VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 23261 December 16, 2019 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Serial No.: NA3-19-005 Attention: Document Control Desk NRA/SS RO Washington, D. C. 20555 Docket No.: 52-017 License No.: NPF-103 VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY NORTH ANNA UNIT 3 SUBMISSION OF PERIODIC REPORTS The purpose of this letter is to submit periodic reports for North Anna Unit 3 as required by NRC regulations and/or license conditions for a Part 52 combined license holder.
These reports address various annual or semi-annual reporting requirements. The following reports are addressed by this letter:
- Semi-Annual Departures Report
- Annual FSAR Update, including site-specific Tier 1 material
- Semi-Annual Changes, Tests, and Experiments Report
- Semi-Annual Schedule for Implementation of Operational Programs Semi-Annual Departures Report. The design certification rule for the GEH ESBWR (10 CFR 52, Appendix E) became effective on November 14, 2014. Paragraph X.B.3.b of the rule requires the COL holder who references the ESBWR DCD to submit semi annual reports to the NRC that describe plant-specific departures from the DCD. The departures report for North Anna Unit 3 consists of the departures section from the North Anna Unit 3 Combined License Application (COLA), Part 7, Departures Report.
An updated departures report was submitted to the NRC most recently by letter NA3-16-050, dated December 16, 2016 (ML16355A182). No departures that were included in the December 16, 2016 letter have been revised or deleted, and no new departures have been identified. Therefore, the previous report continues to be current.
Annual FSAR Update, including site-specific Tier 1 material. 10 CFR 50.71(e)(3)(iii) requires that the FSAR filed as part of the COLA be updated annually until the Commission makes the finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g). The FSAR information was most recently submitted on June 22, 2016 (ML16208A322) as part of North Anna Unit 3 COLA submissions 18 and 19 which included Part 2, FSAR. No FSAR information has been revised, deleted, or added since that submittal. Therefore, the previously submitted FSAR continues to be current.
Semi-Annual Changes, Tests, and Experiments Report. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.59(d)(2), holders of combined licenses are required to submit a report containing a brief description of any changes, tests and experiments, and summary of the evaluation of each. This report is required to be submitted at intervals not to exceed six months
