Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2 - Acceptance of Requested Licensing Action re: ADOPTION OF TSTF-501, RELOCATE STORED FUEL OIL AND LUBE OIL VOLUME VALUES TO LICENSEE CONTROL. (EPID L-2022-LLA-0048)

Good afternoon, By letter dated March 30, 2022 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML22090A093), Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp. (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The purpose of this e-mail 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 proposed LAR would revise Technical Specification (TS) 3.8.3, Diesel Fuel Oil, Lube Oil, and Starting Air, Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.8.3.1, and SR 3.8.3.2. The proposed changes revise TS 3.8.3 by relocating the current stored diesel fuel oil and lube oil numerical requirements from the TS to the TS Bases so that it may be modified under licensee control. These proposed changes are based on Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-501, Revision 1, Relocate Stored Fuel Oil and Lube Oil Volume Values to Licensee Control. Additionally, the licensee proposed a revision to TS 3.8.1, AC Sources - Operating, to remove the specific numerical value for fuel oil volume and replace it with time requirements.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an application for an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required. This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

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 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. 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 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 May 2, 2023. 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, 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.
