Sequoyah 1 and 2 - Acceptance Review of Relie f Request RP-01, Revision 1 (TAC Nos.

ME5982 and ME5983)By letter dated April 1, 2011, Tennessee Valley Authority submitted a relief request for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this relief request. Relief is requested from measuring the pump flow rate during the preservice and inservice testing of the Essential Raw Cooling Water Screen Wash Pumps and from measuring differential pressure at five points during preservice testing and establishment of a pump curve. 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 det ailed 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 relief 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.
