TMI-1 ISFSI-Only Security Plan License Amendment Request Date: Wednesday, August 18, 2021 5:08:00 PM

Craig, By letter dated April 29, 2021, Exelon Generation submitted an ISFSI security plan for TMI-1 to provide the TMI-1 ISFSI-only security plan. The proposed security plan would apply to the TMI-1 ISFSI only, upon completion of the fuel dry storage campaign and removal of all spent fuel from the fuel storage pool.

The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this 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 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 security plan in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and security. 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. You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staffs detailed technical review by separate correspondence.

Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 350 hours0.00405 days <br />0.0972 hours <br />5.787037e-4 weeks <br />1.33175e-4 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review in approximately 10 months, which is May 30, 2022. If there are emergent complexities or resource or other 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, unanticipated addition of scope to the review, review by NRC advisory committees or hearing-related activities, or changes in supporting resource priorities. Additional delay may occur if the submittal is provided to the NRC in advance or in parallel with industry program initiatives or pilot applications.
