TOPICAL REPORT, ANP-10353P, REVISION 0, INCREASED ENRICHMENT FOR PWRs (EPID L-2021-TOP-0004)

Dear Mr. Peters:

By letter dated January 29, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML21035A074), Framatome, Inc. (Framatome) submitted Topical Report (TR) ANP-10353P, Revision 0, Increased Enrichment for [Pressurized Water Reactors]

PWRs (ADAMS Package No. ML21035A073), to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for review and approval for licensing applications. Framatome states in part that ANP-10353P, Revision 0, addresses the codes and methods used to perform neutronics analyses, thermal hydraulic analyses, non-loss-of-coolant accident (non-LOCA) analyses, loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) analyses, and thermal-mechanical fuel evaluations with respect to applicability to fuel with enrichment greater than 5 weight-percent Uranium-235.

The NRC staff technical review of this TR is ongoing. The NRC staff will perform a virtual regulatory audit on August 17, 2022, via Microsoft Teams. This audit was re-scheduled from May 25, 2022, per Framatomes request. The NRC staff determined that this regulatory audit is needed to facilitate the review. A previous audit was held on September 13, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21305A032). Enclosed for your information is a copy of the proprietary audit plan that the NRC staff will follow.
