Beaver Valley Unit Nos. 1 and 2 - Acceptance Review Determination Re:

Emergency Plan Amendment Request (EPID L-2021-LLA-0127)

Phil, By letter dated June 14, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML21167A209), as supplemented by letter dated July 27, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21208A194) Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp. (EHNC, the licensee),

submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and

2. The proposed amendment request would reduce the number of on-shift staff positions, extend augmented Emergency Response Organization (ERO) response times, and re-align augmented ERO response positions.

By e-mail communication on July 15, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21197A024), the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff notified EHNC that information was missing from of the LAR and requested the licensee to resubmit Attachment 4. The licensee submitted its response to the information request on July 27, 2021.

The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the NRC staffs acceptance review of the proposed licensing action. 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 Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),

whenever a holder of an operating license under this part desires to amend the license, application for an amendment must be filed with the Commission fully describing 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, as supplemented, and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical 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 detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

Based on the information provided in your submittal, as supplemented, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 300 hours0.00347 days <br />0.0833 hours <br />4.960317e-4 weeks <br />1.1415e-4 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review by August 12, 2022. If there are emergent complexities or

challenges in our review that would cause changes to the initial forecasted completion date (greater than a month) or significant changes in the forecasted hours (greater than 25%), the reasons for the changes, along with the new estimates, will be communicated during the routine interactions with the assigned project manager. These estimates are based on the NRC staffs initial review of the application and they could change, due to several factors including requests for additional information, unanticipated addition of scope to the review, and review by NRC advisory committees or hearing-related activities. Additional delay may occur if the submittal is provided to the NRC in advance or in parallel with industry program initiatives or pilot applications.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
