Mr. George T. Hamrick, Vice President Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Duke Energy Progress, Inc.

Dear Mr. Hamrick:

By letter dated September 25, 2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML12285A428), Duke Energy Progress, Inc. (the licensee) proposed to amend the operating license for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, by adopting a new risk-informed performance-based fire protection licensing basis in accordance with National Fire Protection Association Standard 805.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and determined that further information is needed to complete our evaluation of the proposed change.

On July 16, 2014, the NRC staff and your representatives held a conference call to provide you with an opportunity to clarify the proposed RAI related to probabilistic risk assessment. The NRC staff's finalized this set of RAis is shown below which were discussed with Mr. Bill Murray of your representatives on August 6, 2014, to confirm that these RAis do not contain sensitive information that should be withheld from the public and you would respond by August 29, 2014.

The NRC staff considers that timely responses to RAis help ensure sufficient time is available for staff review and contribute toward the NRC's goal of efficient and effective use of staff resources. Please note that if you do not respond to this letter by the agreed-upon date or provide an acceptable alternate date in writing, we may deny your application for amendment under the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 2.1 08. Please also note that review efforts on this task are continuing and additional RAis may be forthcoming.
