Acceptance Review for Peach Bottom - License Amendment Request for Secondary Containment (EPID L-2018-LLA-0264)Date: Monday, October 22, 2018 11:23:00 AM

Dear Mr. Helker,

By letter dated September 27, 2018 (ADAMS Accession Nos.

ML18271A009

), Exelon Generation Company, LLC submitted a license amendment request for Peach Bottom

Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3, that requests to modify the applicability for Technical

Specification (TS) section 3.3.6.2, functions 3 and 4 related to reactor building and refueling

floor ventilation exhaust, respectively.

The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this license 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 for this licensing

action. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the license amendment request has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in the characterization of the

regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

The NRC staff has reviewed your license amendment request and concluded that it

provides 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 license amendment request in terms of 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.

You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staff's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.

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

license amendment request will take a total of approximately 520 hours0.00602 days <br />0.144 hours <br />8.597884e-4 weeks <br />1.9786e-4 months <br /> to complete. The

NRC staff expects to complete this review by September 27, 2019, as you requested.

If there are emergent complexities or challenges in our review that would cause changes to

the initial forecasted completion date (greater than a month) or significant changes in the

forecasted hours (greater than 25%), 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.

Additional delay may occur if the submittal is provided to the NRC in advance or in parallel with industry program initiatives or pilot applications.

Please contact me if you have any questions. A copy of this email will be made publicly

available in ADAMS.

Thanks,

-Jenny
