La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor - Acceptance of License Amendment Request Related to the ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan (EPID No. L-2021-LLA-0063)

Date: Thursday, May 13, 2021 2:23:00 PM

Dear Ms. Olson:

By letter dated March 8, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML21105A033), Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) pertaining to the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Emergency Plan (E-Plan). The proposed amendment would revise the LACBWR ISFSI E-Plan to adopt changes implemented by NAC Internationals Multi-Purpose Canister System (NAC-MPC) Amendment No. 7 to the 10 CFR 72 Certificate of Compliance 1025 for LACBWR, and the NAC-MPC Final Safety Analysis Report, Revision 12, which removes the requirement for the Post Event ISFSI Surveillance. The proposed revisions would also (1) enhance the ISFSI Emergency Action Levels by providing the ability to classify an emergency in an effective and timely manner without entering the ISFSI protected area and (2) make several other changes to the LACBWR ISFSI E-Plan that require prior NRC approval, including the requirements for performance of a medical drill.

The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the NRC staffs acceptance review of this license amendment request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to begin 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 begin its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed license 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 detailed 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 request will take approximately 120 hours0.00139 days <br />0.0333 hours <br />1.984127e-4 weeks <br />4.566e-5 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review by the end of December 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 assigned 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, and unanticipated addition of scope to the review.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-3178 or e-mail at marlayna.doell@nrc.gov.

Cheers, Marlayna Marlayna Vaaler Doell
