Cooper Nuclear Station - Acceptance Review of CLIIP LAR to Adopt TSTF-374

By letter dated November 15, 2023, the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML23319A419) to revise Technical Specifications (TS) by relocating reference to specific American Society for Testing Materials standards for fuel oil testing to licensee-controlled documents.

The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this LAR. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient information in scope and depth to allow for the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review of the request. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements, code, or licensing basis of the plant.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the TSs) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required. This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

The NRC Staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment 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 80 hours9.259259e-4 days <br />0.0222 hours <br />1.322751e-4 weeks <br />3.044e-5 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review by July 5, 2024. If there are emergent complexities or challenges in our review that would change the initial forecasted completion date or significant changes in the forecasted hours, the reasons for the changes, along with new estimates, will be communicated during our routine interactions.

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 and unanticipated addition to the scope of the review, and review by NRC advisory committees or hearing related activities.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
