Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, Dvais-Besse Power Station Unit No. 1, and Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No. - Acceptance of Requested Licensing Action Re: Exemption for Final Safety Analysis Report Update Schedule (EPID L-2024-LLE-0005)
Dear Jack Hicks,
By letter dated February 23, 2024 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML24054A101), Energy Harbor Nuclear Generation LLC, submitted an exemption request for Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Beaver Valley), Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1 (Davis-Besse), and Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No. 1 (Perry). Effective March 1, 2024, the facility operating license for Beaver Valley, Davis-Besse and Perry were transferred from Energy Harbor Nuclear Generation LLC (owner) and Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp. (operator) to Energy Harbor Nuclear Generation LLC (owner) and Vistra Operations Company LLC (operator) (ML24057A092). Upon completion of this license transfer, Vistra Operations Company, LLC assumed the responsibility for all licensing actions under NRC review at the time of the transfer and requested that the NRC continue its review of these actions (ML24054A498). The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this exemption 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.
Pursuant to Section 50.12(a) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the applicant shall demonstrate that a proposed exemption is authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety, are consistent with the common defense and security, and special circumstances are present.
The NRC staff has reviewed your application 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 exemption 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, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review by June 28, 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.
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 of scope to the review. Additional delay may occur if the submittal is provided to the NRC in advance or in parallel with industry program initiatives or pilot applications.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
