R.E. Ginna Post NFPA 805 LAR, Remove Overcurrent Protection Modification, Application Acceptance (CAC No.

MF9948)Date: Thursday, August 03, 2017 4:25:00 PM By letter dated June 30, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17186A233), Exelon Generation

submitted a license amendment request for the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant in order to

remove a required modification associated with Ginna's transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c),

(National Fire Protection Association Standard 805). The acceptance review was performed

to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the 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 application 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 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.

Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that this

request will take approximately 220 hours9.167 days <br />1.31 weeks <br />0.301 months <br /> to complete.

The NRC staff expects to complete

this review in approximately 12 months, which is June 30, 2018.

If there are emergent

complexities or challenges in our review that would cause changes to the initial forecasted

completion date or significant changes in the forecasted hours, 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 staff's 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.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-2597.
