April 22, 2024 Shaun Anderson Chief, Reactor Decommissioning Branch U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Renewed Facility License No. DPR-35 NRC Docket No. 50-293 and 72-1044
Subject:
Request for Preapplication Readiness Assessment of the Draft License Termination Plan Holtec Decommissioning International (HDI) is respectively requesting the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to conduct a preapplication readiness assessment of the draft License Termination Plant (LTP) for Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS). We are confident that providing the NRC staff with an opportunity to assess the readiness of the draft LTP prior to formally submitting the LTP application will improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the docketed submission by allowing the staff to identify any gaps between the draft LTP content and the technical information required per regulatory requirements and guidance.
We suggest beginning the preapplication readiness assessment in a phased approach beginning in May 2024 leveraging the guidance provided in NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) instruction LIC-116, Preapplication Readiness Assessment and look forward to coordinating with the staff to develop a detailed schedule in support of this effort as soon as practical.
To assist in this effort, HDI has established a secure web portal and will post applicable draft LTP materials to facilitate NRC staff reviews. This LTP information will be finalized and provided publicly on the PNPS docket as part of the official LTP submittal, which is currently being planned for September 2024.
HDI requests NRC feedback on the draft LTP information by July 15, 2024, and that approximately 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> is to be expended as part of this NRC review effort. If additional information is needed in support of this request, please contact Dave Noyes at (508) 830-7826.
This letter provides no regulatory commitments.
