Expedited License Amendment Request February 13, 2020 Public Meeting with Southern Nuclear Operating Company
Expedited License Amendment Review (LAR)
- The quickest turnaround time for a non-exigent LAR is approximately 35 days.
- 10 CFR 50.91 requires a 30-day public comment period.
- The staff would aim to issue an individual Federal Register Notice (FRN) within 5 days of receiving the LAR.
Applicability and Resource
- Applies to low-risk, low-complexity, or Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) compliance LARs that impact the construction schedule.
- Pre-submittal meeting with a draft LAR would assist the staffs understanding.
- Schedule assumes requests for additional information or supplements are not needed.
- Resource hours expected to start at 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> and increase based on complexity.
Examples of Potential Types of Requests Tier 1 definitions of as-built and test limit flexibility to test systems.
- ITAAC 178 dictates accumulator flow resistance tests be performed using nitrogen. A potential LAR would change ITAAC to perform test with air instead of nitrogen.
- ITAAC 195 requires inspections on coating density to ensure coating will not transport. A potential LAR would change the time the inspections are complete until after the 103(g) finding.
Special Steps for NRC Staff
- Expedite docketing of the application into ADAMS.
- Expedite issuance of individual FRN.
- For straight-forward compliance LARs where alignment between project manager (PM) and technical staff has been reached during pre-application activities, PM may draft the safety evaluation and technical staff concur, if necessary.
- Potential expedited OGC review.
The pilot will confirm
- Feasibility of publishing individual FRN in 5 days.
- Accuracy of initial resource estimate.
- Any potential safety evaluation boilerplate language/conclusions that can be leveraged.
