Mr. Bonifanti and Mr. Palm,

Attached is the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff completeness determination for the Electric Power Research Institutes (EPRIs) BWRVIP-100, Revision 2:

BWR Vessel and Internals Project, Updated Assessment of the Fracture Toughness of Irradiated Stainless Steel for BWR Internal Components. The NRC staff determined that it provides sufficient information for the NRC staff to conduct a detailed technical review.

Also, attached please find the completed form for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff proprietary information withholding determination for EPRIs proprietary version of BWRVIP100, Revision2, BWR Vessel and Internals Project, Updated Assessment of the Fracture Toughness of Irradiated Stainless Steel for BWR Internal Components.

As discussed, the NRC staff plans to issue its draft safety evaluation by September 9, 2024. If needed, the NRC staff will issue a request for additional information (RAI) by February 12, 2024, with a request for EPRI to provide a response within 90 days. The NRC staff estimates that 500 staff hours will be needed to complete the technical review and issue the safety evaluation. The schedule and level of effort could change due to several factors including, the need for additional RAIs, unanticipated changes to the scope of the review, and unsolicited supplements to the topical report. The NRC staff will communicate any changes to the review schedule or estimated staff hours by email, including the reason(s) for the changes.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email lois.james@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

Lois M. James, Senior Project Manager Licensing Projects Branch Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
