By letter dated September 10, 2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML 13260A 159), NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC (NextEra) submitted license amendment request (LAR) 13-05 for Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1 (Seabrook). The proposed change is to the Seabrook Technical Specification (TS). Specifically, the proposed amendment would revise TS 6.8.1.6.b, "Core Operating Limits Report," by adding Areva Licensing Report ANP-3243P, "Seabrook Station, Unit 1 Fixed lncore Detector System Analysis Supplement to YAEC-1855PA," which supplements and modifies the previously approved methodology in YAEC-18855PA, "Seabrook Station, Unit 1 Fixed lncore Detector System Analysis," October 1992. The proposed change also modifies the surveillance requirements associated with the heat flux hot channel factor and nuclear enthalpy rise hot channel factor to include revised uncertainty values when measurement is obtained using the fixed incore detector system. The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this amendment. 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. Consistent with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 0 CFR), Section 50.90, 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.

The proposed change is to the Seabrook Technical Specification (TS). Specifically, the proposed amendment would revise TS 6.8.1.6.b, "Core Operating Limits Report," by adding Areva Licensing Report ANP-3243P, "Seabrook Station, Unit 1 Fixed lncore Detector System Analysis Supplement to YAEC-1855PA," which supplements and modifies the previously approved methodology in YAEC-18855PA, "Seabrook Station, Unit 1 Fixed lncore Detector System Analysis," October 1992. The proposed change also modifies the surveillance requirements associated with the heat flux hot channel factor and nuclear enthalpy rise hot channel factor to include revised uncertainty values when measurement is obtained using the fixed incore detector system.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this amendment. 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.
