NRC LIC-109 Acceptance Review Results for Oconee RR 19-ON-001 (EPID L-2019-LLR-0028)

Hi Art, By letter RA-19-0028 dated March 21, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML19084A197), Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (the licensee) submitted Relief Request No. 19-ON-001 and proposed an alternative to the defect removal requirements of American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code,Section XI, Article IWA-4000 at Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3. 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 190 hours7.917 days <br />1.131 weeks <br />0.26 months <br /> to complete its review of the application and that it will complete its review by March 31, 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.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-0489 or Audrey.Klett@nrc.gov.
