanticipated addition of scope to the review, and review by NRC advisory committees or hearing-related activities.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-1627.

Sincerely, Kimberly J. Green, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch III Division of Operating Reactor Licensing 1
