H. B. Robinson, Unit No. 2 - NRC Acceptance of Requested Licensing Action Re: Amendment Request (EPID L-2019-LLA-0119)
Mr. Zaremba,
By letter dated June 4, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML19155A037), Duke Energy (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2 (Robinson). The proposed amendment would revise the Robinson Technical Specification (TS) 3.8.2, AC Sources - Shutdown, Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.8.2.1 to reflect that the Robinson SR 3.8.1.18 is not required to be met in the TS 3.8.2 Applicability. The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this amendment 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 submittal and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the amendment 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. You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staffs detailed technical review by separate correspondence.
Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that the LAR will take approximately 220 hours0.00255 days <br />0.0611 hours <br />3.637566e-4 weeks <br />8.371e-5 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete the review of the licensing action by June 2020. 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.
These estimates are based on the NRC 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)415-7410.
- Thanks,
-Nate Natreon (Nate) Jordan Nuclear Engineer (Project Manager)
