The proposed LAR would implement the requirements of Implementation Schedule Milestone 6 in a slightly different manner that described in the approved Implementation Schedule.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the resultsof the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff

=s acceptance review of this LAR.

The acceptance reviewwas 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 applicationhas 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 thelicense (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 oftechnical information required.

This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operatingcharacteristics, 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 NRC staff to complete 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.

Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review ascompared 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. You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staff
