Acceptance Review: North Anna Power Stat ion Units 1 and 2, Revise Technical Specifications (TS)-Clarification of RCS Heatup and Cooldown TS Figures (TACs MF4707 And MF4708)By letter dated August 27, 2014, Virginia Electric and Power Company (Licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to revise North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications (TS). According to the licensee, TS Figures 3.4.3-1 and 3.4.3-2, North Anna Units 1 and 2 Reactor Coolant System Heatup Limitations and North Anna Units 1 and 2 Reactor Coolant System Cooldown Limitations, respectively, are being revised for clarification and to be fully representative of the allowable operating conditions during Reactor Coolant System (RCS) startup and cooldown evolutions. Specifically, the revisions to TS Figures 3.4.3-1 and 3.4.3-2 are the extension of the temperature axes to reflect temperatures up to RCS full power operation, the extension of the pressure axes to less than 0 psig to bound RCS conditions to support vacuum-assist fill of the RCS loops, and the addition of information regarding the reactor boltup temperature. The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this LAR. 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 request 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 wh ich 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 301-415-2597.
