SUBJECT:
VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - AUDIT AGENDA AND TOPICS IN SUPPORT OF REVIEW OF THE APPLICATION TO ALLOW USE OF LEAD TEST ASSEMBLIES FOR ACCIDENT-TOLERANT FUEL (EPID L-2022-LLA-0097)
Dear Ms. Gayheart:
By letter dated June 30, 2022 (Agencywide Documents and Access Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML22181B156), Southern Nuclear Operating Company submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. The proposed license amendment request (LAR) would allow the use of lead test assemblies for accident-tolerant fuel.
On October 7, 2022 (ML22103A253), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issued an audit plan that conveyed intent to conduct a regulatory audit to support its review of the subject LAR. In the audit plan, the NRC staff requested an electronic portal setup and provided a list of documents to be added to the portal.
The NRC staff has performed a review of the licensees submittal dated June 30, 2022, and developed a list of audit topics. The proposed date for the audit is from Tuesday, December 6, 2022, through Thursday, December 8, 2022. The proposed agenda for the audit is provided as, and the list of Audit topics is provided as Enclosure 2 to this letter.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-3100 or by e-mail at John.Lamb@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
John G. Lamb, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch II-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-424 and 50-425

AUDIT TOPICS By letter dated June 30, 2022 (Agencywide Documents and Access Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML22181B156), Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. The proposed LAR would allow the use of lead test assemblies (LTAs) for accident-tolerant fuel (ATF).
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the LAR and provided the following topics to discuss during the audit.
- 1. Explain the supporting analysis to reach the submittal conclusions for the Rod Ejection Accident.
- 2. Explain the supporting analysis/technical reasoning to reach the submittal conclusion that there is no impact on unfavorable exposure time in the anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) PRA model and that there is no change in time to core damage for other significant accident sequences.
- 3. Criticality Safety Analyses of the ATF/Increased Enriched Fuel
- a. How does doping the fuel assemblies affect enrichment?
- b. Why arent IFBA used in ADOPT fuel rods?
- c. Are the LTAs over or under moderated?
- d. How do the LTAs impact the SFP ITC/MTC, if separated and if collocated?
- e. Walk through the differences between the NFSR AOR in ELV-00511 (ML20244D557) Application for amends to Licenses NPF-68 and NPF-81, revising Tech Spec 5.3.1 to change max enrichment to 4.55 weight percent U-235. And the analysis done for the NFSR for the LTA storage in CN-WFE-02-100.
- f.
Walk through the differences between the SFP AOR in CN-WFE-02-100 and the analysis done for the SFP All-Cell LTA storage in CN-CRIT-VOG-003.
