UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTON, DC 20555 - 0001 December 19, 2019 MEMORANDUM TO: Ho K. Nieh, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation FROM: Scott W. Moore, Executive Director /RA/
Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards
SUBJECT:
ACRS REVIEW OF FRAMATOME TOPICAL REPORT ANP-3753P APPLICABILITY OF FRAMATOME BWR METHODS TO SUSQUEHANNA WITH ATRIUMTM 11 FUEL REPORT During the 669th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, December 4-6, 2019, the Committee considered a license amendment request (LAR) that the staff is reviewing, submitted by Talen Energy for Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (Susquehanna) Units 1 and 2 to operate with ATRIUMTM 11 fuel and adopt Framatome methods for core reload evaluations. Associated with this LAR are several licensing topic reports (LTRs),
the most significant of which is ANP-3753P, Applicability of Framatome BWR Methods to Susquehanna with ATRIUMTM 11 Fuel Report, May 2019.
The Committee reviewed and voted to accept recommendations from the individual member who was assigned as the lead reviewer for the LTRs associated with this LAR. The Committee accepted the conclusions of the lead reviewer that the Susquehanna LAR application uses Framatome methodologies that have been approved by the staff and reviewed by ACRS for another licensee. Consequently, the Committee agreed that no additional ACRS review or briefing by the staff or licensee is required for Susquehannas LAR.
