LIC-109 Acceptance - Fermi 2 - ME6015 - LAR for Adoption of TSTF-514, Rev.
3, Revise BWR Operability Requirements and Actions for RCS Leakage Instrumentation By letter dated April 8, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML111010105), Detroit Edison submitted a license amendment request for Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant (Fermi 2). The proposed amendment would revise the Fermi 2 Technical Specifications to define a new time limit for restoring inoperable Reactor Coolant System (RCS) leakage instrumentation to operable status; establish alternate methods of monitoring RCS leakage when one or more required monitors are inoperable; and make TS Bases changes which reflect the proposed changes and more accurately reflect the contents of the facility design basis related to operability of the RCS leakage detection instrumentation.
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 amendment. 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.
Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required.
This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.
The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence. If you have any questions, please contact me
