SUMMARY

AND ACTION REQUIRED (IF ANY)

On April 28, 2023, the NRC staff held a call with SNC to explain that the control rod ejection accident analysis in Vogtle, Units 1 and 2, ATF LTAs LAR, dated June 30, 2022, stated that the LTAs needed to be installed in non-limiting locations, and this contradicted the proposed Technical Specification (TS) change that stated the LTAs can be installed in limiting locations without any caveats. In addition, SNC requested that exemptions to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.46, and 10 CFR part 50, Appendix K for Vogtle, Units 1 and 2; however, the ATF LTAs are proposed to be installed in Vogtle, Unit 2, only.

SNC representatives stated that they understood the NRC concerns and would supplement the Vogtle ATF LTAs request with a revised TS markup and clarify the exemption applicability.
