Subject:

Limerick Units 1 and 2 - ACCEPTANCE REVIEW: Relief Requesting Residual Heat Removal heat exchanger Category C-A and C-B examinations. EPID: L-2020-LLR-0122 Date: Thursday, September 24, 2020 11:23:01 AM By letter dated September 4, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20252A135) Exelon Generation Company, LLC, submitted a relief request associated with the Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program for Limerick Generating Station (LGS), Units 1 and 2. Specifically, this relief request is associated with Residual Heat Removal heat exchanger Category C-A and C-B examinations. LGS, Units 1 and 2 is currently in the fourth 10-year interval, which began on February 1, 2017.

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 relief request application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed relief 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. If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that review of this request will take approximately 290 hours0.00336 days <br />0.0806 hours <br />4.794974e-4 weeks <br />1.10345e-4 months <br /> for this license amendment to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review in approximately 12 months from acceptance (September 2021). 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 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. Additional delay may occur if the submittal is provided to the NRC in advance or in parallel with industry program initiatives or pilot applications.
