Package No. ML13316B090), the licensee submitted a license amendment request for Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Analysis Plus (MELLLA+) and the use of the General Electric Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) analysis code TRACG04. The proposed amendment request would allow operation in the expanded MELLLA+ domain.

Upon review of two documents, Attachment 10 to the 11/01/13 submittal titled, NEDC-33576NP, Safety Analysis Report for Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Maximum Load Line Limit Analysis Plus, and, attachment to

the 02/14/14 submittal titled, Response to NRC Request for Supplement Information in Support of NMP2 MELLLA+ LAR Acceptance Review, the staff has the following requests for additional information:

RAI # APHB-1: Please describe any operator manual actions that will be added, deleted, or changed to support the proposed license amendment, including reductions in time available to complete the actions.
