SUBJECT:
FINAL SAFETY EVALUATION FOR GE-HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY AMERICAS PROPOSED REVISION 17 TO NEDO-11209-A REVISION 16, GE HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (EPID: L-2021-TOP-0036)
Dear Ms. Catts:
By letter dated December 14, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML21348A339), GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) submitted Topical Report (TR) Proposed Revision 17 to NEDO-11209-A, Revision 16, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy Quality Assurance Program Description, for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs review and approval. By letter dated August 9, 2022, the NRC staff issued its draft safety evaluation (SE) (ADAMS Accession No. ML22139A256). In the letter dated August 30, 2022 (ADAMS Accession No. ML22242A155), GEH stated in part that the draft SE does not contain information that GEH determines to be proprietary, and GEH accepts the SE as written without necessity for changes or additional information.
The NRC staff has found the TR 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 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 accepted material described in the TR. When the TR appears as a reference in license 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 GEH publish an accepted version of the TR, within three months of receipt of the date of this email. The accepted version shall incorporate this email and the enclosed SE after the title page.
M. Catts If you have any questions, please contact Ekaterina Lenning via phone at 301-415-3151 or via email at Ekaterina.Lenning@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
