Mr. Jerald Senior Vice President, Regulatory Affairs General Electric-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC P.O. Box 780, M/C A-18 Wilmington, NC 28401-0780

SUBJECT: FINAL SAFETY EVALUATION FOR GE HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY AMENDMENT TO NEDO-11209 REVISION 13, "GE HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM DESCRIPTION" (EPID L-2017-TOP-0058)

Dear Mr. Head:

By letter dated October 6, 2017 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML17279A629), GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas LLC (GEH) submitted the proposed amendment to Topical Report (TR) NEDO-11209, Revision 13, "GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy Quality Assurance Program Description," to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff for review. By letter dated December 8, 2017, an NRC draft safety evaluation (SE) regarding our approval of TR NEDO-11209 Revision 13, "GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy Quality Assurance Program Description," was provided for your review and comment (ADAMS Accession No. ML17334A074). By letter dated December 15, 2017, you stated that GEH did not identify any factual errors or clarity concerns in the draft SE (ADAMS Accession No. ML17349A537).

The NRC staff has found that TR NEDO-11209, Revision 13, is acceptable for referencing in licensing applications for nuclear power plants to the extent specified and under the limitations delineated in the TR and in the enclosed final SE. The final SE defines the basis for our acceptance of the TR. Our acceptance applies only to material provided in the subject TR. We do not intend to repeat our review of the acceptable material described in the TR. When the TR appears as a reference in licensing applications, our review will ensure that the material presented applies to the specific plant involved. License amendment requests that deviate from this TR will be subject to a plant-specific review in accordance with applicable review standards. In accordance with the guidance provided on the NRC website, we request that GNF publish an approved version of TR NEDO-11209 Revision 13, within three months of receipt of this letter. The approved version shall incorporate this letter and the enclosed final SE after the title page.

The approved version shall include a "-A" (designating approved) following the TR identification symbol.

If future changes to the NRC's regulatory requirements affect the acceptability of this TR, GNF will be expected to revise the TR appropriately or justify its continued applicability for subsequent referencing. Licensees referencing this TR would be expected to justify its continued applicability or evaluate their plant using the revised TR.

Sincerely,/RA/ Dennis C. Morey, Chief Licensing Processes Branch Division of Policy and Rulemaking Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 99902024
