NORTH ANNA , UNITS 1-ACCEPTANCE REVIEW, RELIEF REQUEST N1-13-PRT-004-LIMITED COVERAGE EXAMINATIONS PERFORMED IN THE THIRD 10 YEAR INSPECTION INTERVAL (TAC NO. ME3333)ML100321205 By letter dated February 1, 2010, Virginia Electric and Power Company submitted a relief request N1-13-PRT-004, requesting relief from certain requirements of the ASME Section XI Code associated with examinations where only limited weld coverage was obtained for North Anna Power Station, Units 1. The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this relief 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. 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 exemption 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.
