Dear Mr. Hightower,

By letter dated June 8, 2012 (Agencywide Document s Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12172A260), Carolina Power and Light Company, submitted a license amendment request for H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2. The proposed change would make corrections in Technical Specifications (TSs) 3.1.4 "Rod Group Alignments" and TS 3.1.7 "Rod Position Indication" to add a note that allows up to one hour soak time following substantial rod movement.

The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this 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.

The NRC staff has reviewed your request 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 staff's 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.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-3302.
