Dear Mr. Peters:

By letter dated August 28, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18242A443), Framatome, Inc., submitted Topical Report (TR)

ANP-10339P, Revision 0, ARITA - ARTEMIS/RELAP Integrated Transient Analysis Methodology (ADAMS Package No. ML18242A480), to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for review and approval. The proposed TR presents a coupled code system and evaluation models for the analysis of most pressurized water reactor (PWR) non-Loss-of-Coolant Accident events identified in Chapter 15, Transient and Accident Analysis, of NUREG-0800 (Standard Review Plan).

On December 7 through 11, 2020, the NRC staff conducted a virtual regulatory audit to discuss major topics of the TR review associated with the request for additional information (RAI) responses received in March 2019, March 2020, July 2020, and November 2020 (ADAMS Package Accession Nos. ML19078A260, ML20097E582, ML20237F488, and ML20335A217, respectively). The results of the audit provided additional information to support the NRC staff safety evaluation of the TR. The audit report is enclosed.
