==Dear Ken,== | |||
By letter dated April 7, 2017 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML17097A322), the Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (SNC, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (HNP). The proposed amendment would revise HNP Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.4.1, "Secondary Containment," Surveillance Requirement 3.6.4.1.2 to provide an allowance for brief, inadvertent, simultaneous opening of redundant secondary containment access doors during normal entry and exit conditions. | |||
The purpose of this email 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. | |||
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 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. | |||
Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 350 hours to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review within 12 months, which is consistent with your requested approval date of April 7, 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. | |||

Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 - Acceptance of Amendment Request Regarding Secondary Containment Access Openings (CAC NOS. MF9590 and MF9591)May 18, 2017 Mr. G. Ken McElroy Licensing Manager Southern Nuclear Operating Company
Dear Ken,
By letter dated April 7, 2017 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML17097A322), the Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (SNC, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (HNP). The proposed amendment would revise HNP Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.4.1, "Secondary Containment," Surveillance Requirement 3.6.4.1.2 to provide an allowance for brief, inadvertent, simultaneous opening of redundant secondary containment access doors during normal entry and exit conditions.
The purpose of this email 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.
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 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.
Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 350 hours0.00405 days <br />0.0972 hours <br />5.787037e-4 weeks <br />1.33175e-4 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review within 12 months, which is consistent with your requested approval date of April 7, 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.
