Dear Mr. Snider:

By letter dated June 7, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Package Accession No. ML21158A193), as supplemented by letters dated October 22, 2021 (ML21295A035), October 28, 2021 (ML21302A208), November 11, 2021 (ML21315A012), December 2, 2021 (ML21336A001), December 15, 2021 (ML21349A005),

December 17, 2021 (ML21351A000), January 7, 2022 (ML22010A129), January 21, 2022 (ML22021A000), February 14, 2022 (ML22045A021), February 21, 2022 (ML22052A002),

March 22, 2022 (ML22081A027), March 31, 2022 (ML22090A046), April 20, 2022 (ML22110A207), April 22, 2022 (ML22112A016), May 11, 2022 (ML22131A023), May 20, 2022 (ML22140A016), May 27, 2022 (ML22147A001), June 7, 2022 (ML22158A028), June 8, 2022 (ML22159A151), July 8, 2022 (ML22189A008), July 25, 2022 (ML22206A005), and September 2, 2022 (ML22245A008), Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke Energy or applicant) submitted an application for the subsequent license renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 for Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS), Units 1, 2, and 3, respectively, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Duke Energy submitted the application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 54, Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, for subsequent license renewal.

The NRC staff determined that the application was complete and acceptable for docketing as communicated by letter dated July 22, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21194A245) and noticed in the Federal Register on July 28, 2021 (86 FR 40662).

The NRC staff has reviewed the Oconee Subsequent License Renewal Application (SLRA) and has developed the enclosed Safety Evaluation Related to the Subsequent License Renewal of Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, hereinafter referred to as the Safety Evaluation (SE). The SE reflects the status of the NRC staffs safety review of the SLRA, as supplemented, through September 2, 2022.

The next milestone for this project is the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards Full Committee meeting.

December 19, 2022

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the subsequent license renewal project manager, Mr. Mark Yoo, by e-mail at Mark.Yoo@nrc.gov or Ms. Jessica Hammock, by e-mail at Jessica.Hammock@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Brian W. Smith, Director Division of New and Renewed Licenses Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270, and 50-287
