The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the NRC staffs acceptance review. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the LAR has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

Accession No. ML18023A134), Duke Energy Progress LLC (the licensee) submitted a request for alternative for Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Units 1 and 2. The request is related to meeting the requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code),Section XI, 2001 Edition through 2003 Addenda.

The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the NRC staffs acceptance review. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the staff to complete its detailed technical review.

The NRC staff has reviewed the LAR and concluded that it provides technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed request. However, NRC staffs determination does not preclude the request for additional information as the review proceeds. 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 staffs ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite the completion of the acceptance review.

The NRC staff estimates that this LAR will take approximately 280 hours11.667 days <br />1.667 weeks <br />0.384 months <br /> to complete and that the review can be completed within the time period requested by the licensee. These estimates are based on the staffs initial review of the LAR and they could change due to several factors, including requests for additional information and unanticipated addition of scope to the review. If there are emergent complexities or challenges in the review that would cause changes to the initial forecasted completion dates or hours, the reasons for the changes, along with the new estimates, will be communicated to you.

If you have any questions or need to discuss further, please let me know.
