NRC Acceptance Review for Braidwood Request for Alternative I4R-18 Hi Brian, By letter dated January 11, 2024 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML24012A003), Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (Constellation) submitted a request for alternative to the minimum percentage requirements contained in the ASME Code, Table IWC-2411-1, for the second inspection period which would require examination of two components in A1R24 (April 2024) at Braidwood Unit 1 and examination of three components in A2R24 (October 2024) at Braidwood Unit 2. Specifically, Constellation requested to not perform the required examinations in the second inspection period. These exams along with the other required exams based upon the requirements of Table IWC-2500-1 and Table IWC-2411-1 would be performed n the third period, if necessary. The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.
The NRC staff has reviewed the request and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed alternative 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. If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.
Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that this request will take approximately 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review by March 31, 2024. If there are emergent complexities or challenges in our review that would cause changes to the initial forecasted completion date or significant changes in the forecasted hours, the reasons for the changes, along with the new estimates, will be communicated during the routine interactions with the assigned project manager.
