SUBJECT:

H.B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2 - SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION NEEDED FOR ACCEPTANCE OF REQUESTED LICENSING ACTION RE: AMENDMENT REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE TO REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS (CAC NO. MF7048)

Dear Mr. Glover:

By letter dated November 2, 2015, Duke Energy Progress, Inc. submitted a license amendment request for H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2. The proposed amendment would revise the reactor coolant system pressure and temperature limits by replacing technical specification section 3.4.3, "RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits," figures 3.4.3-1 and 3.4.3-2, with figures that are applicable up to 50 effective full power years. The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this amendment request. 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), 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 the information delineated in the enclosure to this letter is necessary to enable the staff to make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendm ent in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment.

In order to make the application complete, the NRC staff requests that Duke Energy Progress, Inc. supplement the application to address the information requested in the enclosure by

[DATE]. This will enable the NRC staff to begin its detailed technical review. If the information responsive to the NRC staff's request is not received by the above date, the application will not be accepted for review pursuant to 10 CFR 2.101, and the NRC will cease its review activities associated with the application. If the application is subsequently accepted for review, you will R. Glover be advised of any further information needed to support the staff's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.

The information requested and associated time frame in this letter were discussed with

[CONTACT] of your staff on [DATE}.

If you have any questions, please contact the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2 Project Manager, Martha Barillas, at (301) 415-2760.
