Acceptance Review: North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2, Revise Technical Specifications (TS)-Alternate to Control Rod Position IndicationBy letter dated February 4, 2015, 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). The proposed license amendment requests the changes to the Technical Specification (TS) TS 3.1.7, Rod Position Indication, to provide an additional monitoring option for an inoperable control rod position indicator. Specifically, the proposed changes would allow monitoring of control rod drive mechanism stationary gripper coil voltage every eight hours as an alternative to using the movable in core detectors every eight hours to verify control rod position. 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 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 301-415-2597.
