Subject:
Virgil C. Summer, Unit 1 - Acceptance of License Amendment Request regarding Removal of the Expired One-Time Extension to Surveillance Frequency 4.3.3.6 and TS Index (EPID No. L-2018-LLA-0568)
Dear Mr. Moore,
By letter dated December 12, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18346A595), the South Carolina Electric & Gas Company submitted an amendment request to revise the Virgil C.
Summer Nuclear Plant, Unit 1, Technical Specifications (TS). The proposed amendment would remove an expired one-time extension to TS Surveillance Frequency 4.3.3.6, which describes the Surveillance Requirements for the Accident Monitoring Instrumentation. Additionally, this proposed change will remove the Index from the Technical Specifications and place them under licensee control. The requested changes appear to be administrative and non-technical in nature.
The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of NRC staffs acceptance review. 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 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 Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) 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 information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment 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 review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staffs review by separate correspondence.
Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review by April 2019. 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.
If you have any questions, please contact Shawn Williams at (301) 415-1009.
