Susquehanna, Unit 1 (SSES1), EPU Power Ascension, Review of Data Package Re: Steam Dryer Performance at 107 and 110.5%

Duane, The purpose of this message is to inform you that the NRC staff has completed its review of the submitted information provided by PPL dated May 31, 2010. In its letter, PPL transmitted the SSES1 Steam Dryer Report for its evaluation of steam dryer performance based on the Main Steam Line Strain Gauge data collected at 3.5% power ascension step (110% of CLTP), as required by the License Condition 2.C.(36)(a)(3) to NRC.

Based on NRC staff's review of the SSES1 summary reports at 107% and 110.5% power, the staff finds it acceptable for SSES1 to ascend to the next and final plateau of the full EPU (3952 MWth) power level. The staff accepts the licensee's conclusion that there is adequate margin in the dryer projected alternating stress at EPU, compared to the allowable value of 13600 psi.

The NRC staff's approval for SSES Unit 2 power ascension step at 103.5% of CLTP as documented by email dated June 2, 2009 is shown below only for additional background and information. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks, Rich Guzman Sr. Project Manager NRR/DORL US NRC 301-415-1030 Richard.Guzman@nrc.gov From: Vaidya, Bhalchandra Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 3:18 PM To: 'Coddington, Cornelius T'; dlfilchner@pplweb.com; ckhoffman@pplweb.com Cc: Mark Hartzman; Basavaraju, Chakrapani; Manoly, Kamal; Khanna, Meena; Pickett, Douglas; Boska, John; Guzman, Richard
