Accepted for Review - Brunswick License Amendment Request to change Tech Spec Limit for Standby Liquid Control System Boron Solution Storage Tank Volume L-2021-LLA-0022 Date:
Monday, March 22, 2021 9:15:00 AM By letter dated February 23, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21054A197), Duke Energy (thelicensee) requested U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of a license amendment request to change the Technical Specifications for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2. Specifically, the proposed change increases the minimum boron solution storage tank volume requirements of Figure 3.1.7-1, "Sodium Pentaborate Solution Volume Versus Concentration Requirements," for the standby liquid control system. 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 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 independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment 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 this licensing amendment request will take approximately 230 hours0.00266 days <br />0.0639 hours <br />3.80291e-4 weeks <br />8.7515e-5 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this by March 10, 2022, which you requested to support your outage schedule. 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 assigned project manager.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
