Entergy (Grand Gulf, River Bend, and Waterford-3) - Acceptance Review of the Relief Request EN-RR-22-001, Use Code Case N-752, Risk-informed Categorization and Treatment for Repair/Replacement Activities in Class 2 and 3 Systems (EPID L-2022-LLR-0054)
By letter dated June 30, 2022 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML22181B114), Entergy Operations, Inc. submitted a relief request EN-RR 001 to use the alternative requirements of American Society of Mechanical engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code) Code Case N-752, Risk Informed Categorization and Treatment for Repair/Replacement Activities in Class 2 and 3 Systems,Section XI, Division 1, for determining the risk-informed categorization and for implementing alternative treatment for repair/replacement activities on moderate and high energy Class 2 and 3 items in lieu of certain ASME Code,Section XI, Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components, Subsection IWA, General Requirements, Article IWA-1000, Scope and Responsibility, IWA-4000, Repair/Replacement Activities, and IWA-6000, Records and Reports requirements at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (Grand Gulf), River Bend Station, Unit 1 (River Bend), and Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford-3). This approach will enable evaluation, categorization, and implementation of alternative treatments for resolution of emergent issues in segments of piping having low safety significance.
The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review for the relief 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 relief 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 270 hours0.00313 days <br />0.075 hours <br />4.464286e-4 weeks <br />1.02735e-4 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review by July 21, 2023, or earlier. 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, or unanticipated addition of scope to the review.
