November 7, 2018 Mr. Gary Peters, Director Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Framatome Inc.
3315 Old Forest Road Lynchburg, VA 24501
SUBJECT:
ACCEPTANCE FOR REVIEW OF FRAMATOME INC. TOPICAL REPORT EMF-93-177, REVISION 1, SUPPLEMENT 2P, REVISION 1, "MECHANICAL DESIGN FOR BWR FUEL CHANNELS: Z4B MATERIAL" (EPID: L-2018-TOP-0029)
Dear Mr. Peters By letter dated July 25, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML18211A307), Framatome Inc. (Framatome) submitted for U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff review Topical Report (TR) EMF-93-177, Revision 1, Supplement 2P, Revision 1, Mechanical Design for BWR [Boiling Water Reactor] Fuel Channels: Z4B Material. The NRC staff has performed an acceptance review of TR EMF-93-177, Revision 1, Supplement 2P, Revision 1. We have found that the material presented is sufficient to begin our review. The NRC staff expects to issue its requests for additional information by March 1, 2019, and issue its draft safety evaluation (SE) by May 31, 2019. This schedule information takes in consideration the NRCs current review priorities and available technical resources and may be subject to change. If modifications to these dates are deemed necessary, we will provide appropriate updates to this information.
The NRC staff estimates that the review will require approximately 480 staff hours including project management and contractor time. The review schedule milestones and estimated review costs were discussed and agreed upon in an email exchange between Framatome Licensing Engineer, Jerald Holm, and the NRC staff on October 10, 2018.
Section 170.21 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations requires that TRs are subject to fees based on the full cost of the review. You did not request a fee waiver; therefore, NRC staff hours will be billed accordingly.
If you have questions regarding this matter, please contact Jonathan G. Rowley at (301) 415-4053.
Sincerely,
/RA Jonathan Rowley for/
